On average, 100,000 Americans are wounded by guns each year. Scientists have developed something that could prevent gunshot injuries from happening. Bulletproof skin. What if you replaced your skin with this material? What is bulletproof skin made out of? What do goats and spiders have to do with this? And could this be the solution to gun violence?
