The only idiot here is you. Kevlar doesn't make you immune to pain, doesn't dissipate the force of a bullet completely, nor does it negate every caliber of handgun. Also, you can hit anyone with any caliber in any part of the body and they will feel it. Get the right size caliber and you'll knock them down or even kill them regardless if the bullet goes through the vest or not.

Congrats on being completely fucking stupid.

Its definitively possible that stricter gun laws could have prevented this guy from getting guns. From the little i know about this incident it looks as if the guy wasn't some career criminal with lots of connections to black market shit. He got a hold of some nerve gas but he didn't have rpgs or anything

Though as previous posters pointed out already even though these incidents are an absolute tragedy this stuff hardly ever happens and the likely hood of this happening to you is slim to non.

If you make something illegal you create a black market for it which inherently comes with crime/violence(see war on drugs)... i think its pretty easy to make an argument that while maybe being able to prevent more tragedy's like this, a lot more violence would occur every year if you made a majority of guns illegal because of the black market. I guess it depends on how strict of gun control you implement.

There might real world examples of why stricter gun control is good but i would argue that preventing stuff like this isn't a good enough reason. for the record i don't own a gun or have a fascination with them.

You hicks don't get it. That is what you get for living in a state where you can readily buy automatic and high-powered weapons.

You don't see this type of thing happening in the most populous city in the United States, Do you? Thanks Mayor Bloomberg.

New York murder rate is above the national average.

I just read that the gunman plays on Project1999, the internet's most popular emulated Everquest server.

We are the safest big city in the U.S.A considering population.

"Among the 182 U.S. cities with populations of more than 100,000, New York City ranked 136th in overall crime."

"While crime rates have stopped decreasing for a decade in the rest of the United States, in New York the murder rate for 2011 is at an all time low of 466, more than a 10% decline from the previous year, and the lowest count during the period that crime statistics have been recorded.

The homicide count for Los Angeles is 300 people in a population of 3.7 million. They have 7.6 murders per 100,000 people while New York City has more then double the amount of people living in a much more confined area with only 6.4 murders per 100,000 people.



Gun control works.

I think its pretty unlikely for this type of incident to happen anywhere....you think just cause gun control laws are tighter makes this type of thing impossible in new york? pretty sure hijacking a plane is illegal there too
