Alleged Buffalo Mass Murderer Wore Body Armor In A Terrifying New Trend.

“When a shooter attacked a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, over the weekend, its security guard tried to stop him. At least one of his shots hit the gunman, but it didn’t stop the deadly rampage because the gunman was wearing body armor.
Ten Black people died in the racist massacre, including security guard Aaron Salter, a retired Buffalo police officer hailed as a hero. It’s the latest mass shooting in which the gunman apparently came prepared for anyone trying to stop him with a gun.
At least 21 mass shooters over the last four decades have worn some kind of body armor — and the majority of those were within the last 10 years, according to a database maintained by The Violence Project, a nonpartisan research group that tracks gun violence.

The American public is fed up with mass shootings but any attempt to curtail access to guns is laid to rest at the foot of the Second Amendment and expansive rights the Courts have given to this provision. Even if the Courts were more willing to regulate guns in America our politicians are beholden to the gun lobby and thus no new regulations, with even a prayer of survival, are introduced. Tragically, America’s leaders are not serious about stopping gun violence and so the mass shootings will continue unabated.
