Now You Can Buy A Bulletproof Blanket Specifically Made For Kids To Use During School Shootings
It’s come to this. We’ve now had so many mass shootings that entrepreneurs see space in the market for a bulletproof blanket, made specifically to shield small children from gunfire.
The Bodyguard Blanket, made by a company called ProTecht, is a bulletproof 5/16-inch pad, made from the same materials used by our military, except it’s for kids. They even come in different sizes.

No we’re not talking about gun laws, just arm your children with these bulletproof shields, you’ll sleep easier at night.

I am a sans serif Superman and my only kryptonite is pretentious buzzkills like you. (…)
