Columbine 25 years later: US lawmakers struggle to reduce gun violence decades after tragedy

91

It’s been 25 years since two senior students entered Colorado’s Columbine high school and opened fire, killing a teacher and 12 fellow students.

At that time, the kind of violence at a school was unthinkable. But Columbine wasn’t America’s first mass school shooting, nor would it be its last.

Since Columbine in 1999, there have been 400 school shootings across the U.S.

As Caryn Lieberman reports, U.S. lawmakers have struggled in the intervening years to pass stricter firearm laws and reduce gun violence.

  1. The tyrants want piles of dead kids because it furthers their agenda. If this were not the case, we wouldn't be relying on "Gun-Free Zone" signs to protect our kids. We'd have armed school officials, locked doors, metal detectors, and mental health programs all in place years ago.

  2. honestly we have less gun violence in canada. people should not be able to have guns as freely as they do in the USA. legit people will register their guns and use them properly

  3. In China ??, violent crimes are usually committed by the state, not individuals. Victims of violence are by the thousands.
    – Examples are: Tibetans in Tibet, Uyghurs in Xinjiang, Tiananmen Square, and Falun Gong.

  4. Years ago farm kids used to take their guns to school regularly, left them in the cab of their pick ups, unlocked. School shootings were unheard of. According to today's brain dead anti-gun people, those guns weren't provoked to kill. They spout 419 kids killed by guns. How many died of drug od in the same period ?? Those 419 didn't kill themselves like the users looking for the ultimate high.

  5. Al the gang shootings, all those suspects are not prosecuted by democrats. Then Dems blame the gun after they let the violent gang members out onto the streets. All orchestrated so they can try and get rid of the second amendment. Dems are obsessed with power, and they want an unarmed society. Except for themselves and the armed security they’ll always have. But the democrats do not believe you have a right to self defense.
