Otherwise, come up with a better deflection ruse, something we haven't seen so often around here......

One of the many that has experienced shootings over the past few years. She lost a friend in a mass shooting, good kid, I met him his freshman year. Your typical wide eyed, skinny 18 year old.

I have not experienced a kid dying from drowning in a bucket, but if her school had that problem, a solution would have been quickly implemented.

So, with no due respect, shove your ignorant comment up your contempable ass.

"A couple hundred gun rights activists gathered in #Roseburg to send #Obama a message. Motorcade went the other way."

And if it did, they would still rather protect their rights and their PRECIOUS...........than have their child.

There was a family member of one of the dead in Oregon, who came right out and said that they were not in favor of ANY changes in gun laws.

There is a severe disconnect.

Argue your so-called "rights" later, AFTER you've shown a little decent respect.

in Oregon's Republican Belt. He's probably never come near there previously.

Roseburg is full of conservative dipshits. Too bad it's gorgeous; they don't deserve it.
