Columbine High School massacre occurred on Tuesday, April 20, 1999. Two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shot at anybody they met, killing12 students and a teacher, as well as wounding 23 others, before committing suicide. Although their motivation for massacre was not clear because they had committed suicide, some analysts thought that isolation and bullying from their classmate and influence of violent video game and movie might make them massacre.
After this massacre, many schools declared anti-bully policy to reduce one of the causes of school violence. In addition, many schools reinforced their security such as introduction of "door numbering system" which is the systematic use of letters or numbers to identify individual entrances to a building. Although the argument which gun control should be strengthened was occurred, the argument has not reached the conclusion because it is controversial whether gun control erodes Second Amendment rights.
