There are probably about 150 million law-abiding American citizens who enjoy watching football. Myself included. The idea that this incident can somehow be blamed on football is sadly mistaken. These were two sick, disturbed boys. Like many people I know, I also happen to own several hunting rifles and a handgun I keep in my home for personal protection. Is it locked? No, but itâs hidden. If I ever have to defend my home against someone trying to break in, the time it takes me to unlock a gun might just be the difference between the life and death of my children.
The Second Amendment to the Constitution gives us the right to bear arms. Are you going to change the Constitution? Why stop at the Second Amendment? Why not throw out the First Amendment, too? Who needs freedom of speech? Hey, who needs theright to vote? See where this is going?

A gun kept in the home is forty-three times more likely to kill someone you know than to kill a stranger in self-defense . (Lethal Passage)
Itâs horrible when kids are killed in schools. Itâs a nightmare. Obviously, after what happened, I should know. But if you want to save kidsâ lives, youâll save a lot more by raising the driving age than banning guns.

It still seems strange to me that I was nobody until Dustin asked me out. Iâd be in the girlsâ room with Deirdre Bunson and some of those other girls, and it was like I didnât even exist. I wasnât on their radar. At my old school youâd say hi to someone even if you didnât know them. Here you say hi and itâs like, âDo I know you?â

Iâm sure youâve heard about that fight at Dustinâs house. If you want to know the truth, up to that point, that was one of the scariest things Iâd ever seen. The thing is I always knew [Sam] Flach was mean and strong, but this was just beyond anything you could have imagined.
âRyan Clancy
I still donât understand why Brendan wanted to go to that party. I mean, he must have feltthat Dustin was his neighbor and sort of his friend, but Dustin was on the football team, and everyone knew it was a football party. Some people say Brendan was just asking for it. I donât know. I think it was more like Rosa Parks. He was tired of sitting in the back of the bus.
