This one's for the "they should enforce the existing gun laws" crew...
Who are probably talking about mental health or something, as if those exceptions actually prevent many people from buying guns...
ATF: Oregon Shooter Had 13 Guns, All Purchased Legally
By Katherine Krueger Published October 2, 2015, 2:22 PM EDT
Investigators recovered 13 guns linked to the Oregon community college shooter, all of which were purchased legally, a federal official said in a press conference Friday.
Celinez Nunez, the assistant special agent in charge of the Seattle division of the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms And Explosives, said six guns were recovered at Umpqua Community College in the wake of a shooting massacre on Thursday that left 10 dead, including the shooter. Another seven guns were found at the gunman’s residence.
The agency was in the process of tracing each of the weapons, Nunez said, but they identified seven that were purchased by the shooter or family members in the last three years.
"They were all purchased legally, yes," Nunez said.

It's the main reason I waited so long to even mention the subject, but after 24 hours and not seeing it still I was curious.
It's such an odd set of contradicting thoughts and whatnot. I'd be real wary about any well-coordinated message appearing, especially knowing that all those pics suddenly vanished. Someone is up to nefariousness, no doubt. Then again, it's media...that's to be expected.
