3. Unlikely to be wearing one at graduation.

4. Graduation? You can fit a lot of bullet-proofing under a black robe. nt

5. You'd wear a backpack under your robe?

Have you worn one of those robes? You’d look a bit weird.

And besides, who would think to do such a thing? Only going to protect your back anyway.

9. No I wouldn't.

"I did my own research" and the internet says "Kevlar is lightweight, flexible, and relatively thin, which allows it to be easily worn under clothing and remain concealed."

And of course, on both front and back.

I never wore one of those robes. Private high school just kicked us out the door, and for college, we had an alternate graduation, thumbing our noses at the university president, and Tricky Dicky!

No robes were needed for the alternate ceremony.

6. Amazon has a nice selection of Kevlar clothing.

7. Better, far better, that we have a mass shooting every day

Than even one person not be able to get his hands on a firearm on demand.

8. Gotta' sell more gunz so that every good guy has a few......

The good guy with a gun theory won't work until every single good guy in the country has at least two or three.
