Sales soar for kid-themed body armor backpacks

This is not a sick joke. It is a sick money-making endeavor, and it appears to be raking in the cash.

A few points:
Many schools no longer allow backpacks.
If they do, they require the kids to put them in lockers and leave them there.
This kind of armor, such as it is, will not stop a 5.56 round.

What.The.Fuck?!?

The fact that a company sees incidents such as Newtown as a business opportunity speaks volumes.

We, as a country, have serious problems with guns…more specifically, “assault” rifles and handguns.

Regulate the fuck out of them.
