Honoring Daniel
Welcome to the DanielMauser.com web site. This site is dedicated to the memory of Daniel Conner
Mauser. Daniel was taken from us in the tragic massacre at Columbine High School on April 20th, 1999.
This tragedy has taught us that we must keep Daniel alive in our memories. So we are celebrating the 15 wonderful
years of life he shared with us and are honoring his memory.
We believe the world must not dwell on the lives of the killers. The world must focus on the victims so that Daniel
and the others are not just statistics. Daniel was a living spirit who brought joy to the lives he touched. For
that reason we have created this web site to honor and remember Daniel.
Please use the navigation links to the left to visit the photo album and read about Daniel's
life. In this site you can also read about the things we've done in his honor--adopting a baby girl from China in 2000 (see recent photos of her), changing the gun laws in Colorado, raising funds to build a school and library in Guatemala, and more. Below you'll find some links to more recent happenings, including video of Daniel.
Share your thoughts by sending us your message directly to our guest book via our email address at safemauser@yahoo.com
We do read every guest book entry we receive and try to respond, even if briefly, but usually it takes a while and we cannot respond
to long messages. You may also contact us at our home address: 6885 West David
Ave., Littleton, CO 80128. Our phone number is unlisted to avoid media hounding and pro gun hate calls. Media requests can be sent to Tom's cell phone at 303-547-5972.

You can learn about Daniel's family here.
We thought it would be nice to bring Daniel more to life for people in a new way by placing some video of him on You Tube. Here's the link you can use to watch it:

Also posted there is a video excerpt from a speech Daniel's father made at the White House three weeks after the Columbine tragedy. It was a Mother's Day event focusing on gun violence against children:

The Columbine Memorial was completed and dedicated in September 2007. Here are some pictures of it, taken on the day of the dedication. Also included are the words we placed on the "Inner Ring of Remembce."
I am very saddened to report that eight years after the Columbine tragedy, the State Senator in the Columbine area is a gun extremist who was endorsed by an extremist gun rights group.
I’ve added new photos of Madeline, reflections on the issue of bullying, and suggestions for other parents who have lost children.

Other items on this web site:
Tom was arrested for a second time at the NRA headquarters for trespassing... Evidence photos from the Columbine tragedy... A Sad Day--the expiration of the U.S. ban on assault weapons. On September 13, 2004 the Assault Weapons Ban expired. Congress and President Bush failed to renew it... One of the most touching
events after the Columbine tragedy were the spontaneous memorials that were set up in Clement Park, next to Columbine
High. We are including 18 photos from those memorials here.
Over the past few years I've been criticized for any number of things, many based on erroneous information or assumptions. I feel compelled to respond
so that I may clearly set the record straight.
Photos of the completed library that was built in Guatemala in Daniel's memory, thanks to a Denverite who visited
there.
Tom provides a first installment of answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
Daniel's dad pays a price for his gun control activism: hate mail, as well as a wanted poster and protest at his home.
People ask about Littleton and Columbine as communities, so here are a few observations.
The successful efforts of the Columbine victims' families' to remove the Columbine High library, where
so many lives were shattered. They showed there was HOPE!
We would especially like our visitors to be aware of the following web sites and encourage you to visit them:
