    The author of The Columbine Legacy Rampage Shootings as Political Acts has stated numerous purposes within this article. The first purpose of it was to explain about the events of Columbine and attempt to show the reader how this has created a large impact resulting in more wide spread school shootings taking place.

    Since they are too preoccupied with ratings and statistics they cannot accurately address the cause. It is crucial to see how the media is incorrect in its assumptions. Once an individual comes to the conclusion that school shooters are not exclusively autistic, ostracized individuals, but rather normal everyday people that feel left out or want their demands to be taken seriously, it is reasonable to assume that school shootings have the possibility to occur a lot more frequently. This is because the number of potential shooters would be much greater if any normal individual could be considered a potential shooter. The causes that the media attributes to school shootings are inadequate because they assume only a very small population of people have the potential to commit school shootings. The false sense of security that the media gives the viewer is very misleading and should be…

Trey is currently in rehab for alcoholism. Erin agreed to allow Jason and Kristy take the children so that she could check herself into rehab and get better, which she did not do.

    The loss of a loved one is extremely devastating for anybody. It is even more painful when it is caused by someone's malicious actions. The Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting has definitely added fuel to the controversial gun debate. Many school districts in Texas have allowed teachers to be able to carry a gun on campus. Although they will be able to have a gun in their possession when a tragedy like the Sandy Hook shooting occurs, will they really act the way many claim they will and take down the shooter? Is the Second Amendment more important than the lives of our teachers and students? I believe that school districts are capable of protecting their schools in a safer way rather than allowing teachers to carry guns.…

    Although overall school violence is declining in America, mass shootings in suburban and rural areas are becoming more common ("School" par 1). On April 20, 1999 Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold decided to bring firearms and explosives to Columbine High School to go on a shooting rampage. These two boys, before killing themselves, killed 12 students, one teacher, and wounded 24 others. The cause of this Massacre was violence at the school place, Harris and Klebold were bullied as students and no action was taken when they started talking about killing people or physically hurting people. At the beginning of the school year teachers should give students talks about violence and school shootings. Teachers should tell students that violence is not a joke and it needs to be taken as a serious offence, whether there is going to be a fight at…

    America is widely known for having a fascination with violence and is a “gun – happy” country. However, this love for firearms has led to tragedies untold and horrifying truths about the mental state of individuals as revealed in the Columbine School shooting incident. Major and minor causes collectively led up to this event and bring up the question of whether or not this tragedy could have been prevented. The NRA play a key part in the debate over gun control, and parents play a vital role in instilling future generations with respect for handguns and being involved in their lives. Though there is room to consider a grey area guns continue to be the instruments used to sow sorrow resulting…

    Every year that passes there is yet another tragic story of how a beloved child has fallen victim to a school shooting. These horror stories many times have no explanation as to why the school shooting has occurred, leaving us in shellshock. Since the columbine shooting on April 20th, 1999 when thirteen people lost their lives, some due to religious belief, there have been thirty-one school shootings. This is a staggering number of shootings that have resulted in a death toll of 162 victims – not including the Oklahoma City bombing. Thompson tell us that the “school system is trying to prevent school shootings but what they are doing is simply not enough. School shootings have become more deadly and the effort of the schools seems to not have any effect.” (Thompson par. 7) In fact, most people have no idea exactly what the school system is doing to try and stop these school shootings. If the people don’t know what is being done, than there is a good chance that the school system is doing very little to nothing at all.…
