Bulletproof backpacks have become another back-to-school staple
Bulletproof backpacks have become another back-to-school staple
Crayons, glue, pencils, bullet-resistant backpack.
For some parents, that’s what a back-to-school shopping list looks like this year.
Guard Dog Security’s ProShield Scout backpacks are stocked for back-to-school season at Office Max and Office Depot stores and on the retailers’ website. Signs on the display say, “protection in session” and “bullet resistant backpack.” The office supply stores are not alone. Homedepot.com and other retailers also sell the brand.
“The backpack has been a popular item,” Yasir Sheikh, president and founder of Skyline USA, the company that makes Guard Dog Security products, said in an interview. “We have sold out a few times this year.”

Did anyone ever believe that bulletproof packpacks would be a hot seller for kids returning to school? In my day, all we had to worry about was a nuclear explosion which would vaporized us. I think that's more preferable to worrying about a man coming down the hall of a grammar school with a semi-automatic weapon firing as he walks.
Fifty years ago, civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer spoke before the 1964 Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, and her speech became one of the most pivotal moments of the Civil Rights Movement. The big takeaway from her speech are words that still resonate more than 55 years ago. "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired."
The same can be said about gun legislation. People have just about reached a breaking point waiting for Congress to enact gun legislation that's not merely a panacea to shut up activists, this country needs meaningful legislation like red flag laws and a national assault rifle ban.
Today, Trump is walking back his promise to get enhanced background checks made into law. defend current US gun control measures, stating "we do have a lot of background checks right now." Trump will pivot and pledge to build mental hospitals to put all those crazy white terrorists in institutions probably run by friends of his like John Kelly who has been profiting from running the detention center in Homestead, Florida. This is a big joke on the American people. Trump is completely controlled by the NRA as are many other republicans in Congress.
Here's a guy testing out the ability of a child's backpack to stop a bullet from a handgun at close range.
