        This will work perfectly, every time someone attacks the school with baseballs.

        @MYMIMISTHEBEST That's a GREAT idea, as long as someone attacks a school with BASEBALLS instead of an ASSAULT RIFLE or GUN

        Anyone attacking the school with a pitching machine will totally be foiled. Unless they show up with a t-shirt launcher... hmm, then they’ll have to issue catcher’s mitts as well. Just as smart as clear backpacks!

        I have a great idea! When a guy goes in to buy an AK rifle just give him a baseball bat. Problem solved.
