Klebold and Harris broke the National Firearms Act 97 times. They built 2 Short Barreled Shotguns in their bedrooms. The penalty for a single unregistered SBS is 10 years in federal prison and $250,000 fine. Then they build 95 propane and pipe bombs are various sizes. Unregistered possession of Destructive Devices is also a NFA violation and subject to the same penalty.
So those 2 jokers broke enough laws to put them each in jail for 970 years and almost $2.5 million in fines. This is BEFORE they even fired a single shot at anyone.
Sure.... more laws will stop this kind of thing from happening. /sarcasm
Actually the amount they could have been fined is almost $25 million, miscalculated.
Obviously they don't have reason to respect authority. I wonder why.
Student: I disagree..I won't do it.
Educrat: You will obey!
Student: Why?
Educrat: Or else you will be punished!
(After many years of verbal abuse and being locked in a sunless room on Saturday afternoons the student morphs into a Jackal, his inner darkness snuffs out his compassion with a weezing sound.)
(The student thinks to himself: If I kill the authority I can't be punished! Then I can do whatever I please! )
(Jackal pulls out deadly arsenal, points, and fires at his classmates and teachers)
Jackal: Do you believe in God!!!!
(Shortly thereafter an educrat from another school/prison meets his supervisor at the bridge)
Educrat #2: Sir, our defenses are wanning, the children are turning violent.
Supervisor: Damn those violence- loving punks! We will need to resort to drastic measures. Install metal detectors at the front entrances of all facilities, patrol the hallways with attack hounds, outlaw deadly weapons, and suspend those little bastards if there is any indication of unruliness.
Educrat #2: Yes sir!!
Reasonable Parent: hmm I think i'll take the day off from work today and bring the kids to the historical art museum. (Looks at morning paper) Oh look! The warfare in antiquity display has arrived!
Reasonable Willy: Look Pa! That big army is attacking all those naked people...that's not fair!
I Wonder Why: ACT II
Reasonable Willy: Look at the next scene Pa! The big army is there but the naked people are all gone! That's not how it happened when the Normans of the ice giant kingdoms defeated the armies of the doom serpent Taimut!
Reasonable Parent: Ya see my boy, in real life people kill other people, usually little children like youself, so they can get enough money to buy more wine and kiss girls.
Reasonable Willy: Ick, I don't like violence. Let's go look at the Salvadore Dali paintings and then head over to the library.
