A while ago my friend stumbled down an ebay search hole and found that some bot had determined that people wanted stickers that combined Nazi imagery with pro-union slogans and I always wondered why the hell it felt there was a market for that but I guess now I know

Strom Thermos posted:sorry honey, I could only afford the handgun insert. I saw one of these armored backpacks demonstrated on local news the other day and the pitchman said it was "rated level IIIA" without explaing that that meant and proceded to show its effacacy with a suppressed MP5. I couldn't help but think they chose that over an actual pistol because scared parents who arent gunhaver dorks could reasonably mistake a pistol caliber SMG for an AR-15 and think it was rifle rated. Like the whole thing is obviously absurd at every possible level but how capitalism.mp4 cherry on top is it to trick them into thinking their kids are protected from The Scary Gun when they aren't?

They wouldn't be protected from The Scary Gun even if they had level IV ballistic steel plate because a backpack is not body armor and you'd have to train your kid to like, try and find their backpack that's probably on the floor or somewhere and then get in a position where they can hide their entire body behind it during an active shooter situation instead of like, using the 5 or so seconds that wasted to do literally anything else more productive. And then you've got your kid in a position where even if the best option is running away, they'll psychologically want to stay put behind their magic backpack because it's "safe" or whatever. e: I mean I think you already know all this, I just wanted to bitch

Oh yeah I agree the whole thing is absurd at every level but the cherry on top is even if everything works out PERFECTLY the kid still doesn't have the correct level of protection from the gun everyone is most scared of, and they seem to be deceptively selling it like they would be.

Also summer camp in the middle of the hottest summer on record.

That just reminded me, a friend of mine had a mom that went a bit crazy back during the post-9/11 hysteria. Remember when people were wrapping their entire house in plastic to keep out chemical weapons? Yeah well, friend had to do drills where she'd get into a full NBC suit while her mom timed her to make sure she could do it automatically and as fast as possible, and she definitely doesn't have tons of anxiety disorders as a result of poo poo like that today no sir!

Then again my granpap didn't get jack poo poo for protection when he was defusing Japanese detonators during WWII and as a result he lost both a finger and an eye so I guess it's a step in the right direction

It's cuz you need your hands free to do this right and if you gently caress it up continuing to have hands or not is gonna be the least of your worries.

The actual correct answer is the part you wrote about strictly controlled entry/exit points and security checks for all individuals entering/leaving the building. Access to the school, classrooms, and kids needs to be strictly controlled not just because of psycho shooters. Custody poo poo is crazy these days and I've seen multiple violent confrontations with family members getting into schools to try and take "their" kid.
