April 20, 1999. I remember it like it was yesterday. My oldest son had graduated high school two years before and my youngest son was a senior. I couldn't wait for the year to be over.
It only took one shooting to pass an assault weapon ban. The weapons are always the same. There is no guess work. As many bullets as can be carried in a clip and as fast as they can be released to kill, injure and maim children.
To the left is the Intratec TEC-DC 9, Klebold's weapon of choice. It doesn't matter the species of gun, it is always the same, bullets come streaming out of the muzzle and in seconds high school students are dead.
George Walker Bush, "W," let the assault weapon ban sundown when it simply needed review and updating. Ever since that day, the gun sales in the USA are paid for with the blood of American children.
The gun lobby claims it is their right to carry in any way they want. Well, it is the high school students right to make it to graduation without fear of zealot White Supremacists entering history for the most students killed in American history.
These lives are more precious than a gun activists right to have any kind of gun under the sun!
By the way, it is ludicrous to argue about the number of school killings since the beginning of 2018. What is wrong everyone? Isn't one enough anymore?

“This could be a breaking point,” said Whitney Bowen, 16, an organizer of the D.C. protest. “We’re still just 16, but at least we’re old enough to have our voices be heard.”...
