The killers were anti-religion, anti-establishment, antisocial; they sought out as victims [[Christianity|Christians]] and popular athletes. The killers were [[darwinists]]; they admired [[Charles Darwin]]'s theory of [[natural selection]]. The killers planned their attack beforehand and investigators later found descriptions in their notes about their intentions to kill. One of the murders wore a T-Shirt displaying the text "NATURAL SELECTION" on the day of the massacre.

The killers were anti-establishment, antisocial; they sought out as victims [[Christianity|Christians]] and popular athletes. The killers were extremists brandishing the idea of[[natural selection]] in a distorted manner. The killers planned their attack beforehand and investigators later found descriptions in their notes about their intentions to kill. One of the murders wore a T-Shirt displaying the text "NATURAL SELECTION" on the day of the massacre.

Politicians cited the massacre in their demands for greater [[gun control]], and congressional [[Democratic Party|Democrats]] held highly publicized hearings to pass gun control legislation. But gun control became an issue that hurt liberal Democratic presidential candidate [[Al Gore]] in 2000, causing him to lose the election by losing the traditionally Democratic state of West Virginia, where the right to bear arms is valued. Since the 2000 election there have not been any significant political demands for gun control. [[Liberal]] [[Socialism|socialist]] filmmaker [[Michael Moore]] used the incident as the backdrop for an anti-gun rights propaganda piece, ''Bowling For Columbine'', which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary.
