Get your 'ballistic level' metal school safety pods for your US school here

What a totally fucked up society

A recent survey conducted with school teachers indicates that nearly half are contemplating transferring schools or quitting altogether due to their concerns about safety. The time to invest in better safety and security measures for schools is now. As the Quitman School District in Arkansas can attest, installing and utilizing National Safety Shelters' safety pods has made a positive impact on the peace of mind of parents and educators and has been the catalyst for driving more revenue and enrollment.

The Quitman school board made the decision to install National Safety Shelters' safety pods in every classroom in 2018. Superintendents and school board members from other districts who have since personally toured the Quitman campus emphatically remarked that the safety pods are the best safety feature that a school district could invest in to protect their students and staff.

Truxler describes parents' reaction to the shelters as "overwhelmingly positive" and reiterates his gratitude for, and belief in, the investment. "I spent a lot of time researching and reading articles concerning school safety and nothing compares to our shelters. I am 100% satisfied with the security that the safety pods produced by National Safety Shelters provide to our students and staff."

The safety pods from National Safety Shelters are unique in that they serve a dual purpose - protection from both tornadoes and active shooters. They have been designed and tested to withstand the destructive forces of the highest category (EF5) tornado. In addition, each safety pod is constructed with American-made, National Institute of Justice (NIJ) ballistic Level III steel (MIL-DTL-46100). Being virtually bulletproof, the pods are capable of stopping bullets from semi-automatic weapons, such as AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, which are commonly used in mass shootings.

National Safety Shelters Partners With School District to Improve School Security With Safety Pods

Schools that install safety pods can see an increase in revenue due to higher enrollment, as parents feel secure in dropping their children off at schools...

Seems like a lot of hassle

Couldn't they just ban automatics and, like, maybe carry out more thorough checks on gun purchasers?

No, that would be bad.

Worse in fact, for reasons never adequately explained, than the habitual mass murder of children.

Also frankly a lot of American kids wouldn't fit in there.

Is that a handy little peephole that I see there? Through which I can drop a grenade with great ease?


Surely it has bullet proof glass, otherwise it would be stupid.

Perfect.

One of my schools would have loved something like that - their idea of giving you "time out" was to lock you in an utterly sterile little room lined with metal cupboards/filing cabinets and leave you to bounce-off them for prolonged periods!

One of the things that horrified me most about the Uvalde shootings was the amount of people who tried to deflect the responsibility on to the school because they didn't have the kids utterly locked away from the rest of the world. WTF!

If only there were another way of stopping US children being murdered in their classrooms...
