    Sales of bulletproof backpacks boomed this month as security-conscious parents reacted to the #ParklandShooting where a teen attacker armed with a military-style rifle killed 17.https://usat.ly/2Fe5q7q

        Honestly why’s really messed up is they probably took it out of either disaster relief or just the state education funds

        If we don't turn the House &/or Senate in November, we'll have the GOP Congress cutting SS, Medicare, Medicaid & other social programs bc now that the Tax Scam is law the GOP miraculously will return to being Fiscally Responsible. The Dems will fix the Tax Scam Law if in office.

        How do you know you’re living in a s**thole country? Parents buy bulletproof backpacks because they fear gun attacks in schools. That’s 3rd world s**t!

        First of all, it was a weapon of war. Secondly, they're not going to have the backpack on all day. #ItsNotEnough #Parkland #March4OurLives

        The words bulletproof backpack do NOT belong together. Only in America would we invent a product to help protect children against being shot, without addressing the real problem. #BoycottNRA #BanAssaultWeapons #VoteWithPaperBallotOnly
