BULLETPROOF BACKPACKS

[Duchess]

Some of you have seen these already. Wouldn't it stand to reason the kids would then need a shield for their chest & a helmet too?



Are you buying your kids one?

[SIXFOOTERsez]

Duchess, I think those are so the bullet from the gun INSIDE the backpack doesn't cap some 3^rd grader at the water fountain

[ramseycat]

What is this world coming to that we would even need these?

Happens all the time. Spooks with guns are ignorant as hell about guns, glorify them like thats what makes the man. Probably wave it around at the house all the time. The kids see it, the gun owner is brainless about gun safety and kids and pretty much passes that ignorance along to the kids. Kids pick it up and put it in the backpack to be cool, just like baby daddy.
Happened here a week or two ago, some kid had baby daddys gun in his back pack to bring it to school and show off. It went off in the backpack and thankfully missed the other kids.
Of course the correct answer to fix the problem is a bullet proof backpack.

That took several minutes to get because I had to take 2 phone calls and deal with a couple of problems

Lucky those white and hispanic kids who are also showing up to school with guns won't be discriminated against and will have the same access to these bulletproof backpacks as the "spooks" who inspired them.

The world just got a little safer for all...

Well the only way I see that working is if they make a law that all backpacks have to be bullet proof. It's probably not on the top of baby daddy or mama's list to go out and buy a backpack specifically designed to be bullet proof just in case their retarded kid takes their guns to school.

[Maggot]

Poor kids, having to go through life with curvature of the spine because of the 100 lbs backpacks they had to bring through grammar school.

[Duchess]

I think if a parent feels the need to get their kid/s a bulletproof backpack it's probably time to pull their kid out of school and home school or get a tutor.

...and I wonder what the kid thinks when it's presented with a bulletproof backpack.

Nah. I'm just going to tell my kids to hide behind the bulletproof whiteboard.


As school shootings continue to make headlines, a new line of defense has emerged: bulletproof whiteboards.
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore has already snapped up 200 of them for $299 each.

I heard about these yesterday.

Machine guns are illegal in the U.S. for most people, but one small company has found a way around that.
Slide Fire, based in Moran, Texas, plans to sell a semiautomatic rifle that mimics the rapid fire of a machine gun and is also fed bullets from a belt, which provides a huge capacity for ammunition -- potentially thousands of rounds.

Brandon Renner, sales and marketing manager for Slide Fire, says the belt-fed rifle, called the SFS BFR, will be available this fall and sell for $6,000. "It sprays like a fire hose," said Renner. "We recommend no more than 30 rounds on the belt, but one person could make it as big as they want."
Can that be legal?
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says yes, since it's still technically a semiautomatic. The key is that of the pieces that make up a gun, the ATF regulates only the "receiver." It's the only piece that has a serial number and the only one that requires a background check to purchase. Slide Fire modifies the trigger and the stock -- the butt of the gun that sits against the shooter's shoulder.
Slide Fire's technology uses the recoil of the rifle shot to "bump" the gun, speeding up the rate of fire without changing the gun's classification as a semiautomatic, which requires that only one round is fired each time the trigger is pulled.

I laughed when I just read that (because I know you're not serious) but there was a Mom on the news recently who told her daughter to do just that. I thought the mother was too stupid to live.

Also read recently that they are developing, or have developed bullet proof smart boards, for teachers to use as shields, if needed,

[Duchess]

I've seen them, they look like a cutting board.
