Oregon college shooting is all the more reason to carry guns, say local residents
The Manchester Guardian ^ | October 2, 2015 | Rory Carroll in Roseburg, Oregon

A sign in the Roseburg Gun Shop.

Interviews with almost a dozen residents of the rural Oregon community on Friday yielded unanimity on their biggest threats: gun control and Barack Obama.

The deadliest mass killing in the state’s history had taken place a few miles away and to the staff and customers of the Roseburg Gun Shop it was clear they faced a grave threat – from Barack Obama.

Authorities had just discovered a cache of 13 weapons possessed by the shooter, Chris Harper Mercer, but the man they feared was thousands of miles away in the White House, plotting, as they saw it, to confiscate their weapons and leave them defenceless.

“I’ve just ordered some more ARs,” said the owner, Candi Kinney, referring to assault rifles. “There’s always a rush on them after a big shooting. We can’t keep the stuff on the shelves.”

A lifesize cardboard cutout of the president with an Arab keffiyeh scarf stood at the door with a mocking sign: “Gun salesman of the year.”(continued)

Clearly the leftists Gun Free Zones are not working. Maybe next they'll go for Bullet Free Zones instead.

Do not give up your guns! We would dishonor the farmers, merchants, craftsmen, doctors and lawyers of April 19, 1775 if we did so. By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flags to April's breeze unfurled; There the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot hear 'round the world.

-Emerson

What happens to the lunatic’s guns? Auctioned, destroyed, or transferred to his mom or dad? I’d imagine they would be destroyed.

Send this idea around:

Since these psychos are actively targeting Christians, allow constitutional carry for all Christians, open or concealed, nationwide.

When the opposition complains, reply with, “OH! So you WANT all Christians to be murdered?”

Lay some guilt on THEM for a change.

If you want to be accurate, the shooter was 3/4 a product of Torrance, CA where his mental problems first manifested itself.

Everytime they start talking more gun control, I reflexively buy another one.

I may start giving them as gifts.

Free people can do that.

Every time they do, I join another gun rights group and send them money.

"I’d imagine they would be destroyed."

After any good ones are picked over by the local police. They'll transpose a few serial numbers when logging it in as evidence, and use one as a drop, the next time they have a dead bad guy who forgot his gun at home.

The Manchester Guardian is extremely far left in its politics, so this must have shocked the heck out of their reporter. Finding a dozen people who are in agreement about something is very rare. Even if you disagree, you pay attention to what they are all saying.

Re: 7

Nice article. Thanks for posting it,
The comments section provided comic relief as everyone was treating J-F Pinero, from Canada, as their personal piñata boy.
