Just to recap. There are millions of AR styled rifles in the US and unlike today's talking points it is NOT the weapon of choice for mass shooters. The national conversation is always to discuss how to restrict firearms from law abiding citizens and NEVER discuss the people. The people being; the shooter, the responders and those who don't respond. We don't have a lot of information yet on the Highland Park shooter so let's talk about Uvalde, TX mass shooter.
At Robb Elementary, Salvadore Ramos, 18, entered the school through an unlocked door with an AR style rifle and slaughtered children. Police entered the building through the same door within 3 minutes. The appalling fact the follows is that for an hour and 17 minutes the Police did nothing. In other words, Ramos was allowed to continue his mass shooting for 64 minutes with no interruption by armed Police officers. If you care and watch either of the videos below you may be appalled to see officers checking their cell phone and getting some hand sanitizer from a wall dispenser and the moment they hear a gun shot they run to safety while children are slaughtered. All the while, the officers outside the building did everything they could, including force, to keep parents from entering the building to save their children.
In my opinion, although the Supreme Court ruled years ago that the Police do NOT have a duty to protect us, there is absolutely no room for cowardice in Law Enforcement.
