From NEVER AGAIN to "Oh, Wel"l: Columbine - 15 years later

After Columbine there was a general sense that something had to be done. That kids getting killed at school was a thing we weren't going to be okay with. "Never again," as they say.
It wasn't some fanciful impossibility. The British did it after Dunblane. And so we did that. Everyone got together and passed sweeping gun control legislation and there was never another mass shooting in America.
Except not really. Because the "never again" response—though shared by many—was not shared by all.
