Second Amendment ain't never goin away.
Gun control laws aren't effective, look at that island, Chicago. Ignore Hawaii.
The liberals will never get our guns!
If the good guys at Columbine had guns, this never would have happened. Never mind the facts.
Kids just need to toughen up and accept that they could get shot while trying to study math in their classroom.

Personally, I'm just so glad that I'm not American and that my kids are not being raised in the US.

Guns are too easy for all the immature, stupid, violently radical and feeble minded to get, and it's all due to a greedy hysteria-inducing loudmouth who spouts off that Rubbish Limberger crap like a kid and who hijacked the NRA and turned it into a terror organization. Pres. George H W Bush was smart to quit his lifetime membership in this band of thugs after the OKC bombing of 1995.

Im definitely proud to be an American and proud of our second amendment and even though I split my times between Japan and the States, nothing beats home, having said that, Columbine was a horrible tragedy, but to shift the focus only on guns when you have various kinds of tragedies involving different acts to perpetrate them, all are bad, none good. The only thing we can do is always be careful and be vigilant because you may not be looking for trouble, but trouble might be looking for you.

Lockdown today in 20 schools. Make America great. Again.

Fair enough. To each his own. For me nothing beats canada

Okay.
Does your daughter go to school in Japan where there is no worry about school shootings?
Sure, that's the only thing we can do. It's not like we could reaquore reasonable training before you purchase a firearm or a mental health evaluation or ban assault weapons. Those things are impossible!

Why did you ignore the known facts about the Columbine BOMBERS? According to wiki:
In addition to the firearms, the complex and highly planned attack involved several improvised explosive devices. Using instructions obtained via the Internet and the Anarchist Cookbook, (these monsters) constructed a total of 99 bombs.
These included pipe bombs, carbon dioxide cartridges filled with gunpowder (called "crickets"), Molotov cocktails, propane tanks converted to bombs, car bombs, and diversionary bombs. For ignition, they used kitchen matches and model rocket igniters as well as timing devices built from clocks and batteries for the propane, car, and diversion bombs. During the massacre, they carried lighters as well as match strikers taped to their forearms to light the pipe bombs and crickets. They had 45 crickets, 8 of which detonated, and 9 Molotov cocktails, 2 of which functioned.
(One of the monsters) also attempted to make napalm, and envisioned a kind of backpack and flamethrower.
