Fitst off it was a semi auto weapon, second you do not need a permit or license to by said rifle in Florida and third there is no 3day wait to buy said rifle again, just a brief background check, walk out the same day. Also according to the NRA, the AR 15 is the most popular weapon for home defence. Ya didn't thik I was gonna let that slip by without doing my research did ya? Bittom line, I dony give a f**k who has what guns and why, I have friends who collect, and I have bin to shooting parties and got to shoot them, including the AR, Sig Sauer, SKS, and several hand and shot guns. Not really my thing, but a fun hang out day just the same. Its the ease at carelessness it is to get this shit.
And as for armed school guards? Did you grow up with an armed police presence in you school? I didn't. It used to be just a thing in inner city schools that had metal detectors and cops, gand related shit. Now you wanna arm suburbia now out of necessity. Remember that song by Boom Town Rats, I don't like mondays? It was based on a true story of a girl in the 70's who went to school and shot a couple kids and teacher simply cuz she didn't like mondays, shes in her 40's now n still in prison. But I used to listen to that song ( great f**kin song fyi) and think wow, crazy, it was such a haunting song, how could this happen. You couldn't write songs like that anymore, there would just be too many, and we are becoming so desensitized now by the frequency, that the only answers y'all have is to arm more people. We habe very strict laws here and mentally unstable people, we also don't have mass shootings as frequent.
