15. The security that LaPierre is talking about was adequate...

There are armed guard working at the building protecting the main entrances. Internal security had already engaged the shooter by the time the police arrive, indeed one of the guards died and possibly his weapon was taken.

It didn't help (not that much).

The problem was how the shooter obtained security clearance in the first place and was able to launch the attack from the inside, but that doesn't further NRA talking points that if there were more guns in the workplace everything would have been ok.
