Columbine Craziness and Madness, 10 Years Later.

Anniversary of the Columbine Shootings (April 20, 1999):

I am truly saddened by the anniversary of the Columbine shootings. When I first heard about it I was a college senior and I saw it on the cover of the Detroit Free Press (back when people still read newspapers). I had to put my shock aside and go to class.
I'm not sure what our country had done since then to decrease gun violence and make guns less prevalent. I'm sure that Bill Clinton helped. My dad, Jeff, said, "all they've done since then is lift the ban on assault weapons." By "they" he meant the United STates. He is always saying quotes like that.
The Virginia Tech shootings in 2007 and also the shootings in Germany in Sept. 2008 (when I googled this, 2 school shootings in Germany came up from the past year, showing how common gun violence is) show that more work needs to be done. I feel there are still far too many guns in our society.
Yes, I am a teeny bit sick of the 24-hour news coverage on CNN and some of the other stations. But on the anniversary of the Columbine attacks, I am saddened, angered and thinking about what I remember from April 20, 1999. If you can (or if you pray), pray for the victims and their families. If not, maybe you can memorialize in some other way.
Everyone's entitled to my opinion ( I have this on a small sign in my room!),
