Could these shooting be related to to people or a group who hate the fact that Obama was elected to a 2nd term?
I work with 3 people who voted for Romney and are currently in the process of stocking up on ammunition and various forms of currently legal guns from 22 caliber to AR15s because they are convinced that Obama is getting ready to send the military into peoples home and do a weapons grab because they believe that Obama is anti-guns and want to turn the USA in to a military state.
So in your opinion are these just individuals acting on their own or is this a part of a larger radical fringe group attempting to force Obamas hand. It would be interesting to see what the investigators find on today's shooters computers as well as the Portland shooter.
Such a sad situation in our country these days.

Tamp down the speculation until more comes out.

The answer is of course no. Just as the answer to your op is no.
Not saying they aren't an Obama hater. Just saying that is not the reason why.

The gun lobby uses them because they are prone to believe that shit.
