As if he were somehow to blame, the sycophant media has been trying to lay blame for the Oregon mass killing at the feet of the local Sheriff. You see, the Sheriff is not down with the Administration’s citizen disarmament plan and had the audacity to say so publicly.

During our SWAT Fuel Fitness talk Jarrad addresses a topic that many listeners have requested. We have a special musical interlude for you and Paul will explain the reason behind the United States flag being at half-mast this last week. No, it is not what you have been told.

“Gun control is NOT the answer to preventing school shootings’: Oregon sheriff at the center of the Roseburg college killings publicly warned he would not enforce tighter Obama gun laws.
The Oregon sheriff who is running the investigation into the Roseburg college shooting is a campaigner against gun control who has lobbied the Obama administration.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin wrote a letter to Vice President Joe Biden in January 2013, one month after the Sandy Hook atrocities, defending the right to bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
‘Gun control is NOT the answer to preventing heinous crimes like school shootings,’ Hanlin wrote.
He also said he would not enforce or allow any federal agents to enforce regulation enacted by Congress to further gun control.
The sheriff has refused to publicly name Chris-Harper-Mercer, the 26-year-old gunman behind the campus shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, that killed nine, saying naming him will only give him the notoriety he sought.
‘I don’t want to glorify his name. I don’t want to glorify his cause,’ Hanlin told CNN.
In a blog post linked to him, Harper-Mercer said he relished the headlines garnered by Vester Flanagan, the man who shot dead two reporters during a live broadcast in Virginia in August before killing himself.

‘A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone … Seems the more people you kill, the more you’re in the limelight,’ the post read.
A day after the shooting, residents of the quiet former timber town struggled to comprehend the deadliest mass killing this year in the United States. The gunman also wounded a further nine people in the rampage.
He then killed himself after being hit in an exchange of gunfire with police.
Harper-Mercer lived with his mother in nearby Winchester and was described as ‘lonely’ and ‘skittish’ by neighbors.
He stormed into a classroom at the college that serves mostly older students in career transitions, shot a professor at point-blank range, then ordered cowering students to stand up and state their religion before he shot them one by one, according to survivors’ accounts.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown declined in television interviews on Friday morning to discuss gun control, as did the sheriff, and said it was a time for healing the community.
Just hours after Thursday’s shooting, a visibly angry President Barack Obama urged Americans to press their elected leaders to enact tougher firearms safety laws.
‘Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response here, at this podium, ends up being routine,’ he said. ‘We’ve become numb to this.’
Authorities offered no motive for the shooting. Hanlin said local homicide detectives and federal agents were conducting an investigation.
Not counting Thursday’s incident, 293 mass shootings have been reported this year, according to the Mass Shooting Tracker website, a crowd-sourced database kept by anti-gun activists that logs events in which four or more people are shot.
Meanwhile more details have emerged about the gunman behind America’s most recent mass killing.“
