Obviously this would help immensely, but this wasn't happening in the 90s when kids would bring guns to school for show and tell. Whatever changed, the better solution is to reverse that. What do you think?


How do you reverse the Columbine massacre?


Obviously I'm talking about reversing shootings, that's not possible. I'm talking about the culture that's developed, that has led to more angry kids. Angry enough to shoot their classmates. Wouldn't reversing that culture be the ultimate solution? Banning guns only delays the symptoms of this anger.


I don’t think anyone will argue against doing both. Okay now break the modern American culture. Something something loneliness epidemic.


I must point out that Columbine was in 1999 - almost exactly midway through the 1994 "assault weapons ban".


Every shooting creates more terrified people wanting more security.
