I do feel sympathy for this man as he grieves through the loss of his son. It is something no parent should have to endure.

However, the focus on calling for an end to gun violence is missing the mark. The focus should be on the mental condition of the young man who committed these crimes which he did with a knife, a gun and a car.

Sadly, already liberal politicians are calling for additional unconstitutional gun control. The libs never waste an opportunity.

Had his son been struck by lightning he would have felt the same grief. But you can’t legislate against lightning.

The grieving father of one of the six students shot dead by the 'virgin killer' in California on Friday, led a rousing call for a change in gun laws at a memorial today.

I gotta agree, "Not One More!"

Let's make sure everyone who wants a firearm for self defense has one!

No more massacre zones!

“Never let a good crisis go to waste”

When you use the death of your kid or spouse to advance a political agenda you loose all of my sympathy.

In this case, the hysteria is unjustified. No one can bear the permanent pain of from losing a child at any age, but it seems doubly painful at the threshold of adulthood. Rationality in responding to the death cannot be expected from a parent in that position.

But it can be condemned from the opportunists who choose to ignore that of the seven deaths, only three were the result of firearms.
Unknown, is how many of the 13(?) injured were the result of firearms or knives or being run over by the psychopath-sociopath.

It would be as mindless to ban all BMWs and kitchen knives from campus as the result of the knee-jerk response that we all know is the heart of the Obamajerks' "never let a crisis go to waste!" disgusting mentality.

the killer mentions 3 different types of psych pills he was taking. I’m surprised he could walk.

If you’re serious about ‘not one more’ then teach your kids to use and carry - and, whatever you do, do NOT disarm either us or our kids.

The psychos and the criminals will ALWAYS find weapons of one sort or another.

I blame him as much as his dead kid for those deaths, not guns. Society should also.

the gun didn’t kill anyone

the crazy nut job that was under professional ‘care’ since he was 8 did. obviously, he needed to be locked up in a nuthouse.

we should bring back the nut houses

meanwhile, if CA had better gun rights, someone would have shot him before he got more then a couple

I guess grief can make you silly..
Sorry sir no gun got up, walked to where your son was and killed him.
That was done by a human being. A sick and evil human being. That is what we must adress to stop the next son from dying...

How many of these people, nuttier than a fruitcake, throwing off danger signs, and making it obvious for months... nobody cares.

The blaming the guns is a typical knee jerk reaction. Liberals are always reacting with knee jerk stupidity. I think the therapist who got the email with the manifesto shares much of the blame. The therapist should have called the police immediately and had Elliot Rodger arrested. The therapist who failed to make the call will have to answer some hard questions.

Thus the term “Useful Idiot”.

I guess the Families of the three Asian Men horribly stabbed to death, a fate this man’s Son did not endure, are merely bystanders at this point.

Their Son’s deaths don’t rise to the Liberal threshold of Victimhood worthy of Political Prostitution.

Hard to feel sympathy for a Red Dupe who lies by omission about the nature of this horrible series of attacks.

As Richard Martinez addressed a crowd of about 20,000 who gathered for the University of California Santa Barbara memorial, the crowd got to their feet and joined his chant of 'Not One More'.

Yes! It is time to continue to blame inanimate objects for deaths by madmen! Take away guns from law abiding citizens. What will that solve?

The insanity continues!

Sympathy and prayers for sure. Let’s be honest here.. Get rid of Victim Zones. Let people carry everywhere and it will end these horrible events. If gun free zones worked, the man’s wife and daughters could walk the streets of Chicago and LA at night. It just doesn’t work, everywhere it’s tried.

I feel terrible for the loss of a child, but this man has been turned into another useful idiot sadly.
