Oregon Campus Shooting

[Chance]

I know this has been an active discussion in the "Shooting Incidents in the News" thread, but I was hoping to compile it here, for ease of reference.

For those unfamiliar, there has been a mass killing at a community college in Oregon. At present, 13 are confirmed dead, and the shooter was evidently killed by police. Linked information is still preliminary, so please take it with a grain of salt. From BBC News:

At least 13 people have been killed in a shooting at Umpqua Community College in the US state of Oregon. The 20-year-old gunman died after exchanging fire with police officers inside a classroom about 10:30 local time (18:30 BST), officials said. Oregon State Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said that at least 20 people were wounded.

Also in that article is the initial report that he was using a "long gun" that was potentially outfitted with a suppressor. I don't recall seeing either of those terms in many news reports, so it makes me wonder who they were interviewing.

I shared this in the other thread but Reddit has the link to a post on 4Chan last night that was probably from the shooter. I won't directly link it do to some of the enraging comments on that post.

President Obama already bringing up guns. Wow


*edit*
I said it in the shooting incident thread but my heart goes out to the victims and their families.

It is the gun's fault.....the dictator has spoken.

Has the shooter's identity been released yet?

That's comforting to know. I was worried it was going to be some crazy asshole who was overmedicated and under-loved.

nope, neither has the weapon he used or how many victims are actually deceased/injured.

So what I'm seeing thus far is that you could actually have a firearm on campus, if you were licensed? Why do people think that leaving your life vest at home somehow makes everyone more buoyant?

President Obama already calling for more gun control. Wow

First off, sorrow, prayers, and empathy for the families of the victims, and a visceral "may-you-burn-in-hell" to the SOB who perpetrated this atrocity, may he be welcomed with bloody hands into a hospitable grave, if he still lives.

On the political reaction by the Left: With Boehner leaving as Speaker, will he feel bitter enough towards the Republican base to pass a guncontrol bill as a parting middle-finger towards the Tea-Party? I would not put it past a RINO to do this.

He knows he cannot truly transform what he can't disarm.
