that these backpacks may provide protection against handguns, but they aren’t entirely “bulletproof” as they weren’t officially certified by the National Institute of Justice., there were 24 school shootings with injuries and deaths in 2018. In February, 17 people were killed in the Parkland shooting and just three months later, eight students were killed at a shooting in Santa Fe, Texas.
, for example, can now carry guns in school, thanks to a bill passed this week by state lawmakers. The new law expands on an existing school “guardian program” that allows a teacher to volunteer to carry a weapon if their local school district approves.
And while our elected officials refuse to take major steps in coming up with better gun control laws like universal background checks and better waiting periods and requirements, we’ve got bulletproof backpacks for elementary students. It’s a sad reality, to be sure. But what else is there to do when people in charge care more about guns than they do the lives of children? And if our politicians are showing us all that profiting from the NRA is acceptable, it’s hardly a surprise backpack companies would take a cue from them and capitalize off the murders of innocent children by charging parents $130 for something that could potentially provide protection from stray bullets flying down their child’s school hallway.
