To some extent Carl, however it seems pretty clear to me that if (for example) Harris and Klebold turned up at the school with a baseball bat or a knife they might have hurt someone but would have ultimately got the living daylights kicked out of them. The fact they had firearms was what allowed them to kill so many people and prevented others from restraining them. So sure, if they had baseball bats they could have smashed a couple of windows or something, not killed 12 people.
