The sheriff overseeing the investigation of an Oregon college shooting has been vocal in opposing state and federal gun-control legislation.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin registered his opposition this year as state lawmakers considered requiring background checks on private, person-to-person gun sales.
Hanlin told a legislative committee in March that a background-check mandate wouldn't prevent criminals from getting firearms.
He said the state should combat gun violence by cracking down on convicted criminals found with guns, and by addressing people with unmanaged mental health issues.
Hanlin also sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden in 2013, after the shooting at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school. Hanlin said he and his deputies would refuse to enforce new gun-control restrictions "offending the constitutional rights of my citizens."

She says they heard footsteps outside, and a man's voice call out to them, "Come on out, come on out." They remained quiet and didn't open the door.
Miles says police soon arrived. And after students were convinced they were indeed officers, they opened the door.
Miles says seeing the officers was "like a huge burden had been lifted."

Royals left-hander Jeremy Guthrie says he's keeping his Oregon hometown in his prayers after a mass shooting at a local community college.
Guthrie was born in Roseburg and lived there until he was 12. But he moved just 100 miles away and visited there often after he left. His father sold cars in the community for about 20 years.
"I used to ride around that entire town on my bicycle," he said before the Royals faced the White Sox in Chicago. "When we went somewhere, we jumped on our bikes and rode down to the shoe store, the mall, and as such you got to know people."
Guthrie says he has several cousins, aunts and uncles who still live in the Roseburg area.
"Certainly in those smaller towns everybody knows each other, so I'm sure there are many people that are directly feeling the pain today," he said.

The vice president is renewing his call for what describes as "sane gun legislation." He says the Second Amendment doesn't allow someone to own a bazooka.
Biden says there's almost nothing worse than getting a phone call saying, "Your child is gone." He's alluding to his own son's brain cancer death earlier this year.
