Forgive me for not knowing but how did this loser obtain his gun?

As a kid I grew up in what I now know was a dangerous area, and there are steps you can take to lessen the chance of becoming a victim of violent crimes in such places.

There is NO way to prevent these senseless hate fueled random acts of violence. This is a rational practical society we live in, but there are no practical rational preventative measures for what happened in Oregon, what happened at the church in SC, or what happened at the Batman opening in Colorado.

Again, I don't know how the demon in Oregon got his gun because of the 5 articles and 2 videos I sifted through....that information hasn't been reported, but I'm assuming he didn't have a criminal record and wasn't diagnosed with mental illness..so he probably legally could have obtained a firearm.


I disagree with the president immediately making this a "gun law/rights" issue. I said the same thing when the shooting happened in SC. Can we just mourn the loss of life and show respect to the families of the deceased before instantly injecting politics into everything? We can discuss it now, but I took issue with Obama's timing.
