agreed wholeheartedly...
i guess that begs the question about whether the police forces are able to handle these types of threats... the SWAT teams would definitely be, but regular beat patrol cops seem like they would be severely under powered...
i am asking as someone that doesn't have knowledge, but are AR-15s able to penetrate body armor? i had assumed that they had some armor piercing ability?
