as, re:Can you believe that after Columbine, which happened because of their lax laws on automatic weapons, they had the nerve to throw a party in Denver and snub their noses at the people of that are who were trying to recover from that traumatic tragedy? Actually, they had their annual meeting there - it was scheduled ahead of time by a year. Once again your information is wrong - the shooters did not use automatic weapons. The Hi-Point carried by Eric even had a ban approved 10 round magazine. The 12 gauge is not unlike the one John Kerry (hunter extraordinare) carried for his photo ops. What they carried: Dylan -- Intratec TEC-DC-9 (9-mm semi-automatic handgun) attached to a strap slung over his shoulder (under coat), Stevens 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun (barrel sawed down to approximately 23 inches, initially half-hidden in Dylan's cargos). Eric -- 10-shot Hi-Point model 995 carbine rifle on a strap (under coat), Savage-Springfield 12-gauge pump shotgun he called 'Arlene' (named after a Doom character - initially in one of the duffels carried to the top of the grassy knoll -- stock and barrel sawed off, reducing the entire gun to 26 inches). The sawed-off weapons were so short that firing repeatedly from them caused their hands to bleed on the practice range initially. They apparently acclimitized to the weapons over the months preceding the shootings. Both gunmen also carried several knives, but they did not use them on April 20. The shooters named their pipe bombs. Four bombs are mentioned on Eric's website, along with their specs. 'Vengeance' (pictured at bottom) and 'Atlanta' were found at the Klebold residence when police searched it. columbine.free2host.net
