Though survivors and victims of the Umpqua Community College attack have told President Barack Obama he was not welcome in their town, the gun-control obsessed President has made a visit to Roseburg, Oregon anyway, leading to a sizable and armed protest against him.

Predictably, Obama skirted both the protesters and the media, and fled into an alternate entrance once he arrived in town.
What a coward!!!! He went out the other end. Even skirted the news crews!! #Roseburg #DisArmObama

President Obama did have some supporters in Roseburg, however.
Here are both of them.
