Father of Oregon Killer Blames GUNS, Not Son, For Umpqua Massacre [VIDEO]
The Right Scoop ^ | 10/3/15 | Caleb Howe

"I'm not trying to say that they're to blame for what happened. But if Chris had not been able to get hold of 13 guns it wouldn't have happened." CNN just interviewed the father of the murderer of nine people at Umpqua Community College this week, and though he claims he is not blaming guns, he spent most of the interview doing that exact thing.

“Umm...knives, axes, swords, etc. can be used to kill someone.”
And let’s not forget cars & planes have also been used to commit murder.

Speaking of cars being used to commit murder...

Remember a few years back the Iranian jihadist who plowed into a bunch of people at a university here in the US?

Funny how that’s never mentioned as terrorism, or mentioned at all, esp. since we’re now blood brothers with Tehran thanks to Obama.

He should be blaming himself for raising a kid that doesn’t respect human life.

Hands?

Well, why not blame the the kids hands?

“If we’d simply cut his hands off when he was younger, this never would have happened...”

I though the kid’s mother used to take him target-shooting - this guy was so detached and distant that he didn’t even know that about the interest in guns of his son and former wife? - some of the reason for the apparent emptiness in the kid’s life begins to come into focus.....

Wonder if most of them are still sealed?
