Watch: Oregon Gun Supporters Protest Obama’s Trip to Comfort Families of Shooting Victims

More than 200 pro-gun advocates protested President Obama’s visit on Oct. 9 to Roseburg, Oregon, where he privately met and comforted the families of victims of the mass shooting on Oct. 1 that took nine lives.

“By coming here, Obama is going to politicize a tragedy by saying that you have to have gun control,” protester George Starr told the Associated Press.

However, Obama had a private meeting with the families, not a public appearance, which was made clear all week in pre-advance notices.

“I’m here to tell Obama he is not welcome in our county,” Bruce Rester added. “He is exploiting the local tragedy with his gun control agenda.”

“Everybody should carry a gun,” Rester stated. “An armed society is a polite society.” (Read more from “Oregon Gun Supporters Protest Obama’s Trip to Comfort Families of Shooting Victims” HERE)
