(84 posts)Your original premise is that it is understandable that this coward valued his live over those he was sworn and paid to protect and that he must have had xray vision to know the killer had an AR-15, which is some instant death ray and way worse than any other gun.
I show how you were factually wrong about everything you said and apparently when faced with facts, you call them hair-splitting gun details.
This guy should feel terrible that not only did he let people's children die while he cowered outside, but those same people will be paying his pension while he lives out his golden years. I did the math and based on receiving 75% of his highest years salary, which is over $100k a year, he is going to be collecting upwards of $6,000 a month. I happen to live in Broward, know people involved, including one student who was in the building hiding during the shooting and I'm outraged as to what that guy did. If he wasn't up to the job, he should have quit or moved to a desk job and let someone else guard the kids.
To properly craft a law, it is important to know the terminology and "hair splitting" gun details, otherwise you just get lumped into those who want to ban everything.
There can be no middle ground or compromise until you learn the terminology and understand that most of the gun control proposals over reach or don't actually achieve what they propose.
For example, banning 10 round magazines may sound reasonable and is often said with we don't want your guns. What about out of production guns for which no 10 round magazines exist? Banning over 10 round magazines for those guns effectively ban those guns. As they are out of production, there likely won't be any new 10 round magazines designed as the cost would be prohibitive.
