Now we know what Broward County deputy Scot Peterson was doing while the shooter ended 17 lives. He “was seeking cover behind a concrete column leading to a stairwell". He remained outside for over 4 minutes while the carnage happened inside. Did he confront the shooter at any time? No.

So tell me again why the public doesn't need guns because the police are here to protect us.

Average deaths in a mass shooting ended by law enforcement = 14
Average deaths in a mass shooting ended by a citizen = 2.5

Citizens who hold a concealed carry license are 259 times less likely to commit a violent crime than the general population, and 7 times less likely to commit a violent crime than a police officer.
