"That being said, it sounds like the Coral Gables Police May have had rifles and the Broward officers only had pistols. If that is the case we should definitely be looking at why the difference."

In this particular case, it doesn't make any difference. My guess is that the sheriffs left their rifles in their car. The Sheriffs had pistols which is just as good as a rifle in a closed in environment such as a school. They would be engaging their targets within 100 feet, not 100 yards so it's a non issue.

That is a very important point! And it also destroys the liberal position that if there were no “assault rifles”, there’d be no more school shootings.

A school shooter with a semi-auto pistol could do just as much harm as one with a semi-auto rifle.
