Minnesota –-(Ammoland.com)- Most of the facts are still coming in on today’s mass murder in Oregon, but we do know a few things:
The anti-Second Amendment team is proud that it was a gun-free zone.*
That didn’t stop the murderer, but it certainly stopped anyone from stopping the murders.
We also know that the killer, who was 20 years old, was killed in an exchange of gunfire with the police. And, no, he didn’t have a carry permit. As in Minnesota, you have to be 21 in Oregon to legally carry.
At the campus, the average student age is 38. Since more than one in 16 adults in Oregon has a carry permit, there’s little doubt that one or more of the 800+ permit-holding students were nearby, but disarmed.
What this crime has in common with so many others is that people knew that this murderer intended to hurt and kill people (he wrote about it on social media)…but no one called the police.
None of these facts will stop the enemies of freedom from blaming YOU for this horrible crime, or for calling for more restrictions on your Second Amendment rights.
In fact, last week, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called for a reinstatement of the failed “Assault Weapons” ban of 1994.
We expect the same from Minnesota lawmakers. And, like before, with your help, we intend to beat them.

One student at the college rushed the mad gunman, he was shot seven, yes seven time.
He is military veteran and will recover, slow and long, from his wounds.
He went around the building pulling fire alarms and telling students and faculty to get out now.
I might be wrong but I do not know of any real life instance where the police are pro active. If you wold have known that the killer was going to be on campus and was going to kill people do you really think things would have been any different. You watch to much TV, police are not in the business of being proactive they are in the business of cleaning up after the shit hits the fan. The law does not work for a possible crime only after a crime is committed. Unless you threaten to kill the president… Read more »
This quote was in a USA Today article: “Throughout his presidency, especially after shootings, Obama has called for legislation to try to stop gun violence, including enhanced background checks, an assault weapons ban, and improved mental health programs. On this occasion, the president said, “it cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm to get his or her hands on a gun.” What you do not hear is President Obama calling for an investigation into the background of the mass shooters, how many were being treated for mental illness, and how many of those were using SSRI’s… Read more »
Another DEM-Ol-Cat’s inspired terrorist (or paid hit-man) who sought out the likely “soft” target that had refused earlier to allow armed guards, or legally armed CCW permit holder students! Now Oslama’s got another notch in his pistol grip, to exploit the 2nd Amendment as the fault for everything wrong with his Constitution bashing power struggle. Wake up and get rid of the leader(less)ship in W.D.C.; and put us back on the road to being AMERICA!
Why hasn’t this been taken down? It’s full of completely incorrect and mis-identifying information about the shooter. Really irresponsible.
Obviously this article was written shortly after the news story broke as it is filled with inaccurate statements. The shooter was not 20 yrs. old but 26. By Oregon state law schools cannot ban a licensed to carry person or their weapons except in certain buildings. To my present knowledge only one licensed to carry person who was armed was on campus at the time of the incident. He apparently wasn’t in the area occurred or he chose not to act. The author of this article needs to withdraw it and republish it acknowledging the updated information in his analysis… Read more »
