You didn't answer the question

If cops can't protect us then who can? This is exactly the reason why people in the US want to be armed in the first place. Like hchang said, he's not going to risk his life protecting other families but damn well will protect his own. Cops are human too so they gonna feel the same, can't rely on them. So don't take the guns away, or else forget about protecting anyone even your own family. You might as well just pray to God and hope the shooters have mercy on you.

Like I can't believe people don't actually see the issue. There are actually gun control laws in place but law enforcement did not act on it. Apparently threatening people is not reason enough to issue a court order. This kid already hurt people but yet the cops did nothing. They had 30+ chances. How can we trust law enforcement.

Whats the answer have ever man women and child armed to the teeth because that's what the NRA want's.

hearing armed cops were at the school hiding out just pisses me off to hear.

they basically stood still in fear shitting their pants knowing people were getting killed due to so many loud bangs.

yet if it was a war vet he wouldn't have gave a shit and went to check it out smartly.

just tells me some of these police officers can be pricks giving out tickets and abusing power but when real shit happens like this the tough guy act is turning into a scared little lap dog,What happen to Remembering BASIC TRAINING????

I remember when Columbine happened, the cops were criticized for not doing anything since they waited for SWAT to come and clear the building instead of patrol officers.

Since then they used a tactic which was every time 4 cops arrive on an active shooting scene, they would form a team and search and neutralize the threat.

Maybe that cop was waiting for 3 more officers to search but I could be wrong; at least go inside and pinpoint where the shots are coming from.

There were three other cops. They were all waiting outside when Coral Springs officers arrived

3 cops from BSO arrived and the school liaison officer (who is also BSO) didn't go in. Either they didn't communicate properly, or they didn't think it was safe to go in/scared. Regardless, heads will roll.

Even Peterson should have gone in. According to sheriff Israel.
It may seem like I'm trying to place ALL the blame on the cops. I'm not. TBH, I've got nothing but admiration for what they do as a whole.

My real gripe is how painfully obvious it was the media had their agenda. Their was next to no publicity for all the red flags before this happened, and the officers handling during. But their was huge publicity run by the media for a push towards gun control/bans of certain weapons.
That's what pisses me off. The blind eye bullshit

I'm curious to know whether Canadians on the no fly list could purchase a gun.

It's not just RS, but every site and social media platform where people are able to speak freely about their stance on guns.

This is why nothing changes. Because there are logical arguments to both sides. Combine that with the fact that firearms have been around for a hundred years, and millions are currently in circulation, and that poor horse isn't catching any breaks.

Surprised there's anything left of the poor horse to beat.

Mental health issues, you say?

Just saw the stupidest interview on CNN. it was with Michael Williams a politician from Georgia. He claimed Delta Airlines gave discounts to members of planned parenthood. The CNN host said it was not true. He said it was true because he read it on Google. So I guess everything you read on the internet is true.

Will post when CNN posts the video.

Has anyone else seen the security camera video of the idiot mother and daughter who had a robber pull a gun on them in their store? It was on the news last night or the night before. The level of ineptness shown by the mother and daughter are exactly why the US needs SOME level of mandatory firearms training.

^ yeah those idiots.

Read the comments. People think they did a great job. :lawl:

Guy shoulda blasted them the second she reached for it the first time

They had great fight or flight instincts. But god damn I can’t believe they didn’t die. Was so frustrating to watch

Not really. When the guy left the first time they should have just locked the door. Looks like the guy took around $100. The amount of damage they caused is more then $100 and they almost died.

I'd assume she probably shot at him because she thought he'd be locked in.

Tulsa consistently ranks in the top ten of most dangerous cities in the US. They probably get robbed (or attempted) at least every other month. There's not much to deter these thugs if you don't do something about it yourself.
Personally, I give them credit for having the tits to defend their business.

He would've been, if they didn't fuck up using their own security system.

Then maybe they should become at least vaguely competent with a firearm before needing to use one. Instead of just letting the guy walk out with a few bucks, or trapping him with the doors properly, the daughter nearly shot her mother multiple times. Maybe I'm not understanding the long game here but I think shooting the person you're trying to help is a shitty way to defend yourself.

How do you know the security system didn't malfunction?

They got him, didn't they?
