School Shooting in Oregon

Here's the Google News Feed.

The college website is currently down.

Per the cached version of their "safety and security information":


*And of course this is just the beginning:

*Evidently "authorized by law" means it was not a "gun free campus" as other reports are claiming. See #26 on the list.

*§ 166.370:
Possession of firearm or dangerous weapon in public building or court facility ... (1) Any person who intentionally possesses a loaded or unloaded firearm or any other instrument used as a dangerous weapon, while in or on a public building, shall upon conviction be guilty of a Class C felony ... Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to ... A person who is licensed under ORS 166.291 (Issuance of concealed handgun license) and 166.292 (Procedure for issuing) to carry a concealed handgun.
* From CBS Seattle:
Joe Olson, former president of the college, told The Associated Press the school has only one security officer on duty at a time, and that person isn’t armed.
* NR Today:
The shooter was asking people to stand up and state their religion and then started firing away...
* The Blood-Dancer in Chief:
Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said Thursday that “sensible steps that can be taken to protect our communities from gun violence continues to be a top priority of this administration.” Such steps would include ending the ability of private parties to sell guns without doing a background check on purchasers, Mr. Earnest said. Mr. Obama’s inability to get such legislation through Congress “has been a source of frustration for him,” Mr. Earnest said.
* Per the Hushmail Haters, it's Kevin's fault:

* He was egged on:
According to the source close to the investigation, authorities are looking at social media posts between a person they believe may have been the shooter, and others. The conversation happened Wednesday night on 4chan. In it, the writer talks about planning to carry out a shooting. Others egg him on, giving him suggestions on how to do it, and the type of weapons to use. The responses are mixed -- with some users characterizing the would-be gunman as a pathetic loser. Others called him a twisted hero. In the posts, there is a reference to the UC Santa Barbara shooter, who wrote a manifesto and videoed himself before opening fire a year ago. "This is the only time I'll ever be in the news. I'm so insignificant," reads an apparent post by the would-be Oregon gunman.
Is this what I think it is? If so, save before it gets taken down.

* The Blood-Dancer in Chief, alright:
OBAMA: We should politicize tragic shootings, and use victims to push anti-gun agenda.
* Screenshots I took earlier today but did not post but it looks like others have come to the same conclusion:
* Removed because they weren't of the ID'd shooter.

If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again

A Virginia group is taking aim at what it calls “lethal loopholes” [More]
Looks like a term from years past that the antis couldn't get to take off is being dusted off to see if it'll work at manipulating more cud-chewers this time around...

Expect to see it picked up and parroted to make it a dominant sound bite.

No Country has Ever Simply Turned Itself into Another Country Like This.

Democratic political strategists Ruy Teixeira and John Judis have been gloating for 20 years about how post-1965 immigration would soon produce a country where Republicans could not win an election, anywhere. Then Democrats could do whatever they want. [More]
Thank goodness that has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Be True to Your School

A pregnant girl was rushed to the hospital after she was involved in a melee involving 30 to 40 students at a high school named in honor of President Obama.[More]
So be true to your school
(Rah rah rah rah sis boom bah)
Just like you would to your girl or guy
(Rah rah rah rah sis boom bah)
Be true to your school now
(Rah rah rah rah sis boom bah) Let your colors fly
(Rah rah rah rah sis boom bah)
Be true to your school
(Push 'em back, push 'em back, way back)

Heck of a Job, Boehnie!

Jeb appreciates everything you did. [More]

Of course, he also thinks Hillary deserved a Liberty Medal.

Associated Propaganda

Lax laws prevented the agency from effectively targeting the flow guns across the border. (AP File Photo) [More]
Take it from the Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists who did their best to spike what was really going on.

Oh It's the Safety Dance

‘Public safety zones’ could allow police to keep some people out of areas [More]  
Hey is it too late to add an amendment, and also make 'em "Gun Free Zones," just to be extra special double super safe?

In other words, it's basically a helpless admission that if we can't trust the morally defective there, we can't trust them anywhere -- and that it's all a stupid "Safety Dance" by clueless opportunists who can act like imbeciles if they want to wh9ile endangering the rest of us in the process.

And yes, of course Charlotte is a Bloomberg town.

Badgering Badger

The attorney for Badger Guns says the reason Collins changed the answers to questions on the form is because he is dyslexic and the salesman had to help him understand the questions on that form. The attorney added that the seller had no reason to think Collins was deceiving him. [More]
Disabilities for disabilities? And now dyslexia is a showstopper?

The antis keep coming up with new reasons to disqualify people from buying guns, don't they? Either that or in order to sell them, you need the impossible ability to read minds. Meanwhile, emotions are manipulated by focusing attention on damage done, instead of on the legal issues.

You'd almost think they don't want anyone to be armed...

At Ease

Defense authorization bill calls for easing rules for guns on bases [More]
Now we get to see who opposes it...

Where There's a Will

The need for more regulation of firearms is there, a four-person panel asserted at St. Ignatius in Baltimore Sept. 21, but at least one panelist had major doubts as to whether there is sufficient will. [More]
Let me remove your doubts: There's not.

What there is is a lot of ignorance and idiocy on that panel.

We're the Only Ones Risk Averse Enough

This fear mongering comes from Joseph Hubbard, 40, the president of Jeffersonville Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 100, who asserts “somebody is going get away with killing a cop because of this law.” [More]
As opposed to a cop getting away with killing somebody because of the status quo?

So flesh it out for us, Joseph: What level of abuse would justify self-defense and an escalating continuum of force up to and including lethal to stop a badged assailant?  Or are we just supposed to die so he can make it home at the end of his shift?

Their mission statement says it all:
“Protect and Serve those who Serve and Protect”

What's the Question?

But sometimes in life, guns are the only answer. [More]
As long as they're wielded by a monopoly of violence, right, you irrelevant wanker?

"Progressive" Paradise

A ‘liberal paradise’ would be a place where everybody has guaranteed employment, free comprehensive health care, free education, free food, free housing, free clothing, free utilities and only law enforcement personnel have guns. And, believe it or not, such a liberal utopia does indeed exist. ... It’s called prison. [More]
And don't forget to mention where any deviation from immediate and total obedience to the guards can result in a world of sadistic retaliation.

Painting the Town Red

Everybody's an art critic these days. [More]

If only they would disarm you and me, and then melt our guns down for a sculpture...

Hackish

Oh, look, a "progressive" race-based sitcom is anti-gun and spreads clumsy lies among the ignorant to shape their political views. [More]

More ABC "family values," no doubt.

And those values come straight from the top.
