Vindicated? In no way have the warnings from those opposed to guns been vindicated.
"We will probably see some gun nut here in Oregon go on a shooting spree soon." What does it matter where people die, Oregon, Nevada, California, from some lunatic bent on mass murder. Sure, it may bring it closer to home, but how much closer than Roseburg do you need to get?
As to blood on the hands of gun owners, hoooooey. None of my guns killed anyone today. The same can be said for the owner of all the other 300 million guns (minus about 20).
Finally, I'm not angry. I'm sad; sad that 59 (so far) attending the concert died and hundreds more were injured.
This is not a "gun violence" problem. This is a violence problem. If these sorts of incidents are to be prevented, we need to find out what turns people violent. The tool they use is not the issue. That's true especially in the case of guns that protect people from violence possibly millions of times each year in this country.
