President Obama's visit to show respect to families of victims at Umpqua Community College was met with demonstration by gun supporters who ironically are from the same or surrounding communities as the mass shooting. It is shameful that after such a massacre, these gun supporters have not been deterred from stubbornly preferring people to purchase guns without any restrictions. It was even surprising to hear one of the students whose life was spared from the massacre and her parent voicing their ignorance during an interview that the matter would have turned out better if all had guns inside the classroom. If the residents of a community go through such a traumatic experience and their reactions to gun control have not changed in the slightest, how can outsiders have any compassion when these gun supporters are boisterous and demonstrating with signs that bear racial overtones. The protest in Roseburg did not indicate that the town has been grieving!! Instead, the gun supporting protesters only showed a lack of respect for the mass shooting victims in their own community instead of President Obama.
