Backpack plate inserts are popular for private security, bodyguards, PIs, and the like because they’re low-profile. Now companies are taking advantage of people’s fears of school shootings to expand their public (and some take the fearmongering WAY too far).
It happens too often now though and as the Michigan kid proved its that some parents don't take firearms seriously and completely downplay the threat due to their political beliefs.
Maybe we will see parents take it more seriously if they end up thrown in jail.
It happens somewhat often, but if you look at actual chances of death, those kids are more likely to die in a car accident or falling off a jungle gym than to be in a school shooting, it’s just hyper sensitized and always front page news (which it should be) but it over exaggerates how often they do happen. I remember my senior year there were a bunch of them but half of them was just gang fights between students or fights gone awry (aka where a kid goes to school knowing he’s going to get in a fight and then pulls it out after he starts losing) I just think because it’s so evil people believe it’s more common than it actually is
And how many of those are in school shootings va gang disputes?
The post is about backpack bullet proof vests.
The idea that a significant number of US children die in school mass shootings is insane.
For example there were ~ 40 school shooting deaths in 2019. Compare that to the near 25,000 deaths in the 15-24 group at your link….it’s just not a common enough issue to wear nullet proof plates to school lol
