Why? I've never understood that. The NRA had absolutely nothing to do with Columbine and staying away based on that would in some way admit some form of culpability on behlaf of the NRA and legal gun owners. Unless I am remembering incorrectly, the weapons were acquired illegally.

I suppose this isn't really the place to rehash that kind of stuff....or maybe it is. There are arguments that a well trained armed teacher could have stopped much of the bloodshed. I suppose I've continued the opening of the pandora's box of the subject.....
