you don't need a gun because the cops will protect you, but this statement we hear so often from politicians neglects to include items like this one below and that the supremes' have said that cops have no legal requirement to protect individual citizens;

As TFTP reported last month, the Uvalde shooter was able to fire off rounds outside the school building for 12 minutes, unobstructed and unchallenged by law enforcement before he entered the school and murdered children. He then entered the school where he was allowed to remain unhindered for 1 hour and 17 minutes before a tactical unit with Border Patrol showed up, disobeyed the order not to go in, and finally took him out.

Last week, a still shot from a surveillance camera inside Robb Elementary showed that Uvalde cops were well equipped to engage the shooter. At least one of the officers is seen with a bullet proof shield nearly an hour before police would enter the classroom.

They would not enter the classroom for another 58 minutes.

Angeli Gomez was one of these parents who was thrown to the ground and handcuffed, but she persisted nonetheless.

“The police were doing nothing,” said Gomez. “They [the police] were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”

Gomez would convince one of the Uvalde police officers to uncuff her and she snuck away.

“As soon as they [police] take me off the cuff I see his arm like, give me a little gateway, because I’m real little so a little gateway where I can just run.”

As heavily armed cops with AR-15s and body armor twiddled their thumbs as a mass shooter murdered children inside the school, Gomez — unarmed and wearing no body armor at all — jumped a fence and rushed into the school..........more..........
