"LIBERALS TRASH CHRISTIANITY NON-STOP, THEN BLAME THE 2ND AMENDMENT WHEN SOMEONE MURDERS CHRISTIANS" - John Hawkins | Townhall, Oct 03, 2015;

As someone has said, would they have been so conspicuously silent if the gunman had been people he had identified as homosexual or feminist or Islamist? Has being a Christian become so politically incorrect that people can shoot self-identified believers and little attention be taken. Was this what it was like when the Nazis began openly killing Jews? Just wondering. - Stan]
A gunman singled out Christians, telling them they would see God in “one second,” during a rampage at an Oregon college Thursday that left at least nine innocent people dead and several more wounded, survivors and authorities said.
“[He started] asking people one by one what their religion was. ‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them, and if you’re a Christian, stand up. And they would stand up and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you are going to see God in just about one second.’ And then he shot and killed them,” Stacy Boylen, whose daughter was wounded at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., told CNN. -- The New York Post
Liberals are delighted when there’s a mass shooting because as Rahm Emanuel famously said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” Of course, they’d deny they feel that way, but before the blood even cools on the floor after a mass shooting, liberals are always working en masse to take advantage of the situation. After the shooting in Oregon, Barack Obama immediately took to the airwaves to declare that, “This is something that should be politicized.“
…and that’s what it is: pure politics because inevitably, nothing liberals ever seem to suggest would make mass shootings happen less frequently. In all fairness, that’s because what liberals really want is total gun confiscation, but taking that position would cement the Democrat Party out of power for a generation.So, if you ask Democrats what gun control law would prevent mass shootings, they inevitably lock up the same way they do when they’re asked to name a noteworthy accomplishment of Hillary Clinton that would qualify her to be President.
Of course, there are policies that would help prevent these shootings and save lives, but liberals have no interest in discussing the trade-offs any of them would require because it doesn’t further their agenda. Worse yet, they don’t want to take any measures to prevent mass shootings because fewer deaths would undercut their ultimate goal of total gun confiscation.
Given that most shootings (including the latest one) seem to happen in gun-free zones, getting rid of gun-free zones would seem to be a smart first step in stopping these shootings. The NRA has also suggested having armed guards in schools across the country. That would be an expensive measure, but it does at least have the benefit of addressing the issue. Umpqua Community College did have a security guard, but he was unarmed. If he had a gun, it’s entirely possible that a lot of lives would have been saved.
In this case, as per usual, the shooter seemed to have rather severe mental health issues. Making it much easier to involuntarily commit people like that would probably cut into the number of mass shootings. Of course, the overwhelming majority of people with mental health issues are a threat to no one other than themselves; so many people might question whether the cost and their loss of liberty would be worth it.
Also, perhaps most importantly given this situation, the killer was targeting Christians specifically. After the shooting in Charleston, people latched onto the fact that the killer took a picture with a Confederate flag and they speculated that might have had something to do with the shooting. In this case, maybe we should ask whether the incessant hate rhetoric that liberals aim at Christians influenced the killer.
Is it a coincidence that this happened when the most anti-Christian president in history is in office? Is it a coincidence that this happened when Christians are being openly persecuted in the military with the blessing of the Obama administration? Is it a coincidence that this happened when liberal gay groups are trying to make it impossible for Christians to work in certain professions unless they’re willing to violate their beliefs to support gay marriage? Is it a coincidence that this happened when most mainstream media publications would rather cut off a thumb than show a picture of the prophet Muhammad while they happily promote anti-Christian art? Is it a coincidence that this happened when every prominent American Christian from Tim Tebow to Franklin Graham is treated with absolute contempt and disgust by liberals?
Read the sort of hate that liberals habitually aim at Christians without getting anything but pats on the back from other liberals and tell me why we shouldn’t be asking if their hateful rhetoric had a role in these killings? ...“You’re allowed to have your opinion that a Palestinian 2000 years ago walked on water and did magic tricks and he was really still his own father and all that stuff. That’s fine. You can have whatever opinion you want, and the fact that a billion other people believe it gives you a lot of strength and credence. But I also have the opinion that that’s ridiculous, that it’s anachronistic, this is the 21st century.” – Bill Maher; “Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have a separation of church and state.” – Rosie O’Donnell
In a country where the Boy Scouts are being persecuted out of existence, the Obama administration has gone to court to try to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to violate their beliefs and liberals are sneering at Christians on a regular basis, no one should be surprised that someone responded to all that hate by murdering Christians for their faith.

"The Day Christians Were Martyred on American Soil" - Todd Starnes | Oct 02, 2015;http://townhall.com/columnists/toddstarnes/2015/10/02/the-day-christians-were-martyred-on-american-soil-n2060316
" ... President Obama’s behavior in the aftermath of the massacre was quite frankly unpresidential. Instead of calling for religious tolerance -- he delivered an unhinged tirade on gun control. “Somebody somewhere will comment and say Obama politicized this issue,” the president said. “Well, this is something we should politicize.”
But I reckon it’s politically incorrect to address the persecution of Christians.That could explain why the White House has expressed less than passionate outrage over the near-genocide of Christians in the Middle East. And that could also explain why his administration has failed to secure the release of an American pastor being tortured in an Iranian jail.
These days “lambs being led to the slaughter” is not exactly a politically correct narrative.
I cannot even begin to imagine the courage it took for our fellow believers to stand -- knowing that to do so -- would require the ultimate sacrifice. But their families can take comfort in knowing that after they took their last breath on Earth, they took their first breath in Heaven."
