Rumor control...

(1.) They weren't Neo-Nazis or KKK types; their victims were of many races and religious backgrounds. There's no real pattern in their killings. They were nihilists, not ideologues.
(2.) No, they were not bullied. Or at least, if they were bullied, they were sure doing a lot of bullying themselves, which makes them hypocrites even if bullying was their motive (which it surely wasn't).
(3.) I don't think anyone at Columbine was knifed. Only shot.

Navegar, Inc. (Intratec). I don't think the Columbine shooting had anything to do with it. Navegar went under because their market disappeared. They closed down in 2001, two years after Columbine, not immediately after.

Mark Manes, who sold them the TEC-9, did 6 years in prison, if I recall correctly.

Well, let's be fair here...Intratec has a bad rep with the Feds. Hi-Point doesn't, and neither did the shotgun manufacturers.

But there was a lot of media attention dedicated to Hi-Point that I recall.
