But wouldn't you consider this the same kind of sentiment that can lead right back to Columbine? "It's okay to fight back, but this time, i'll use a 9 mm."

I can completely understand wanting justice and and emotional vindication from the victims' side, but there has to be a different way. In some ways, just going to the system, getting help and watching your victimizer be ripped apart and torn down by the system can be vindication enough, I've seen it happen. It's a much more sinister, emotionally satisfying victory.
