“Still living at home.”

Medved would approve.

Excellent graphic!

All that's lacking is a panel where King Obama and celebrities jump on the dead bodies and try to scare people into supporting their anti-gun agenda.

The guns were NOT obtained legally.

In this country, it is illegal for people with mental disorders to possess firearms. An admitted homosexual obviously has a serious mental disorder.

I was just counting my weapons and discovered I have a cache. Luckily a gunshow is coming near me next month so I can turn it into an arsenal. Now my ammunition may classify as a dump.

Who cares?
You can only shoot one of the darn things at time. (Well, I have seen some guys put on credible performances with two pistols, but that only lasts until it is time to reload.)

Guns don’t kill people. Nutballs in Victim Disarmament Zones kill people.

Had the college been an open carry campus this killing spree could have been averted.

Thirteen guns ain’t a ‘cache’. More like a starter set.

Charles Whitman was an early crazed mass shooter in 1966.

I grew up in Austin and lived only a few blocks from the UT Tower at the time of the shooting. I will always remember how we could hear the shots from our yard until my mother made us come in the house.

Several civilians in the area got their rifles and returned fire to Whitman, allowing the two officers to get to the top of the tower and take him out.

And there is the rub, if they were purchased legal what’s a fascist to do? The only solution that would work would be outright confiscation of all guns and then you would have a black market and criminals with the guns and it would take centuries for most guns to be removed from public access and still there would be criminals with them. However, a good tyrant can use these tragedies to get registration and restrictions on law abiding citizens so they can eventually go for confiscation.

Anything to take the focus off the fact that the Christian-hating killer committed this act in a state (OR) that is increasingly anti-Christian. That's the real story here, IMO.

This is the crux of the matter. When the only mental disorder precluding gun ownership is patriotism only the deranged will own guns.

How did he get the money? No mention of his job. Was he being subsidized by the government and getting disability checks?

That’s a very usual gun collection for the area.

The kids in that town come from a hunting background. They know the sound of a gun, or so said, one man whose daughter was at the school at the time.
