The AR 15 has 30 grounds. The pistols the Broward County police carry have 15. The Coral Springs Police Department had no trouble running into the building and, stopping the shooting. It wasn't a matter of being out gunned that kept the Broward County police out of the building. It was either a shocking act of being cowardly or, they truly thought the shooter was outside of the building. I find this excuse a little hard to accept but, they deserve to be able to tell their side of the story. My point was that everyone wants to blame it on a semi automatic weapon when there is much, much more to this. It has just now come out that along after 18 domestic violence calls, repeated pleas to stop this young man "From being becoming the next school shooter," a 911 call that he had put a gun to man's head, the shooter himself had called the police and, said that after his mother died he was in trouble....not once did the Broward County police do a thing. This kid should have had an arrest record, his life long bout with mental illness should have been in the background check database. If people were behaving with even a marginal amount of competency, he would not have been eligible to own any type of weapon. It is all very sad. Too many people are trying to politicize this tragedy instead of looking at everything that went wrong, so solutions can be found to make schools safer and, the officials that let this mentally ill kid fall through the cracks can be held accountable.
