He is English with a Cockney accept not Irish as I had thought initially - he did not know how his son had one gun let alone 13 - said the only reason for a gun is to kill and something has to be done about gun laws in the US.

Mom of Oregon shooter bragged about her arsenal of weapons online: report

The mother of the rage-filled loner who shot and killed nine people at an Oregon community college blasted opponents of open-carry laws and bragged about her personal arsenal of weapons online, according to reports.

Laurel Harper, a nurse who shared an apartment near the Umpqua Community College campus with her troubled 26-year-old son Chris Harper Mercer, boasted on Facebook that she owned a stockpile of handguns and assault rifles,
according to vocativ.com.
