Another islamic terrorist shooting in a Gun-Free Zone

The lesson should be clear. Gun-free zones kill people.

Unfortunately -- and sadly so -- colleges and universities have become the soft targets of anyone with angst against anything or any body and for any cause.

Sadly, I think it will only get worse.

From the Douglas County local newspaper:

Quote:
Kortney Moore, 18, from Rogue River, was in her Writing 115 class in Snyder Hall when one shot came through a window. She saw her teacher get shot in the head. The shooter was inside at that point, and he told people to get on the ground. The shooter was asking people to stand up and state their religion and then started firing away, Moore said. Moore was lying there with people who had been shot.

18:27 et 10/1/2015, my president said "We know that states with the most gun laws, tend to have the fewest gun deaths." It's true. Turn in your guns now.

And here is the proof!! Chicago, old POTUS's chosen home town. ONLY 390+ dead this year. I can't think of any city where concealed carry is legal is close to this. Must be the Liberal Gold Standard for gun control.

A regular font of wisdom, that one.

Interesting observations PSM. The fact that they still haven't released the shooters I.D. is leading me to think that damage control is being done and another narrative is building up. I bet if the shooter was white, we would have known about it by now and media outlets would label it an act of terror. I know this sounds a bit tin foil but it seems like when Dylan struck the South Carolina church he was instantly I.D.'d and labeled a terrorist. How come we're not seeing it in this instance?

*edit to add.

So we have the I.D. of the gunman. Disregard my tinfoil observation. The next big question now is what was his motive.

Chris Harper Mercer

Just did another Google search and looks like we finally got an I.D. Apparently the shooter didn't even attend the school.

We, the US, granted very specific rights to the mentally challenged back in the 1980's...it is almost impossible to get someone committed without their own consent.
We went with individual liberty, strongly, to the point that many that should be institutionalized are out and about.
How do we find the fine line?

I hear you on that one.

It wasn't an hour after it happened that we started hearing about "gun control".

Not about how the shooter was most likely a pussy who had been emasculated to the point where he didn't know how to deal with his problems.

So yeah, figured we would have heard something, but I am sure there is a twist.

There always is when you don't "hear" anything.

Speaking of that...........what happened to Chattanooga? Not a peep about that terror attack since the flag at half mast hubbub.

Sheriff John Hanlin for President and Commander in Chief!

I like this guy's perspective, it mirrors mine.


RIP to the fallen, prayers to the victims.

Rot in hell asshole with no name (compliments of the Sheriff) to bad the media doesn't get it.

Today's talking point? Gun "control" laws are now gun "safety" laws.

This shooting at Umpqua Community College was less than an hour south of here.
The local media coverage has been wall to wall.
I just saw this "not seen or heard in the local media" story,

well done soldier.
