BREAKING: After a months long investigation into why police hesitated during the Uvalde school shooting, the answer is in: the police were afraid to confront the killer’s AR-15. This raises a very important question, if police are too afraid to confront an AR-15 where does that lead the rest of us? Nearly 400 law enforcement officers were implicated in the poor response that left 19 children dead. It’s time to ban assault rifles.
So if you’re a teacher in a school and you hear shooting, and your know the police will take at least 10 minutes to get there and they may be afraid of doing anything when they do, your solution is not to be able to defend yourself? The proper solution is allow teachers to carry (with certification of continual safety training), put armed guards at the school and signs sayin “Anyone who attempts to harm children will be shot”. Guarantee that school will not be attacked.
@CalltoActivism I don’t disagree that no average citizen needs an A.R-15, but I also sit here thinking why on earth is law-enforcement not trained with those weapons and at least bringing those weapons to the scene..? That type of weapon was designed for law-enforcement and military.
@CalltoActivism Well, no wonder the Cheif was fired. He failed to properly train his people.
@CalltoActivism I have taken on groups with automatic rifles with only my M4 and body armor. These people were just cowards and unwilling to put themselves in harms way to save others. They should all be fired. State employed cowardice doesn't trump my individual rights. "poor response" 100%
@CalltoActivism There is NO reason citizens should be allowed to own a weapon that can turn a person to mist in seconds.
@CalltoActivism This was my entire argument against selling military style weapons to the public, it renders law enforcement impotent @CalltoActivism
@CalltoActivism That is no excuse for failing to act. The AR15 is no more dangerous or lethal or powerful than any other firearm. It’s not even allowed for deer hunting in a lot of jurisdictions. It’s a small caliber varmint or predator firearm.
@CalltoActivism We need to ban the AR-15 and all assault weapons. x.com/american2084/s…
@CalltoActivism The police are not legally required to be brave. Clearing a room like that with an active shooter is extremely difficult to do and the number of people that can actually do it is very small.
