Excuse me Mr. Liberal, but your son at 23/24 was living with your ex, didn’t you tell him to get his own place that he should be a man and get a girlfriend (one of the things that came out was that he couldn’t find a girlfriend. I wonder why girls wouldn’t go out with the loser who lives
his mom.)

Isn’t the “father” from Britain or Ireland?

If he doesn’t like our Second Amendment, he should go back where he came from.

Maybe if he stayed married to his son’s mother or put the kid with mental problems in an institution, this could have been avoided.

“I’m not trying to say that’s to blame for what happened but if Chris had not been able to get a hold of 13 guns, it wouldn’t have happened.”

No, actually, that is exactly what he is saying.

No wonder the kid was screwed up. His foreign “father” is an utter and complete assho**.

“...you don’t see these kinds of mass shootings all over the world like you do in the United States...”

Beslan, Russia.....Paris, France.....Norway....Scotland....Quebec....Australia.....TheMiddle East, etc.

Thirteen guns is nothing, by the way.

“Even people who believe in the right to bear arms, what right do you have to take people’s lives?”

Idiot. 100 million+ gun owners have never taken anyone’s life, unlike your scumbag mulatto son. Don’t blame 100 million + Americans for your complete and abject failure as a father.

Prediction!

Eventually, Warren Wilhelm’s son (aka Bill de Blasio) will go postal, too, at some point in his life.

Don't worry about your rights, with your attitude, by the time you decide you need a gun, kiss your ass goodbye, because your soul is going to meet God.

Some of us don't own guns but that doesn't stop us from supporting those that do. Lay off.

Everything was fine until the nurse said, “step up on the scale.”

Every FReeper knows and understands that one's tare weight includes a minimum of 36.22 oz. of armament.

Excuse me Mr. Dumbass Liberal, Guns kill people? Really? My guns are in a gunsafe and they never kill anyone (they do kill things like deer, bear, elk, but never humans, yet). Would you call for the banning of 1968 Oldsmobiles, because it killed more people than any of my guns.

If you're an immigrant and you hate our RIGHT TO CARRY WEAPONS, please leave and don't let the door hit you where your brains are on the way out...

There are reasons the left wing mediots are avoiding his African American aka black mother. She was a gun buyer and probably bought most of the guns her son with Asperger’s disease used to kill people. She armed and trained her mentally ill son. People with Asperger’s are like ticking bombs that can go off at any time. A sane person doesn’t buy arms and train these dangerous mentally ill people.

Since she is black, that destroys the mediots mantra of evil white killers.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/exclusive-mom-ore-shooter-stockpiled-guns-article-1.2384460

The mother of the Oregon mass murderer stockpiled firearms because she feared stricter gun laws — and shopped around for a shooting range that would let her and her son fire away without supervision, the Daily News has learned.
Laurel Harper, a nurse who shared an apartment with her son Chris Harper Mercer, spoke openly about her love of guns, said the mother of one of her patients.

“She said she had multiple guns and believed wholeheartedly in the Second Amendment and wanted to get all the guns she could before someone outlawed them,” Shelly Steele, who hired Harper to provide care for her sickly teenage son, told The News in an exclusive interview Saturday.

“My husband is an avid hunter and former military, so she would talk to him about it all the time, how she liked to take her son shooting,” Steele said.

Harper told Steele she tried a shooting range close to the Umpqua Community College campus but didn’t like it “because it wasn’t very private.”

“You needed to have a range master with you, and she didn’t like anyone watching,” said Steele, who lives in Winston, Oregon.

“She wanted more privacy.”

Harper found a better match in a gun club in Myrtle Creek, Steele said.

“He liked to do it with her,” she said, referring to Chris.
“She told my husband she just purchased some new guns a few weeks ago and took him shooting.

I thought the whole situation was very strange. If you
know your son has mental health issues, do you encourage a fascination with guns?

Steele spoke out two days after Harper’s heavily-armed son murdered eight students and their instructor before fatally shooting himself.

Steele said Harper told her that Chris was “sickly” as a child, had “mental problems” growing up and suffered from Asperger’s.

“One of the reasons she moved up to Oregon was to get away from California and give him more space and peace and quiet,” she said.”

“Father reminds me of English puke, Piss Morgan.”

Yes. He is another typical low T non alpha Brit male. People like him have made a once proud country into a haven for violent people like his Asperger son.

The UK bans gun ownership so the Muslims slice off heads of innocent Brits without fear of getting sent to hell by an armed citizens.

“Mr. Harper-Mercer collected handguns and rifles, and he regularly went to a shooting range with his mother, said neighbors in Torrance, Calif., where the two lived until moving to Oregon in 2013.”
First why do they give this White hating bastard the dignity of being called “MR.”
But more importantly why are they not questioning this woman?? My mommy didn’t go with me to the shooting range until I was 23 years old!! What is going on here? Where is the media? We are not getting the real story or details. This is the first picture I have seen and it proves clearly he was not a “WHITE SUPREMACIST” !!

‘That’s what guns are, they’re killers’ Well my gun saved me from a mentally deranged hammer in my garage. The hammer jump up of my work bench and tried to kill me. Lucky thing I was packin the .45 that day and dispatched it in three rounds. I’m keeping my eye on that rack and shovel as they are starting to act up a little too.

Wouldn’t do to show the killer’s mother is Black. Would ‘kill’ the angry White male narrative.

I’ve never owned or even held a gun either . . . but I have read The Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights, and more specifically, the Second Amendment

And as far as owning all these guns . . .how many could he shoot at a time anyway?
