This is not an American solution I think WalMart has a real opportunity here. They just get their Chinese associates to whip up a nice looking helmet and flak jacket with marginal protective effectivesness. Then sell it at everyday low prices. All American solution for a All American problem.
Stop the violence now. I guess you didn't read this excellent link from sayareno just a few posts after yours. You must accept the link since it is from an English paper, the Daily Mail.
it's four policemen in Detroit. How many have to die before we start tightening up on gun controls?
And what was different about this shooting?
Give up?
These people are all alive because they had guns. They returned fire and killed this guy. The people who were shoot and killed in AZ did not have guns. They were unable to shoot back and some of them died. If they had guns, most, if not all of them, would be alive today. If anyone has blood on their hands, it's the gun control nuts who want to keep the law abiding public unarmed and vulnerable to the next nut case who goes off.

Guns aren't the problem. It's the criminals using them and that certainly doesn't justify taking them away from law-abiding citizens who actually have a RIGHT, written in our constitution, to have them.
Gunman shoots 4 officers inside Detroit precinct (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110124/ap_on_re_us/us_detroit_police_shooting#mwpphu-container - broken link)
Sounds like a man with a death wish.
Not sure why this would effect law abiding gun owners.
Think I agree. Who but a madman goes into a police precinct on a shooting spree!?

A suicide by cop person? That is not necessarily a madman. Can one collect on an insurance policy under those circumstances? For all we know, this guy had a family to support and a life insurance policy?
