Doing some research for a documentary and went to the local gun show. The most disturbing item was not the $2000 flamethrower, or the pack of zip ties for $15, or even the fact that you can walk out with a weapon of war along with a 60 bullet magazines in under 15 min…. It was the kids bullet proof vest that caught my eye. School supplies of the future??? If you think this is disturbing, let me know.
