I know I am not a regular poster here, but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me find an article/evidence that one of the shooters for the Columbine massacre had previously contacted his state representative advocating for harsher gun laws. I would really appreciate it. Thank you and viva la Ron Paul.

They had just spent five days visiting the Arizona campus where the teen-ager planned to enroll in the fall, and recently discussed their shared opposition to a bill in the state legislature that would have made it easier to carry concealed weapons.


Might also find this interesting:

So why did the killer pick the Cinemark theater? You might think that it was the one closest to the killer’s apartment. Or, that it was the one with the largest audience.

Yet, neither explanation is right. Instead, out of all the movie theaters within 20 minutes of his apartment showing the new Batman movie that night, it was the only one where guns were banned.


Also this related to Columbine:


Few appreciate that Dylan Klebold, one of the two Columbine killers, was following Colorado legislation that would have let citizens carry a concealed handgun. Presumably, he feared being stopped during his attack by someone with a weapon. In fact, the Columbine attack occurred the very day that final passage was scheduled.

No, it came from the Fox News article, got my copy and pastes all up in a lather.

So basically it only indicates he shared opposition to the bill with his Father. Maybe I was wrong to think there was more to it?
