Way to make the thread political in literally one post.
This is one of the most pointless efforts to derail a thread into political napalm strikes I've seen in a while.The government latches onto another criminal event to try to take away our 2nd Amendment rights.
What if the Columbine massacre in 1999 doesnt happen? Either Dylan and Eric dont go to school that day, or they get found out right before the incident goes down or any other possibility.
No real difference. School shootings were already a significant issue. Things didn't change. They didn't change after much worse shootings at Virginia Tech and in Connecticut recently.
Did schools in the eighties and nineties have security guards at most entrances and some indoor areas?
I'm not being a smartass, I'm being completely serious, I have no idea.
Yeah, that's what I was suggesting. My High School had a crapload of security guards, and many of them weren't even stationed at the doors, and horror stories about zero tolerance policies continue, although I brought a ton of Lego guns to class during Junior High and never got into any trouble myselfNot at the same level as they did after Columbine. Back in the mid-90's there seemed to be a school shooting every year. The difference with Columbine was that it was two gunmen, and the large number of victims. My high school had very little security when I went there, but when my younger sister was in school after Columbine happened they put new locks on the doors and hired more security. That was also when schools went with the "zero tolerance" policy and kids were getting suspended for the mere suggestion of violence like pretending a folded piece of paper, or their finger was a gun and pointing it at other kids.
So without Columbine we probably get more small time school shootings until a really big one occurs on the level of a Columbine or Virginia Tech, at which point we get the reaction by the media, government, and school systems that happened in the OTL.
Had a search warrant been issued, it is likely that their stash of weapons and pipe bombs may have been found resulting in the arrest of the Columbine killers prior to the massacre.As Harris had posted on his website that he possessed explosives, Guerra wrote a draft affidavit, requesting a search warrant of the Harris household. He never filed it
