The former president of Umpqua Community College, who retired at the end of June 2015 said during the past months UCC had discussed hiring armed security. <blockquote>“We talked about that over the last year because we were concerned about safety on campus”</blockquote> <blockquote>“The campus was split 50-50.

Tennessee's Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the State Senate stated on Facebook:<ref>http://www.facebook.com/teamronramsey</ref> <blockquote>The recent spike in mass shootings across the nation is truly troubling. Whether the perpetrators are motivated by aggressive secularism, jihadist extremism or racial supremacy, their targets remain the same: Christians and defenders of the West.

While this is not the time for widespread panic, it is a time to prepare. I would encourage my fellow Christians who are serious about their faith to think about getting a handgun carry permit. I have always believed that it is better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

Huckabee noted Obama failed to comment on the singling out of Christians. Though in a hypothetical situation where Muslims were targeted by an atheist (Christians and Jews do not murder) Obama would likely have implied America was racist and "Islamophobic" nation. (see Obama's response when progressive atheist Craig Stephen Hicks killed Muslims near UNC Chapel Hill).

<blockquote>“The president always wants to be defensive and tell us there is no such thing as Islamic terrorism. These aren’t religious people even though we all know they are. But when it seems that the target is a Christian, he conveniently just ignores it, denies it or just moves on to something else. I do think it is incredibly significant that there was a religious intent and motive in this shooter’s attitude.”<ref>http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/mike-huckabee-routine-barack-obama-exploit/2015/10/02/id/694496/</ref></blockquote>
