Bowling for Columbine

:22:01
- We're south of Denver,
in a community called Littleton,

:22:04
and this house is pretty much
:22:06
your average middle-class
suburban home.

:22:09
The burglar or the rapist
is still here

:22:11
in the neighbourhood somewhere.
:22:13
And so citizens
sometimes think that...

:22:16
I have people tell me
all the time--

:22:18
- Where exactly is the burglar
or rapist right now?

:22:21
If I was to try and stab you
through this, right here,

:22:24
you're gonna have to be
really close. Right?

:22:27
- And here's the bottom line
on this.

:22:29
- What if I had a spear?
:22:30
- Now, downstairs is where
the safe-room was constructed,

:22:34
and this is a solid-core door,
a very heavy door.

:22:37
And now, the criminal
has to break through this door,

:22:40
so you've created
another barrier.

:22:42
- An axe would do it.
- An axe would do it.

:22:45
I think that Columbine
did a couple of things.

:22:48
One is that it changed how
we talk. That's the first thing.

:22:52
- How's that?
- Well, for instance,

:22:54
if I say "Columbine,"
everybody knows what it means.

:22:57
I don't have to explain to you
that Columbine...

:23:03
- Is... What's wrong?
- Nothing, I just...

:23:06
- What's wrong?
- I-- I just...

:23:08
sometimes Columbine bothers me.
I'll be fine. Just a minute.

:23:12
- That's okay, that's okay.
- Um...

:23:18
There...
there's something, um...

:23:23
something overwhelming about
that kind of... viciousness,

:23:29
that kind of predatory action,
that kind of indiscriminate, uh,

:23:36
killing.
:23:40
World's Largest Weapons Maker
:23:43
- This facility,
where we're located right now...

:23:45
Evan McCollum
Lockheed Martin Public Relations

:23:48
and two other major facilities
where our employees work

:23:50
are either in
or very near Littleton.

:23:52
So we have over 5,000 employees
at these facilities,

:23:56
quite a number of whom
live in Littleton,

:23:59
many of whom have children who
attend Columbine High School.
