Ballistic armor companies are marketing protective products designed for the military to parents and schools. Some people see the items as unsettling but prudent; others find them infuriating.
Jesus Christ, what a load of crap. No tragedy is horrible enough to keep people from wanting to profit.
I’ll buy those door wedges as prudent and cost effective, as well as safety drills: being able to react to an emergency can be important. Does every school do that yet

Most schools make you buy a clear backpack, so they wouldn’t be able to use these anyway.
Sell the sickness then sell them the cure.
The treatment.
Cures don’t create dependency on the ones that sold the sickness.
Go free market! Yay!
This pre-dystopia phase is killing me. Can we just fast forward to the full-on Mad Max post-collapse era?
We as Americans will address anything and everything, except root causes.
