America has witnessed a handful of massacre shootings. The shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, is the most disturbing, since it involves little children.<\/p>\n<p>The nation has not gotten over the May 14 grocery store shooting in Buffalo, where 10 people were killed and three injured. The next day was a shooting at Geneva Presbyterian church in Laguna, Calif., where multiple people were killed and injured.<\/p>\n<p>Reading and listening to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> like this only leads to questions of how safe we are.

Most cops are courageous, but if one doesn\u2019t have the courage to go in and face an active shooter, especially in a school, he or she shouldn\u2019t be a police officer \u2014 anywhere. Risking your life is part of the job.<\/p>\n<p>There is absolutely no excuse for waiting to enter the school, even if the officer had to give his or her life.<\/p>\n<p>We may hear public-relations nonsense to excuse the police for their disgraceful delay to enter the school.

The same restriction should be in place for body armor.<\/p>\n<p>How can politicians in Washington, who are sworn to pass laws in the best interest of Americans, lean on the Second Amendment every time assault weapons are discussed in Congress?<\/p>\n<p>They know in their hearts that these were not the kind of weapons the Founding Fathers had in mind when they agreed to give American citizens the right to bear arms.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this week I lowered the flag on my flagpole \u2014 again.
