In an emotional statement, the father of a victim of the mass murder in Isla Vista on Friday night addressed reporters Saturday and warned families that it can happen to them too. "Our family has a message for every parent out there: You don’t think it’ll happen to your child until it does.”

I know how it is here I have lived in California all my life this state has one of the most strict gun control laws of any state..its all run by liberal douche bags who hate guns..the second I saw this victim’s father’s face I knew he was a flaming lib..I understand, he lost his son but seriously, the first thing out of his mouth is to trash the NRA..how about trash the MURDERER who took his son’s life how about that for ONCE..how about blaming the police who was told weeks ago about crazy youtube videos and did NOTHING..his manifesto was 148 pages, ya telling me he was able to hide that kind of insanity from the cops..no way..for whatever reason, probably the fact that he is a rich lib from a wealthy family he was able to get away with it
Christopher Martinez was one of the shooting victims..Elliott Rodgers was the killer
Remember this is California, where they’ve already pretty much nullified the Second Amendment... how can they possibly get any more restrictive, except by going door to door and physically removing all guns. (Illegal immigrants would, of course, be exempt/s;)
I heard today an Anti Semitic murderer went on a killing spree at a Jewish Museum in Belgium..I thought a person can’t have a gun in Belgium, yet this killer had one..just goes to show, all this gun control BS is just causing more death..the bad guys will always get the guns, the good guys are the ones being told they cant defend themselves
“This man’s son would be just as dead had he used a crack barrel 12ga loaded with 3” #00. He rolled up to the unsuspecting crowd aimed and fired.”
I can empathize with the father. That much grief brings with it the banshee keen of madness. I don’t know if I could survive it.
This whole series of mass murders is getting a bit suspicious, IMV. How many coincidences can stack up before it becomes impossible to ignore the stench of fish?
This crap didn’t happen fifty years ago, when it was so much easier to get guns and ammunition, and before the blue-nose ranting against booze had racheted up to its current deafening roar.
What has changed? Are there actually cold-eyed killers willing to create this incidents for the purpose of disarming—and subsequently destroying—America? Is this thread —http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3159771/posts—on the money instead of paranoid?
Chris is Martinez’s murdered son. Elliot Rodger was the actual murderer. Don’t feel bad. A number of Freepers first thought the article was about the murderer and his father.
The government is, unfortunately, trying their best to stick it to the people.

“the bad guys will always get the guns, the good guys are the ones being told they cant defend themselves”
When I was a freshman in college, 1971-72, a professor called me up to his desk after class and said that he had been seeing bumper stickers that read, “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
He then said that he didn’t understand what it meant, and asked me if I could explain it to him.
True story.
“He then said that he didn’t understand what it meant, and asked me if I could explain it to him.”
Why am I not surprised?
Hitler said that the only way to control a nation is to disarm them..whenever I hear anyone say that guns should be banned I remember that quote..I never hear about gun control from the left when murder after murder happens in Chicago, why, because those murderers are gang bangers, often time black, so therefore its OK for them to slaughter innocent people..what this guy did today is no different than what happens in Chicago every single day, in fact, what happened last night in Santa Barbara is considered a good day in Chicago when “Only” three people are killed by a gun..Chicago has also strict gun control laws, what has that gotten them, nothing..because the bad guys don’t read signs about “Gun free zones” maybe they just need bigger, flashier signs
“maybe they just need bigger, flashier signs”
Robocop!
I think you’re talking about the perp’s father who’s a Hollywood director; this statement was from the father of one of the victims. The perp’s family, through their attorney did, however, issue an anti-gun statement. I don’t think like this father the perp’s family specified the NRA, just support for gun control.

Ssri no doubt and Mom and dad took them too.
Another “programmed” nutcase just completed his mission. And more people will accept the disarming of the country.
Chris was the victim, he killed no one.
I am sorry for the family’s loss, but blaming a lack of gun control and the NRA is a mistake. The young man did what he did, regardless of what weapon he used. It does not take a gun to commit multiple murder, just look at what happened here in Calgary last month; a university student killed five with a knife.
The blame needs to rest firmly on the shoulders of the one who did the crime. Ethan Rodgers CHOSE to kill people. I saw the video on Youtube that he recorded. VERY disturbing! I have never heard so hedonistic a screed. Some of the things he said, suggested to me that it was sometimes a demon speaking, rather than just a self centered, prideful, immature young man. He sounded like someone possessed.
I wonder how that young man was raised? After all, a 22 year old with a fairly new BMW, whose father was part of the Hollywood ‘in crowd’. It is claimed by some that Hollywood is overtly, rather than merely covertly controlled by the Deceiver. More evidence to support the claim.
I think this is the father of a victim. I looked at a still from the video of him reading his statement. It is very sad - he is clearly distraught. I feel very bad for him. I wish he would zip it though, no matter how badly I feel for him as a man. He has no special expertise on the Constitution.
