"Neighbors at a sprawling apartment complex in Torrance said they thought it was odd when a few years ago they saw Chris Harper Mercer and his mother carrying black cases that the neighbors suspected held firearms....." - Source

"ROSEBURG, Ore. — Christopher Harper-Mercer was withdrawn and quiet as he grew up in southern California, spending most of his time indoors at his mother’s apartment and deflecting neighbors when they asked him how he was doing, or why he always wore the same outfit of combat boots and green Army pants. But there was one subject that got him to open up: guns.

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. At a barbecue shortly before they left, Mr. Harper-Mercer spent hours talking with a next-door neighbor about guns and how he and his mother were excited to leave Los Angeles and get a fresh start.

“When we talked about guns and hunting, he was real open about it,” said the neighbor, Louie Flores, 32. “But anything about what was going on in his life, he really didn’t say too much at all.”......... - Source

Always take advice from irresponsible, absentee dads. They know what’s best. /s

It’s comforting to know that had the shooter only had 12 guns the massacre would never had taken place. The father has surreptiously offered a ‘common sense’ gun control law - you can only buy 12 guns at a time. As a gun owner, I could live with that and my wife is very enthusiastic about it as well !

“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.

Prediction!

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

“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” !!

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?

Won’t talk about the psychological issues, just about guns.

How about the violent entertainment in games and video?
If his son had a lobotomy would this had happened?

Maybe this little @$#@^$ should have had some kid control, and did something about this psycho fruit years ago!

Oh but society needs to clamp down on our freedoms because he was too busy.

He’s worried about his own reputation and a possible lawsuit, pure and simple.

re. gun control: Obama is the Gun Nut in Chief, buying billions of rounds of “dum-dum” (military illegal) ammo and many thousands of assault weapons for about every and all parts of the Federal Govt, not just the law enforcement branches.

Mr. Obama, set an example and unilaterally disarm yourself and your minions. Next disarm all federal agents. Set an example and show the World how it goes!

Also, much crime can be traced to the use of “crime vehicles”. Henceforth, any make and model of vehicle used in a violent act, MUST be BANNED. All existing owners of such “crime cars” must turn the vehicles in, to be destroyed and the metal used to make a large statue of someone or something!

WE MUST ACT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doubtless, every Dem will vote for this outlawing of vehicles used in violence and hate!

Right?
Right?
Anybody?
Hello?

No the little closet fudge packer would have used knives, hatchets, and machetes instead.

BOOM: Trump SCHOOLS Liberals On How to End School Shootings… They Will HATE This [VIDEO]
http://www.americasfreedomfighters.com/2015/10/05/boom-trump-schools-liberals-on-how-to-end-school-shootings-they-will-hate-this/ ^ | October 5, 2015 | Dean James

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has weighed in on the shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College and has a solution to the problem of school shootings that liberals will hate.

Trump points out that if teachers were armed they could have provided protection for those killed in the shooting. He also says that the only people with guns in these ‘gun-free zones’ are the “bad guys.”

“Everybody was sitting there and there was nothing they could do, not a thing they could do,” Trump said on FOX. “The police did a fantastic job getting in that quickly, but there was nobody with any protection.”

“Wouldn’t they have been better off if somebody in the room, anybody, anybody, had a gun to at least help them out?” Trump said. “It was a terrible thing. And these gun-free zones are a disaster. Everybody’s just a sitting duck.”

He added that he believes shootings like this are more mental health issues than gun issues.

“We have to do something about mental health. It is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. Certainly, every one of these instances with the school shootings and the movie theater shooters, every one of them turns out to be the same kind of a character.”

President Barack Obama asks Americans to ‘reconsider their position’ on guns. Obama, Hillary Clinton and other liberal gun control advocates are politicizing the shooting to further their gun grabbing agenda.

Conservative Tribune points out that Trump didn’t bow down to the media pressure.

He wasted no time in stepping up for millions of Americans and declaring he would “defend the rights of law-abiding gun owners.”

“They have background checks already in place,” Trump said. “That was in in 1998. People slipped through, and our government’s not doing a great job.”

Trump never minces words and once again, he gets straight to the point on this issue.

While everyone on the left seems to think that taking our guns away will solve the problem of mass shooters, what we actually need is more people using their Second Amendment rights as a way to counter these madmen.

We still have the right to protect ourselves from people like the Oregon shooter and from a government that could turn on us.

Trump is on the right track. He knows taking guns away is not the solution.

Here’s Donald Trump on Fox and Friends Weekend.

As Political Insider points out, Obama’s Department of Homeland Security does not believe you’d be ‘better off if somebody in the room had a gun.’

Instead, they’d rather you simply run, hide, and throw random items at the crazed gunman!
