It's been the biggest news story in the past few weeks. If you haven't heard about the Florida shooting, I'm guessing you actually live under a rock. But, what about this specific shooting is so frustrating? What could have and should have been done differently that day that would have more than likely saved lives?

Well, to start, several calls were made about Cruz, the gunman. Several were reported to the school and even the FBI but all eventually ended up in a pile somewhere with not much done. It's hard to take information seriously all of the time, but there was evidence he was stockpiling knives and weapons. And he was thought already to be mentally ill, possibly suicidal. Why did nobody stop and think, maybe we should check in on this more closely?

Another huge issue, and a rather large debate, is why such a young person can so easily get their hands on an automatic weapon? There are some loopholes in the gun laws. There are places where we could tighten them up without restricting access. It would just take more than a random decision to buy a gun. And coming from the girl who shot a three-position air rifle on a national level for all of high school, nobody needs any kind of automatic weapon if you can aim properly and accurately.

What stands out most in my mind, however, is the fact that a paid security guard from the school, a well-decorated officer, stood outside the building for over four minutes while people died inside and never entered the building. He's resigned now, but what does that say about the argument to arm teachers? Most people are not trained to run into a rain of fire risking their lives to save others. Even the military has months of training to accomplish this kind of goal. How would arming a teacher or more people at the school effectively change the natural flight instincts of people? Yes, when you're being attacked, most would agree to shoot back but at that point, it's too late if an automatic weapon is in the same classroom as you are.

Another lesser-known issue with the shooting was that police had both real-time and rewound footage. It was nearly impossible to locate the shooter immediately after the incident because they couldn't find him. The rewound footage had a large delay but the police did not know it was delayed from the real-time footage.

Even if all of these issues had been resolved there's no way to find out if maybe the shooting would not have happened. But, in the future, it may provide some insight into changes we need to make both as a community, a government and even in our daily discussions about changes to laws. If nothing changes, nothing will change. It's very simple.
