[edit] High school

Anderson, a friend of Dylan Klebold had also attended the high school prom with Klebold on April 17, 1999 but they were not romantically involved.^[1]

[edit] Obtaining the firearms

On April 26, 1999 authorities discovered that in November 1998, shortly after her 18th birthday, Anderson made a straw purchase of a Hi-Point 995 Carbine 9 mm semi-automatic rifle, a 12 gauge Savage-Springfield 67H pump-action shotgun (Serial No. A232432) and a 12 gauge Stevens 311D double barreled shotgun (Serial No. A077513) at a Tanner gun show near Denver. These weapons were later used in the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999.^[1] On June 4, 1999, Anderson admitted buying the two shotguns and the 9mm carbine rifle from a Denver gun show. The federal and state prosecutors did not file charges against her, stating that she did not know that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were planning a shooting and that they could not determine if she purchased the firearms from a licensed dealer.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Aftermath

United States House of Representatives bill HB 1243 was dubbed the Robyn Anderson Bill since it proposed making the bestowing of firearms on minors without parental permission a crime.^{[citation needed]}
