Give a Boy a Gun

The independent reading book I am currently reading is Give a boy a Gun  by Todd Strasser. This book is based on a true story; the book is based on the Columbine massacre. On April 20, 1999 two boys brought guns to the schools dance and basically killed everyone in sight. Once they knew there was no way out they both killed those selves. 

       The reason the two boys did this was because they always got picked on and bullied by other students. . 
  Through out the book the two kids are talking about how they would get the guns and ammo and i realized it is very easy for kids to get guns.
the two kids got most there guns and ammo at a local walmart. when I found out that they got there wepons at walmart . I did some research and most walmarts sell guns and ammo. also if you go to gun shows they sometimes sell guns to people without a gun license, all you need is a vaild id. walmart excuse for selling guns is that it is made for hunting and they cant control what people do with it. I think walmart should be more careful  to who they sell guns to because this isnt the only time people killed others with guns bought at walmart.  
  This book is very interesting and very sad. If you are an emotional person then this would be a horrible book for you but if you like learning about tragedies in the past then you will love this book.

Give a Boy a Gun

The independent  reading book I am currently reading is Give a boy a Gun  by Todd Strasser. This book is based on a true story, the book is based on the columbine massacre. On april 20 1999 2 boys brought guns to the schools dance and basically killed everyone in sight. once they knew there was no way out they both killed them selves. 

       The reason the two boys did this was because they always got picked on and bullied by other students. Right now I am currently in the middle of the book but i've done some research on the massacre and one of the girls they killed was there only friend, the girls named was Rachael Scott, her funeral was the largest watched televised funeral in the world. I thought it was shocking that kids would go this far just because they got bulied. While reading the book I realized how hurt kids can get while being bulied even if its a little joke you never know how kids will react. This book is very intersting and very sad. If you are a emotional person then this would be a horrible book for you but if you like learning about tragedies  in the past then you will love this book.
