    I know it’s not the first, I never claimed it was. But as someone who is old enough to remember what life was like before Columbine, that was the one that changed everything. That’s when we started having active shooter drills.

    Then 9/11 just amplified it.

      It’s that I’ve been in schools with after school activities in the last year.

      Kids were popping chip bags and nobody drew weapons or jumped because of a loud pop that sounds nothing like a normal gunshot.

      I was in school before columbine ever happened.

      I don’t think violence in is ok in most situations. I think America has a mental health and gun issue.

      I like the Capri Sun mylar things from a nostalgic perspective.
