also some democrats actually tried to introduce a bill to ban non-cops from being able to own body armor of any kind so the partisan lines have already been drawn.
Kevlar will "only" stop pistol rounds, if a mass shooter uses an AR-15, an assault rifle or any other gun firing rifle rounds a Kevlar vest won't help at all unfortunately. You need steel or ceramic plates to stop rifle rounds.
But I get your point, it's a terrible situation and any protection is better than nothing.
if the death toll gets high enough the democrats might be able to ram through a new assault weapons ban or something so the next time a bunch of people get gunned down in a supermarket, it'll be with a gun that has a muzzle brake instead of a flash hider.

Ready for the anti-Kevlar movement to have astroturfed protests outside of the Michigan statehouse
Unfortunately, I think most anti-maskers would be psyched to wear Kevlar everywhere

The idea that you can mitigate gun violence through your own behavior is just "personal responsibility" bullshit anyways.

If we lived in the type of society that actually handed out useful things to people for free, we probably be here.
