Then why did they stop parents from running in to the school? Probably they would say to protect them from harm. The mental gymnastics are staggering.

“After she shared her story with reporters, she got the threatening call, dangling charges that could upend her probation related to charges filed more than a decade ago.”

It's a very clear look at cowardice, dishonor and abandonment of duty by police who were simply afraid of a gunman armed with an assault rifle, and who was firing it.
In a way, the abject, paralyzing fear shown by the police is understandable. Assault weapons turn people (who get shot with them) into pink mush.
So maybe we ought to make them illegal to sell (as they were under the Assault Weapons Ban.). It's too late to do anything about the mountains of assault weapons already loose in American society and gun "seizures" are never, ever, ever going to happen.
But, via reinstitution of the Assault Weapons Ban, and the outlawing of further sales of new ones, with a concurrent outlawing of the sale of extended clips (a favorite of mass shooters, more bullets meaning more victims) we might get fewer mass shootings and when they happen (because they will) fewer victims.
Republicans oppose this. If you oppose this, and are think recurring mass shootings in schools and other places are no big deal and just fine with you, vote Republican.
The Democrats aren't perfect but they're not the Republicans who are apologists and enablers for the gun industry and, by extension, mass shooters.
