Good ones are $600-800!
Besides, prevention seems better that precaution. Not that we'll get that.

In the GOP’s project 2025 extremist Mandate for Leadership, dubbed “Project 2025: Presidential Transition Project,” the far-right Heritage Foundation has outlined an extreme policy vision to put power—and profits—back in the hands of the corporate gun lobby at the expense of public safety.
Recently, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts even made concerning references to armed political violence on Steve Bannon’s podcast, saying: “[W]e are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” In a post on X, the Heritage Foundation repeated Roberts’ threat of a bloodless revolution.
The violence under the maga policies will just increase all violence.

Maybe a bunch of parents need to start sending their kids to school wearing Kevlar vests, though, as a protest and inviting the media.

Trump said at the Moms for Hate conference that parents were sending their kids to school where they got operations to turn them trans. He’s delusional, but the reality is that parents send their kids to school hoping they just come home at the end of the day.

5.56mm cuts through Kevlar like it isn't even there.
