When I drop my daughter off at public school, I give her this advice: run or ambush. Shelter-in-place? FTS. That makes it easy to slaughter tightly gathered innocents. If you have kids in public school, what do you tell them to do should a spree killer or killers start annihilating their classmates, teachers and/or administrators?

According to B&T’s website, “We are producing weapons, accessories and suppressors for police, military, special units, and some qualified private shooters.” Here in the U.S., most of B&T’s Swiss-made guns hover around the $2,000 mark.
