The grieving father of one of the six students shot dead by the 'virgin killer' in California on Friday, led a rousing call for a change in gun laws at a memorial today.
As Richard Martinez addressed a crowd of about 20,000 who gathered for the University of California Santa Barbara memorial, the crowd got to their feet and joined his chant of 'Not One More'.

Sorry for your loss.
When your kid makes the statements he made, you call the police, then you fly out to talk to them. The parents failed their son and those he killed.
never let a good crisis go to waste, so they say
The libs never waste an opportunity.
“Never let a good crisis go to waste”
When you use the death of your kid or spouse to advance a political agenda you loose all of my sympathy.
nut control,
We used to have that, until the libs demanded we let the mentally unstable people out of institutions and put them all on the streets. Then presto; we had a homeless problem. Then presto; we had mass shootings.
Liberal policies will continue to cause more people to die sooner.
as the article mistakenly implies.
Come on, facts don’t matter to mini-true!
In this case, the hysteria is unjustified. No one can bear the permanent pain of from losing a child at any age, but it seems doubly painful at the threshold of adulthood. Rationality in responding to the death cannot be expected from a parent in that position.
But it can be condemned from the opportunists who choose to ignore that of the seven deaths, only three were the result of firearms.
Unknown, is how many of the 13(?) injured were the result of firearms or knives or being run over by the psychopath-sociopath.
It would be as mindless to ban all BMWs and kitchen knives from campus as the result of the knee-jerk response that we all know is the heart of the Obamajerks' "never let a crisis go to waste!" disgusting mentality.
the killer mentions 3 different types of psych pills he was taking. I’m surprised he could walk.
If you’re serious about ‘not one more’ then teach your kids to use and carry - and, whatever you do, do NOT disarm either us or our kids.
The psychos and the criminals will ALWAYS find weapons of one sort or another.
Disagree. It is no different from a white parent who just lost a kid to a black shooter screaming no more death, send them all back to Africa!!! Grief is no excuse to advocate tyranny.
In his manifesto he wrote that he planned to use guns, knives, hammers, boiling water, fire and vehicles.
Boiling water and fire! How the heck are libtards gonna ban/control those?
I blame him as much as his dead kid for those deaths, not guns. Society should also.
the gun didn’t kill anyone
the crazy nut job that was under professional ‘care’ since he was 8 did. obviously, he needed to be locked up in a nuthouse.
we should bring back the nut houses
meanwhile, if CA had better gun rights, someone would have shot him before he got more then a couple
Please research your justifiable outrage more carefully.
You have a victim' father confused with the perp's.
Thank you for the correction.
Yes. He's a drama queen and an attention whore.
Gives all grieving parents a bad name.
I guess grief can make you silly..
Sorry sir no gun got up, walked to where your son was and killed him.
That was done by a human being. A sick and evil human being. That is what we must adress to stop the next son from dying...
How many of these people, nuttier than a fruitcake, throwing off danger signs, and making it obvious for months... nobody cares.
