No, we need sharpshooters in every school. At every possible entrance.
Duh.
There was no armed officer inside the school and the doors were unlocked, and children died. No amount of your sarcasm can change that. But if the doors were locked and there was an armed officer inside, chances are that the gunman would not have gotten in at all.
If an 18yo couldn’t buy an AR-15 he wouldn’t have been there at all.
Exactly.
Do all these armed guard folks work for the gun industry? Funny how the nra solution involves thousands and thousands of schools districts having to buy more and more weapons. F off nra. We want less of these horrible weapons, not more

And couldn’t they have just gone to the same sporting goods store and picked up the same gun and rounds of ammunition as they leisurely drove to the school?
I am sure the truth of what happened is even worse than what the police are sharing, though it strains me to imagine how that could be at this point.
They had the weaponry. The did not have the tactical equipment to protect themselves. They still should have gone in

The school had no resource officer on premise, armed or otherwise.
I guarantee you that if there was a proper perimeter fence, locked doors and and armed resource officer, as well as signs posted saying that adults on premise were armed and ready to engage, the shooting would never have happened. These cowards go for easy targets. Stop making things easier for them WHILE you work on legislation.
she overheard talk of police waiting outside the school. As she recounted this part of the story during the interview, she started crying, saying she just didn’t understand why they didn’t come inside and rescue them.“

You want to treat the symptoms without getting to the cause. Easy access to weapons of mass destruction.
Treating the cause takes time. It’s also not nearly as easy.

Sure he would have.

Doesn’t matter. Kids are in classroom getting murdered- you rush in. ANY one would say that is the right thing to do. Police know that too...they were just too afraid and can claim “training protocols”
Law enforcement has a fairly stable percentage of support for the assault weapons ban because they know that getting shot by one of them basically pulverizes everything within your body, and the wounds aren’t survivable. That’s why they didn’t go in. That’s why. They aren’t agents of public safety. They are armed soldiers for the state, by and large. There are exceptions in terms of departments and roles, but make no mistake. We have witnessed a department that lies, that shamelessly puts forth as an explainer ‘they (police) could have gotten shot’ — why would they do that? Because they know there is no expectation, no career consequence, certainly no job loss, for failure to help. None. None.

Slice it how you want but the cops did not go into that school because that kid had an assault rifle and would have mowed them down. That's a problem. The only for society and our children but for law enforcement

It’s not being an armchair expert to believe your own eyes and ears at this point.
