The Deputies of the Broward Sheriff's Department apparently did not do enough to mitigate the severity of the horrible events at Parkland High ten days ago. If true, this is a serious dereliction of duty that needs to be corrected in the Department's ranks. While the deputies may not have been able to save everyone's lives, they probably would have been able to save some. The deputies who did not act will have to live with that the rest of their lives.
That written, the inaction of the Broward Deputies at Parkland does not take away the need for sensible gun control reform such as banning assault weapons like the AR-15 and the increasing of the age to purchase certain weapons. The warning signs that all levels of law enforcement inexplicably ignored regarding the shooter does not take away the need for increased security at our schools or greater resources towards mental health care.
Law Enforcement needs to definitely get its act together but that does not mean there is no need for reasonable gun control reform.
