The guns used At the Columbine shooting?


Were the guns used in the Columbine shooting legally possessed by the shooters? Were they legal or illegal?
If they were illegal, then no gun control would have prevented it.
Similarly, the guns used in the Virginia tech shooting, did the guy purchase them legally?

Seung-Hui Cho bought his legally, despite the fact that he shouldn't have been allowed to. He had been declared a danger to himself in court and so he was excluded from being allowed to buy guns. The state didnt tell the NCIS that though, and the proper background checks werent done.

In Columbine those guns were originally bought legally but then sold on illegally. I believe they bought them off friends who had bought them from the original owners. Two people went to prison for selling guns to minors in that case.

True in the case of Columbine, they were illegal and no laws would have prevented it. I believe, no laws would have prevented VT either. If someone is bent on committing a crime with a gun, they will find a way to get one, laws or no laws. Laws only prevent law abiding people from breaking the law. Criminals will break the law regardless, it by definition, makes them criminals.

The weapons used at Columbine were illegal, with Virginia Tech it was legal.
