President Barack Obama visited Roseburg, Ore., Friday in wake of the Umpqua Community College shooting to comfort the families of those who lost their lives during the deadly incident, but the president was met with the opposing force of gun rights advocates waiting just outside the airport, according to the Blaze.

The Umpqua Community College shooting, as reported by HNGN, saw 10 deaths after student Christopher Harper Mercer went on a killing rampage before losing his own life in a gunfight with police.

After Obama touched down in Oregon, he was greeted with signs that addressed his views on gun control, as well as personal remarks against him, according to Talking Points Memo.

"Don't tread on me," read some of the banners. "Go back to Kenya," said some of the others.

Obama stated in his remarks that U.S. shootings are "something we should politicize."

"Each time this happens, I'm going to bring this up. Each time this happens, I am going to say we can actually do something about it," said Obama after the shooting.

"By coming here, Obama is going to politicize a tragedy by saying that you have to have gun control," said one of the protesters, according to the Seattle Times. "It's not that we are bloodthirsty, it's that we want to protect ourselves and our families."
