War is a racket, even if it’s against your own people. Gun culture and the shootings epidemic, and the subsequent industries that have sprung up as a result like this one, are massively profitable for a small group of people who either work in government or have it financially by the balls via “lobbying” (bribery), and they will always prioritise that profit over your life (or the lives of innocent children, for that matter). Every, single, time.
not all children are innocent
Please elaborate, or you sound like you’re victim blaming, or an idiot who missed the point.
The most important thing about children dying is how can we profit off of it?
Sell weapons
oh no kids dying
sell armor
???
Profit
Create your own market opportunities!
anything other than take away gun i guessIt’s to the point of grifting now.As the founding fathers wanted.
This pre-dystopia phase is killing me. Can we just fast forward to the full-on Mad Max post-collapse era?
Go free market! Yay!
Failed state
Sell the sickness then sell them the cure.
The treatment.
Cures don’t create dependency on the ones that sold the sickness.
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
But do you know what I have seen in every school my kids have gone to? There’s always a door propped open, broken, or trivial to bypass the lock. Why don’t we start there?
This is cynically capitalist and just theater anyway. Any plates that reasonably approximate NIJ III+ would be prohibitively heavy for children to carry throughout the day, if they actually wore them at all. The whiteboard/shield combo is my favorite one here: almost reasonable!
