Clear back packs = cheap investment.

Females could still keep a small purse for personal items, ie tampons, etc. Same with males.

How big is the smallest hand gun?

Probably wouldn’t solve a pocket knife problem but maybe a gun problem.

I’m not saying it takes the place of gun laws but it can be part of a safe school plan right now. One small step, plus SROs, unarmed hall volunteers to keep watch. More eyes and ears in every hallway.

On the flip side, sports equipment, duffel bags, instrument cases, projects, etc. kids are bringing all kinds of stuff to school besides backpacks.

A clear backpack isn't going to solve anything. A gun could still fit and would be easy to hide. A mass shooter will shoot his way into the school anyway.

A gun nut I know from childhood said his flying “fascists” up for a “gun owner hate rally” was another reason to hate the Patriots. This guy is a member of the US Army.

Look it’s a damn bandaid but it’s something! Cruz’s brother was skateboarding after the murder. Some lady smashed her car with gasoline into one of brevards sattelite location. Kids were arrested bringing weapons to that school again!

Scott had to send troopers in to guard the place. These kid are now a major target and are vulnerable because of all the media.

I didn’t say it’s a solution but geez its a small piece of the pie.

This is not true.
 
It's weird that the die hard Trump supporter Robert Kraft would send his plane for the kids.
 
Did Cruz bring his AR-15 long rifle in the building in a backpack?
 
Yeah that Veterans for Gun Reform spot is really really good.

 
Rubes will not care.
 
NRA online ad spending increased sixfold after Parkland shooting: report

NRA online ad spending increased sixfold after Parkland shooting: report
The National Rifle Association (NRA), the nation's leading gun lobbying group, increased its online ad spending sixfold after the deadly mass school shooting in Parkland, Fla., last month, according to a new report.

While the gun lobbying group briefly went silent online after the shooting, pausing all website and social media advertising, it redoubled its efforts within four days with an aggressive advertising push, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday, citing a review of online data from analytics company Pathmatics.

Daily spending by the NRA in the 24 days before the Parkland shooting averaged $11,300 but leapt to $47,300 on average in the 24 days after the shooting, Pathmatics found, a push that included heavy advertising in the state where the shooting took place.

Florida was the focus of a massive NRA effort on Facebook, jumping from the gun-rights group's ninth to third-most targeted state in the aftermath of the tragedy, the review found, according to the Tribune. The NRA's daily Facebook advertising dollars jumped from $4,400 to $34,000.

Some pro-gun NRA ads also showed up in videos for high school-age viewers, according to the report, following the shooting at the Florida high school that left 17 people dead and more than a dozen others wounded.

The online push was punctuated with fiery speeches blasting gun control efforts by NRA president and CEO Wayne LaPierre and spokeswoman Dana Loesch at an annual conservative gathering near Washington just weeks after the shooting.

A student-led march against gun violence will take place in Washington on Saturday that is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of protesters to demand gun control measures from Congress.
 
Prediction: we will see a double digit % increase in voter turnout among 18-34 year olds this November.
 
And Republicans will continue to make tide pod jokes.

Can’t believe some people here actually thought Republicans cared about victims of gun violence.
 
These kids man...damn they are inspiring.
