It’s a monumental moment that has given some survivors hope for change, nearly 12 years after 26 first graders and educators were killed in the shooting.

At one point in the 1930s the Sears catalog would send a full auto Tommy Gun straight to your house via mail order with no background check. And yet in those eras the idea of a grand spectacle suicide/homicide event would have been absolutely unthinkable, even among the most disposessed in society.
Are you serious? There are “icons” from that era known for their violence and “spectacle”.
Bonnie & Clyde;
Baby face Nelson;
Al Capone;
John Dillenger;
Machine Gun Kelly (before his singing career)
FFS - MACHINE GUN KELLY!
