I don't think it is about the gun culture.
It is about the media glory that is engraved in the American society.  It's to achieve this glory kids do this things to show their anti social behavior or to get back at  'em.
Columbine and other events like this have been made into  dramas, melo dramas movies and have taken the high ratings that have matched  OPRAH;S AND LARRY KING.  And there are lot of kids out there glorifying these  episodes in movies  and televisions  to get back at the society ; sometimes kids hate how they have been treated in schools. This will go on.
But Irony is that  Americans are too arrogant to admit that  this is the part of their culture and say that it can be avoided by placing metal detectors and guards in the schools which is outright nonsense.
Gun culture assists this pehenomenon but i don't think it is the cause. It's the media glory  and media has similar impact in other aspects of life aswell ; sports , politics , celebrities and love for war in this country.
