Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Give a Boy a Gun is a Young Adult novel by Todd Strasser published in 2002. It is about a pair of High School outcasts, Brendan Lawlor and Gary Searle, who decide to shoot up their High-School Dance as a way of getting revenge on the jocks who had picked on them and the faculty members who had ignored their plight or even encouraged the school's culture of bullying. The book is told in interviews with the killers' family, friends, classmates, teachers and neighbors, and explores the myriad causes of school violence.Comes down very firmly on the "anti-gun" side of American Gun Politics. The very first page declares that a portion of all proceeds from each book sold is being donated to the Million Mom March Foundation. | |

Break the Haughty: The boys' main intent was to scare the people at the dance — it's debatable whether they were actually trying to kill anyone. They also blow off a Jerk Jock's kneecaps so that he can never play football again. | |

Jerk Jock | |
Give a Boy a Gun / int_863fac26 | comment |
Jerk Jock: Sam Flach and the rest of the football team are portrayed as this. The book is fair enough to let them and the other popular kids present their side of the story... and when they do so, they only come off as jerkasses with a sense of entitlement. | |

Give a Boy a Gun / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Sam Flach. He regularly harasses other kids and his inflated sense of self-importance is just sickening. And later, he gets kneecapped for being such a giant dick. | |
