".... the gunman's father, Ian Mercer, revealed he had no idea his son had any guns whatsoever and wondered how his son was able to obtain so many.

'Look all over the world, you don't see these kinds of mass shootings all over the world like you do in the United States,' he said during an interview with CNN.

'So someone has to ask the question, "How is it so easy to get all these guns?" Thirteen guns? I've never held a gun in my life - and I don't want to.'

'How are you able to compile that kind of arsenal?'

'It has to change, how can it not? Even people who believe in the right to bear arms, what right do you have to take people's lives?'

'That's what guns are, they're killers. What do you want a gun for?' ...... Source

EXCLUSIVE: Mom of Oregon mass killer stockpiled firearms out of fear of stricter gun laws

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.

“Even people who believe in the right to bear arms, what right do you have to take people’s lives? That’s what guns are, they’re killers. What do you want a gun for?”

Lousy stinking FASCIST!

“Guns are killers”!!? That’s the gungrabber mentality boiled down. Meanwhile you clueless Brit, go back to Old Blighty where your Muslim masters wait!

What I read was, “I bear no responsibility for this. My son bears no responsibility for this. It was the guns. It’s society’s fault for making it easy to get guns.”

If I were a college student today I would conceal carry regardless of the school’s policy.

This week I went into the doctor’s office in a hospital building. It is, of course, a gun free zone. Thinking about the latest incident and the Lubby’s incident in Texas, I decided to carry. Everything was fine until the nurse said, “step up on the scale.” Then she said, “Oh, you’ve gained a few pounds.” (Sigh.)

Why do I get the feeling dad was absent long before his divorce in 2006?

My guns have been under a bed for 8 years and they have yet to kill anybody.

Hey Mr. Gungrabbing Liberal Moron, why do I want guns for? I want them to prevent a thug from harming my family, to prevent thugs (aka the Obama administration) from trampling on freedoms and to hunt. Not that I need to tell you WHY I need to own guns!!

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.

To protect myself from people like that son you didn’t raise.

And guns are not killers you idiot, people are. Swords were used for centuries to kill people and they were pretty damn effective.

I think I see where this kid got his mental illness from. So if I believe in the right to bare arms, I automatically want to KILL people?

What?

Isn’t the dad a British subject? If so, don’t they have mandatory military service?
