You might as well try and change the Bible. The same shit storm will be kicked up with potential patriot groups literally trying to rise up and take on the Government and its military. People are being influenced by fear mongers and people who are scared do really stupid things

Though you might not hear this from the mainstream media (shock) it sure looks like President Obama will receive a less-than-warm welcome from the folks in Roseburg, Oregon during his visit Friday. Community leaders there have vocally expressed their opposition to have the president “come to our community and stand on the corpses of our loved ones to make some kind of political point,” noting that “it isn’t going to be well received not by our people not by our families and not even by our elected officials.”

Now, the father of one of the shooting’s survivors has confirmed he and his family indeed will not meet with President Obama when he comes to town, saying they refuse to be “used as props” to support an agenda.

Via BizPacReview:

The father of one of the survivors of last week’s shooting at an Oregon college said his family has no intention of meeting with President Barack Obama when the president visits the area later this week.

Stacy Boylan, father of Umpqua Community College student Ana Boylan, openly questions Obama’s motives for coming to Roseburg — with good reason, considering the president said “we should politicize” shootings such as that which occurred last week.

Ana continues to recover after being shot in the back by the gunman.

I do believe it was Rahm Emmanuel [who] said, ‘Never let a good tragedy go to waste,’” Boylan told Fox News host Megyn Kelly in an appearance, Tuesday, on the “The Kelly File.”

Boylan, a staunch Second Amendment supporter, went on to say that Obama’s visit “is completely to support his gun control agenda.” He was also highly critical of gun-free zones, saying gunmen target these areas knowing they’re not going to be met with resistance.

“Gun-free zones are a problem, they’re an issue,” he said. “They’re a target for crazy people.”

When asked specifically if he will see Obama on Friday if the president wants to meet with families of the victims, Boylan said he has spoken to his daughter and other family members and they’ve decided that they will not be used as props to support a gun control agenda.

“On principle, I find that I am in disagreement with his policies on gun control, and therefore, we will not be attending the visit,” he replied.

It’s refreshing in these times to see someone act on principle, rather than a desire for their brush with celebrity — or the drive to politicize so transparent in our president. (Though I have to give credit where it’s due; kinda gotta hand it to President Obama for openly admitting he was going to politicize this tragedy — before he walked it back later.)

Meanwhile, has anyone heard about President Obama’s plans to visit the families of any of more than 50 people shot in Chicago — in one weekend alone? Or how about the victims of the mass shooting in Baltimore that happened yesterday?

Yeah, didn’t think so.

generally speaking, criminals only shoot other criminals
we're talking about keeping the innocent citizens safe here from crazy nutjobs that shoot up schools

crazy nutjobs wont be able to obtain firearms in Mexico. how do you think they would go about it?

No one is game enough to take the nra on. They are too powerful and have milllions . Also lukerobinho you must be a scared little boy . All you see is danger everywhere. If your not too careful a leftie gun control greenie will creep up on you and try to make you a leftard :lol:

Their mentality probably shifted when the governments did

arent their legal avenues?

lol you must be trolling. the death toll from mexicos drug war is horrific and there's shootouts galore. Its safe to say if a criminal needs a weapon in mexico they'll have no problem getting one

The nra are too powerful . They dont care at all. Its all about the right to bear arms for them. Its strange that they started off as a gun safety organization

correct
Mexico has compulsory voting and they were able to introduce extremely tough gun control measures in 1971.
Even with all the other criminal activity and problems that occur there, you dont hear of nutjobs shooting up schools on a monthly basis.

The police and army are in big trouble then. They're no longer allowed guns are as defensive weapon and tool of self preservation

Interesting times ahead

Any moron who thinks liberal gun laws allow citizens to 'protect' themselves.

Depends on your definition of what pro-gun is lol.

imagine one man committing mass murder at a campus with a baseball bat :lol:

Pro-gun people should just be sterilised and put into exile.

Nothing will ever change in America, it's too deep seated. Glenn A's ideas above are a possible but you're talking 100+ years to make a change in their psysche.

With respect to the other items (alcohol, baseball bats, knives) kill people argument that is constantly trotted out can you please give it a miss?

A gun is SPECIFICALLY designed to kill. The others aren't.

That is the critical difference.

You don't need to drink alcohol, it kills thousands every year and is much more dangerous than an inanimate object surely its time ban all alcohol ?

I mean you don't need it for everyday life do you?

The only way to stop the mass shootings is for the nra to actually change its tune. They have the idiotic few who actually belive that the government wants to take their guns which is false.

Well in Australia at least, regular citizens don't have a need of firearms.
