So this is what the civilized United States of America has come to.
Instead of doing something simple to curb gun violence, like issuing background checks to act as a deterrent for those with bad intentions, you know, make it harder for lunatics to buy a gun. We are instead, preparing our kids to be sitting ducks in schools with bullet proof blankets.
An Oklahoma company – ProTecht – has developed the blanket made from bullet proof material hopeful that schools would pay the $1000 price tag for the blanket.
The blanket they say, would help protect the child from falling debris in the event of certain natural disasters, but would also help when the mass murderer with his Second Amendment Semiautomatic comes knocking at their classroom door. The only requirement is that the nice murderer stands outside the classroom and wait until all the children are fully covered before opening fire.
And if that’s not good enough news for you, consider this: someone is about to make a lot of money with their bullet proof blankets.
Capitalism at work here folks, there is a need and the market steps forward to address that need!
Chalk up another victory for the NRA and the Republican party.
Absolute Insanity!
