Shooter's father blames guns – not son – for massacre

In a staggering twist of logic, the father of Umpqua Community College killer Christopher Harper-Mercer is blaming guns, rather than his son, for the bloody killing spree that ended with nine innocent people dead.

In an interview with CNN, Ian Mercer claims he doesn’t blame guns, then spends much of the interview refuting that assertion. Mercer does not indicate that he believes his son was solely responsible for the massacre.

The sooner liberalism is outlawed and liberals put in cages, the sooner America returns to being a sane country.

Not only are they not showing pictures of her, they are not even asking the obvious question as to why she allowed her mentally disturbed son to maintain an arsenal of weapons in her small apartment. Maybe because asking the question would lead to the revelation that she - and, by default, her son - are black, thereby unravelling the “white supremacist” storyline.

I hate it when guns drag an innocent to the site they plan a massacre in an effort to mask their ability to be mobile and fire themselves!

The media is onto those dastardly guns.....

I just read this. I was shocked at the purging of information from the internet and the shocking photo shop of the shooter’ picture. Something is very wrong with this cover up. http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/10/02/the-curious-case-of-oregon-shooter-chris-harper-mercer-a-social-media-profile-shaped-modified-and-deleted

I read yesterday that the mother had her own stockpile of weapons because she thought the Govt was going to take away her right to have a gun(Cant say I blame her for being nervous) of course they won’t show her face, she’s black, goes against the whole “White Supremacy” theory doesnt it

Father is a thoroughly brainwashed Brit, like Piers Morgan.

And shooter’s father must ask himself...”why should it be hard for my son to get his hands on guns? Any gun(s)?”

Because said father most likely has known for many years that his son was a most anti-social, unstable human being with a long history of mentally disturbing issues, and in the father’s infantile perception, “everybody should have known my son was a nut case, therefore, how could anyone have possibly even considered allowing a gun, yet alone an arsenal of weapons, end up in his hands?”!

That’s my take on it, anyway.

Someone had posted that they thought some of this is being orchestrated and it is beginning to look like that poster is correct. It is becoming obvious that the media is complicit in distorting and/or hiding facts to support the leftist agenda. This problem is FAR larger than people realize.

Well, maybe Obama should use Ian Mercer as a spokesman in his anti-gun campaign. Mercer is right there with the blame the gun contingent along with Obama.
