Passing tougher laws to help prevent gun violence remains a high priority for President Obama, the White House said Thursday after reports of a mass shooting resulting in multiple casualties.
“The issue of sensible steps that can be taken to protect our communities from gun violence continues to be a top priority of this administration,” press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.
Up to 10 people were killed at shooting at a community college in Oregon, according to reports.
Obama was briefed on the shooting by homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco and will receive updates throughout the day, according to a White House official.
Earnest said the “vast majority of Americans” support stricter gun laws, including closing the so-called gun-show loophole. But he said Obama is “realistic” about the dim prospects of congressional action on gun control.

And in other news, the sun will rise tomorrow, ice is cold and fire is hot.
Boner and Mitch will go along with it. They dont have 67 votes.
Wow! that didn’t take long..
Who won the wagering on that one?
Asking someone’s religion before shooting is a jihadi practice.
During the Kenya mall massacre they made sure someone was a Muslim by asking for the name of Profit Muhammad’s mother.
It’s “Amina bint Wahb” if you are ever in that situation.
They already have. Just not in the way we would like.
The ISLAMIC TERRORIST shooter told students to “Stand up and state your religion”.....
HEY BARACK, WOULD YOU MIND FOCUSING ON ISLAMIC TERRORISTS and the MENTALLY ILL?!?!?!
The community college is a gun-free campus.
“Possession, use, or threatened use of firearms (including but not limited to BB guns, air guns, water pistols, and paint guns) ammunition, explosives, dangerous chemicals, or any other objects as weapons on college property, except as expressly authorized by law or college regulations, is prohibited,” the college’s security policy states.

One more example of gun control in action.
The first body hadn’t hit the ground before this press release was on the wire.
For law abiding citizens of course.
Gun control laws give criminals and terrorists the peace of mind of knowing that their victims will not be armed.
Why do you think there are all these mass shootings in "gun free" zones and never at gun shows?
Well gun control sure worked at that campus. Nobody but the gunman had a gun.
Not surprised.
Another excuse to attack the 2nd Amendment.
Such a rapid response leads me to believe its a DEFCON 1 diversion tactic...
Ergo, the perp is probably a muzzie.
Liberal ghouls are gleefully dancing around the dead bodies.
“Earnest said the “vast majority of Americans” support stricter gun laws, including closing the so-called gun-show loophole. A total lie but who’s counting?
I wonder what Barky will have to say if this guy ( as I highly suspect) turns out to be a Muzzie?
“The “turnaround time” is getting shockingly fast.”
Almost like they knew it was going to happen?
Waving the old bloody shirt in record time today.
Hate to say it, but my first thought was the shooter’s name Muhammad...
NO!
