The Oregon sheriff who is running the investigation into the Roseburg college shooting is a campaigner against gun control who has lobbied the Obama administration.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin wrote a letter to Vice President Joe Biden one month after the Sandy Hook atrocities in January 2013, defending the right to bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
'Gun control is NOT the answer to preventing heinous crimes like school shootings,' Hanlin wrote.
