Comments: You already knew that Umpqua Community College was "gun-free," right?

Well, yeah.

But President Obama plans to make a Strong Statement. So I for one feel much better.

The moment I heard the headline, I didn't even have to guess that they were a GFZ. Of course, even before the incident, all you would have had to tell me that the college was located in Oregon and I could have predicted it just as well.

Good grief. I see that Obozo wasted no time turning this into an opportunity for political spin. That rat-bastard has no shame. He doesn't give a damn about the victims.

Even using the 6 degrees of kevin bacon I cannot fathom how anything that forsaken place does would ever be any of my business. Oregon can snap off the end of the continent with stupidfornia as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, neat place, naturewise, that Oregon. I hiked it top to bottom one time long ago. But the braindead idiots there have infected it, so now it is just a memory with no future until the disease is gone, maybe in my lifetime.

Gun Free Zone/Free Fire Zone, essentially the same thing to certain people. Liberals will never understand that.

That's one of the first things a potential shooter finds out, is the place gun free?
And unfortunately the citizens of that state are obedient like sheep.

Something like that won't happen down around my place. Good guys, bad guys, old people, churchgoers, Anglos, Meskins, you just never know who's walking heavy.

Lets stop calling these places "Gun Free Zones". Obviously they are not. The more correct term is "Free Fire Zone". On every one of them there is o impediment to a shooter getting anywhere from 4 to 15 minutes for uncontested weapons discharge in a target rich environment.

From the lying piece of fuck at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/10/01/statement-president-shootings-umpqua-community-college-roseburg-oregon


"Earlier this year, I answered a question in an interview by saying, “The United States of America is the one advanced nation on Earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense gun-safety laws -- even in the face of repeated mass killings.” And later that day, there was a mass shooting at a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana. That day! Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here at this podium ends up being routine. The conversation in the aftermath of it. We've become numb to this."

"We talked about this after Columbine and Blacksburg, after Tucson, after Newtown, after Aurora, after Charleston. It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun."

Well, well, well, turns out the shooter wasn't a hate filled white supremacist after all. I suspected so when I saw his mug but withheld comment until now.

@GS "...hate filled white supremacist..." You say that like it's a bad thing.

After all the dancing and sugar-coating and wringing of hands it all comes down to "them and "us". no other way to slice the pie.
And that goes for Blacks and Whites, Hispanics and Orientals, all of 'em.
This division is not "racist" it is the way man-the-animal aligns with folks just like him and considers others not like him as enemies.

Genetic memory, ancient instincts that carried us through much trouble. From cave dwellers not quite all human yet to gangs, or tribes, on the streets of cities.
Every corner of the country.

America has this dynamic. When the shooting starts it will be easy to determine them or us.
