Portland, October 10 (RHC)-- Over 200 gun-rights activists in the US have protested President Barack Obama's visit to the state of Oregon to meet with the families of victims of last week's college mass shooting. 

Holding signs on Friday that said Obama was not welcome, the protesters stood outside an airport in Roseburg, Oregon where the president arrived in a helicopter and got into a limousine.  He was whisked away to a nearby high school for private conversations with victims’ families. 

The protesters were angry about Obama's calls for restrictions on guns following the massacre that killed eight students and a professor at Umpqua Community College on October 1st.  Some of the protesters not only carried signs, but were also reportedly carrying handguns.
