[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to know why a teacher propped the outer door open and left it that way. Sadly, the teachers who died had not locked their classroom doors in keeping with security protocol. And why was the school resource officer not on the campus when the shooter arrived?

Had those three things been different, the loss of life would likely have been significantly lower.

The commander who kept his cops waiting in the hall is not the only person who made lethal mistakes.[/quote]

If a mentally ill teenager couldn’t get his hands on an AR15 and ammunition, the carnage would have been nonexistent.[/quote]

Then he could get a glock or other gun instead and shoot kids with that.  Banning AR 15s is certainly worth discussing, but it will not by itself stop school shootings.[/quote]

Why do you think school shooters consistently choose guns like the AR15, instead of Glocks?[/quote]

Is this your logic?

AR 15s shoot more bullets and shoot faster than handguns.

Therefore, without AR 15s . . . there would be no more school shootings?  [/quote]

With minimal practice a semiauto Glock 9 magazine with 24 rounds can be emptied in under four seconds. A new magazine can be clipped in a few seconds. There’s more recoil than a semiauto rifle, and less accurate over a long distance, but it’s just as deadly. And much cheaper. [/quote]

Getting shot with a Glock can obviously be deadly, but "as deadly" is wrong. An AR-15 fires a round with a great deal more energy, with less recoil, and greater accuracy. In a shooting that matters a great deal. You can kill someone with a Brown Bess, but it would be crazy to call it "just as deadly" as a modern gun.[/quote]
