A gunman opened fire on the campus of a community college in Roseburg, Oregon, on Thursday, killing multiple people and injuring many more.

The gun manufacturers love these mass killings!

The President just gave a speech deploring the insanity of our joke gun laws so all the reich winger teahaddists on fox news/hate radio will be screaming about the scary black man in the white house coming for your manhood/gunz!!!

And the $$$ will just roll in baby!

Oh lets pray for the dead (and make HUGE BANK!!) God bless Amerika!!!
