On October 1 Cheyenne Fitzgerald was shot in the back during the attack at Umpqua Community College, and her mother says the attack is a reminder that Americans must be armed for self-defense.
During a segment aired by NBC Nightly News on October 4, Fitzgeraldâs motherâBonnie Schaanâsaid her daughter should have been armed and she stressed that Americans must arm themselves so they are able to defend their lives if such a heinous attack befalls them.
Schaan said, âAmerica we need to pack gunsâif this is what itâs coming toâto have to protect ourselves.â And Schaan was not alone in her views. Rather, numerous Sunday sermons in Roseberg, Oregon, focused âGod and guns.â
On October 2 Breitbart New reported that Roseberg residents were rallying to the Second Amendment in the wake of the attack. One residentâdisabled Marine Casey Runyanâsaid he carries a Glock handgun âeverywhere he goes.â He added, âAll my friends agree with me. Thatâs the only kind of friends I have.â Another resident criticized the gun-free policies at UCC, claiming such policies open the door to cowardly attackers.
