The big difference is that the 24 hour news cycle didn't harp on it for weeks at a time.

a few posts ago about Sports and Art ..
the Sports brings up a item .. every kid gets a trophy now .. there is no loosing .. well we lost that teaching moment of the agony of defeat ....
baseball rules were changed so no hurt feelings .. no leading off .. no hidden ball tricks .. no chanting batter batter batter ...
some rule if you swing on the 3rd strike and some other condition .. you made it to 1st base ..
I still shake my head at what i see when i go watch my friends 12yr play ball .. huh what .. wtf kinda rule is that ..

So 16 school shootings took place before Columbine, how many in the past let's say... 20 years?? Or how about the past 10 years, or even the past year? Look, I'm not saying this shit didn't ever happen before recent times. What I'm saying is that the current generation has some serious societal issues. If you don't want to recognize it for what it is, that is your prerogative. As for the 24 hour news stations, I get that part of it. AND that in and of itself creates another problem..... it is called sensationalism, which drives the current generation to become the next "big news story"!!
You did say exactly that, but that is irrelevant now. The current generations problems were made by their parents generation (a lot of which are baby boomers from the early 60s). The parents are the ones who have allowed their behaviors to go unchecked, allowed them to behave badly without concequences and make sure everyone feels special. This is a generational problem. The baby boomers have been I charge of this country since the 80s they are the reason for the expansion of the welfare state, gun free zones, gun control, the decline in the middle class, sexual Revolution, decline of the family, abortion, and all the other social midevils that are plaguing the current generations. This cannot be rested squarely on one generation, all three baby boomers, gen X, and the current crop have their share of the blame.

Has the operating action on the shotgun been identified? Model, pump, semi?
Just saw the lying antiamerican astronaut on fox saying that there are a lot of laws that could have prevented this, "parents being required to lock up guns so their kids can't get access to them for example."
Hey Mark that is unconstitutional or do you not keep up with SCotUS decisions when you are scheming?
I though murder and assault with a deadly weapon were already illegal.
