All of the line were renamed DC9 after the state/local bans. Here is an advertisement that Intratec put out in the early-1990s. You can see that they call the mini version the "TEC-DC9M":

Huh. In that case I guess I'm wrong.

Well.... on the anniversary of the Columbine shooting, I feel I must point out some things. Being that this was like yesterday for me, though I was NOT in Colorado at the time.

Other points which are probably NOT part of the 'official history':

-The Jefferson County SWAT waited hours before going in. Even when there were already reports that the gunmen were dead. I wonder. These guys have MP5s and M4s..... what are they waiting for? Just so you don't think I'm bashing them, I had a LOT of friends who were cops and SWAT team members in California, who derisively called Jefferson County SWAT, the "SQUAT" team.

-I don't know if the official reports make a big deal out of the fact that an adult, Mark Manes sold these minors, the pistol (the punk's girlfriend who was over 18 bought the shotguns at a gunshow, which she could have, but she violated the straw man purchase law). Mark Manes was the son of two former high level BRADY HANDGUN CONTROL GROUP officials.

- One of the school teachers who died could have been saved, but the SQUAT team member who cleared the room told the kids (who were applying pressure to the bleeding wound in his leg and keeping him from bleeding to death) to 'get the fuck out!". When the students told the officer that their teacher was gravely wounded and that he needed medical attention, the officer told them to 'shut the fuck up' and led them out of the building with their hands over their heads. The teacher was left alone, bleeding for about another hour until he bled to death.

- Anyone with an NRA or pro 2nd amendment bumper sticker on their car, had the car vandalized. A 'mob mentality' was flamed by the mayor of Denver. Three guys I know personally had their trucks firebombed, purely because they had NRA sticker on them.

- The NRA (with probably the worst luck ever) had their annual convention scheduled to be in Denver within days of the event. Like the headline grabbing charlatans they are, the anti gunners DEMANDED that the NRA cancel their convention (as if the NRA had anything to do with these psychos). However, none of the hotels or convention center vendors OR THE CITY of DENVER themselves would REFUND any of the money spent by the NRA. So it was a case of "Give us all your money and fuck off!" by the Mayor of Denver and his followers. The NRA had to cancel all of their social activities and just had the meeting which by their by-laws they had to have in order to vote in the officers of the organization. They still were protested by a march (led by the Denver mayor) and this protest was heavily covered by the MEDIA.

- The local office of a pro gun group was heavily vandalized, and death threats were called to the homes of pro gun activists. (What a great way to protest mindless violence, by committing more mindless violence....)

I know some of the members here are too young to even remember the event. Columbine was pivotal event which led to the newer California Assault weapon ban (the 2nd one since 1989) which screwed over California gun owners by banning anything with a single feature and detachable magazine. The Columbine attack was April 20th, with several months the new AW ban was passed and then California Governor Davis signed it on July 20th, 1999. It went into effect on Midnight December 31st 1999. So these fucktards did more than massacre completely innocent people. They were responsible for some of the most draconian changes in state guns laws in the last 25 years......

I actually remember hearing that on at least one CNN report. I think HCI (before they became the Brady Campaign) even had a statement, though I'll have to dig it up...

I've heard things about this on pro-RKBA message boards, but had no idea how valid it was.

Are you also aware that Rachel Scott's (one of the victims') dad came out in defense of the NRA, but his statement was largely ignored by the media?

My own hometown (Chapel Hill, NC) also discussed making gun laws stricter. Right now, Orange County (where Chapel Hill is located) now has laws requiring a person who wants to get a handgun purchase permit to have three people sign their permit application. This became law not long after Columbine. It's the reason I have never purchased a handgun in my home state.

But obviously, that's not as bad as CA...
