How come the assault weapons ban didn't stop the Columbine massacre in 1999?

No. Neither did the two armed guards on the school grounds.. Edit: It's common knowledge, but no one said you had any of it....

The thing that's really sad is people think an assault weapons ban would even do anything its mostly people who know nothing about firearms whats really sad is anti gunners fail to realize is that the Sandy hook shooter (refuse to use his name) could have done the same thing with a Shotgun and handguns. A shotgun at that range is much more lethal than an AR-15 and in my mine opinion if the AR-15 was wood like the mini 14 which shoots the same round instead of having black plastic parts people would not be freaking out about it that's how sad it is edit- I mean people don't like to hear truth the clinton administration DOJ under Janet Reno said by there own data the Assault weapons ban did NOTHING to lower gun violence I mean is anyone even watching the senate debates And mass killings are no more prevalent than they were 100 years ago but now the media is just fear mongering people blasting them with fear everyday like there are going to get gunned down by walking out there front door. And people need to calm down we don't punish 99.9999% of society because some whack job kills people that's not living in a free country I mean really do we blame box cutters and planes for the 9/11 attacks should we ground all air traffic for ever because its to dangerous to have planes in the air?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
