... just went down several notches on the credibility scale in my estimation for buying into a kook conspiracy theory.

Some take the issue too far, but one casual look at the comparison of the basics between Columbine and Sandy Hook should make any rational person pause and wonder.

Emergency medical services were not allowed into Columbine HS for over 3 hours. Somehow, medical services were in Sandy Hook Elementary treating victims within 25 minutes of the first shot... and yet Columbine had a 38% kill rate (15/39), and Sandy Hook had a 90% kill rate (26/29). Columbine had 2 shooters with multiple weapons, Sandy Hook had one shooter who used only 1 weapon. Columbine shooters took 49 minutes to complete their rampage, and Sandy Hook took exactly 5 minutes (9:35-9:40am). Columbine still stands, and Sandy Hook was literally razed to the ground within 11 months. Those are all basic facts that are backed up even on Wikipedia... and they present a stark difference in many unexpected ways, that are worth asking about.

Not really...

All of your points can easily explained by the events being 13 years apart. There is a mass shooting response time and reaction time learning curve, insider high school students at Columbine verses an outside lunatic attacking elementary students, Kill ratio is meaningless data point comparing high school students running for their lives and little children hundered down in classrooms like fish in a barrel, whether a school stands or remains is a local issue...

Connecting meaningless dots is the tactic of the left and fringe kook theorist...

Don't go there...
