The father of one of the victims of Columbine later wrote the following poem:
"Your laws ignore our deepest needs
Your words are empty air
You’ve stripped away our heritage
You’ve outlawed simple prayer
Now gunshots fill our classrooms
And precious children die
You seek for answers everywhere
And ask the question 'Why'?
You regulate restrictive laws
Through legislative creed
And yet you fail to understand
That God is what we need"

I heard on pastor say the following:

"You may not like guns, and you may not like God. But if someone is breaking into your house the first thing your going to do is call someone who has a gun. And the next thing you're going to do is pray that they get there in time!"
