CNN and other sources report that an attacker, now in custody, shot and killed a reported ten people, and wounded another 20, at Oregon's Umpqua Community College, about three hours south of Portland, and described by CNN as "technically a gun-free zone." Students are being evacuated to a nearby fairgrounds, and local authorities advise anyone to avoid the area of the college. Wikipedia editors are also quickly compiling information about the attack.

    What about the rights of the 100's of thousands of people that have been murdered by gun in America - what about them?

    Well, perhaps if they had all been carrying guns, they would not all have been murdered. Just sayin....

    Notice all these shootings seem to be happening in "gun free zones"?

    You stupid sonofabitch. Did you even think to check whether guns are allowed on-campus in Oregon? (hint: they are. Oregon allows conceal/carry on college campuses).

    All you have to do is fill out some paperwork, so people like you don't hurt themselves or someone else.

    Jackoff.

  4. More blood for the gun god by GameboyRMH · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The gun god demands blood sacrifice! It is the cost of irresponsible, undocumented gun ownership. Hundreds must be slain to protect you from a bit of paperwork and the hurt of libertarian feels. The fact that the NSA effectively has a full manifest of every gun owner's weapons in the US (and planet, if they wish) does not absolve you of this sacred duty.
