Buyers are saying they fear the new wave of legislation and want to make sure they have their guns before their access becomes more limited. Many fear an outright ban on guns eventually. Many of the teenagers who attended Columbine have spoken publicly about their beliefs regarding what causes individuals to turn violent. Their anecdotal evidence suggests they don't support the various theories such as gun control and restricting violent forms of entertainment. Newspaper accounts have indicated that not only Columbine but also other high schools in general have discipline problems.
Students report being physically as well as mentally tormented in the hallways.
While I maintain that many students are treated poorly in schools across the country, only an infinitesimal amount turn extremely violent. Be that as it may, students should be given the opportunity to learn in an environment that is as least disruptive as possible. Teachers claim they are either afraid to punish the offenders or there simply is not enough adult supervision available. Perhaps increased adult supervision in the hallways would provide an incentive to the troublemakers to tone it down. The adult would not be required to physically stop such an action, simply providing an eye witness account to the action may deter it.
