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.....

Wow, I knew our politics differed, L, but... armed teachers? Yikes.

No, the NRA had nothing to do with Columbine. So why did they stage the pro-gun rally there in the first place? Purposefully after children died at gunpoint? Families were grieving. It was as timely and considerate as Phelps and his protesters at funerals. People like guns and want to own them - I get it. But was that really and truly appropriate? Respectful? Not in my opinion.
