is this what it's come too, bulletproofing our kids for school?  how can we expect them to learn being preoccupied with death and guns?

Dubbed “the Armani of bulletproof clothing,” the Bogota-based company that bears his name sells trench coats, sweaters, leather jackets and blazers, along with more standard fare, bulletproof vests. But now Caballero, ever on the lookout for new customers, is zeroing in on an untapped market: American schoolchildren.

With his new line, MC Kids, Caballero offers backpacks and jackets for kids, including some in girlie pink and stamped with fluttering fairies, that are also outfitted with bulletproof plating to stop the slugs from an Uzi. Caballero, 46, said that in his 20 years of business, there had never been a demand in Colombia for bulletproof children’s clothing.

was this part of the right wing war against gun laws, get richer off of scared parents and playing their fears against them in the name of saving their lives from bullets fired by guns the republican NRA refuse to take off the streets,

 no it's those parents and zealots that think it's more important to be able to kill another and throw you a bone by bulletproofing our children, what's next bulletproof school buses, bulletproof lunchboxes?  no market no profit no sales. recognize

But the United States is a different market: a country where there are about as many firearms as people, Caballero pointed out, and where mass shootings have simply prompted some to stock up on weapons and seek other forms of protection.

“The rest of the countries in the world try to disarm, but in the United States they say, ‘Let’s protect ourselves,’ ” he said. “So in that light, that’s a business opportunity.”

isn't this tantamount to putting a bounty on our kids by foreign countries can't believe corporations are not vested in this latest get ricer scheme, as the bullets get more sophisticated and the body count rises new textured bulletproofing of your kid is needed more money than healthcare.

foreign countries thinking if we are intent of killing ourselves why not make a few bucks, after all they made a "KILLING" in drugs, why not make another killing off the killings?  Bain would invest in that sound business deal that is as  long as our kids hold out.
