The United States is probably the only country with a spike in bulletproof backpack sales.

Indeed, it is. It is the only country that registers more than 300 mass shootings every year.

According to the founder and CEO of Leatherback Gear, Mike De Geus, his company saw an 800% increase in sales volume after the Uvalde, Texas massacre.

De Geus is a former Secret Service agent for the last three former presidents.

Bulletproof backpacks spike

According to his testimony, the Leatherback Gear grants the same bulletproof amount of armor that Secret Service agents have while protecting the presidents.

De Gaus told TMZ that the Sport One Jr. backpack is the most bought item. Designed for an active shooting situation.

The bulletproof backpack costs $249.99, and it creates a bulletproof vest in seconds, separating the item into two pieces. It covers the front and back of the person.

Other bulletproof backpack manufacturers -TuffyPacks and Guard Dog Security- saw an increase in demand from consumers and retail partners.

Guard Dog Security told TMZ that they donate a portion of their revenue to Make Our Schools Safe, an organization founded by the parents of a deceased student killed during the Parkland school shooting.

The sales of bulletproof backpacks always spike after a mass shooting tragedy.

Are backpacks the solution?

While Democrats try to reform gun laws, Republicans blame mental health, lack of Christian principles, doors, lack of armed teachers, social media, video games, and more.

The United States is the only country in the world that averages more than one mass shooting every day.

The US is the only country in the world where an 18-year-old has access to an arsenal of weapons by presenting an ID.

No interviews with the police, no carrying license, no training, no clearances by a law enforcement agency, no worth it filters to acquire a military-style weapon.
