Waffle House shooting, at least 4 killed

[OldLady]

Another gun free zone.

Was it?

I doubt it. I'm surprised there was not an armed customer

-Geaux

The article says a customer took the rifle from the shooter. Please note the customer did not then shoot the shooter with it.

My guess is that this wasn't a gun problem, but a 13% problem.

Another day and another mass shooting. What happens regularly here is very rare where there is strong gun control.



At least four people were killed and several others were injured early Sunday when a gunman opened fire at a Waffle House in Nashville, Tenn., police said.

The alleged gunman, Travis Reinking, 29, began shooting at patrons around 3:25 a.m. Sunday at the Waffle House, located about 16 miles southeast of downtown Nashville, before fleeing the scene, Metro Nashville police said. Authorities had initially said Reinking was a person of interest, but later said he has been identified as a suspect.

"If you see a nude guy walking around this morning call the police department," Don Aaron of the Metro Police Department told WTVF.

A person at the restaurant had wrestled away the alleged shooter's rifle.

If they don't have guns they kill with something else traitor. If you have a gun you may survive it. Troll.

Countries with strong gun control also have much lower homicide rates. Seems other ways of killing are much less effective.

Isn't it London about to ban knives, because everyone is getting stabbed to death?

Local news in Nashville just reported gunman was not unknown to local and federal authorities

He should have. Apparently the murderer is still on the loose. I take it you support letting him get away.

I'll bet. A guy who walks into a Waffle House at 3 a.m. naked and loaded for bear is probably not your average, quiet neighbor boy.

I don't carry and make it home every day. Stop being so scared.

Tell that to the dead at Waffle House.

And the shooter was armed because of our weak gun laws and stopped by somebody who wrestled the gun away. That would happen more often with less high capacity magazines.

Sounds like somebody who shouldn't have owned a gun.

Bullshit.

Well, for the record, I would have preferred that the brave customer had shot the murderer as he was absconding IF he had the ability to do so. We can agree to disagree.

 

[jon_berzerk]

the guy is from Illinois probably another batshit crazy leftard

Before we go any farther, those poor, poor people.
As a sick side note, I watched CNN this morning for about twenty minutes and they didn't even mention this. What have we become?

Ya think?

Yes, waffle house doesn't allow weapons in their restaurants.

They also tend to frown on customers cooking their own meal for safety reasons ... Even if they clean the grill afterwards.

AS USUAL....the Left finds it to "UnComfortable" to address the REAL and UNDERLYING causes of violence...so they blame objects....
Additionally, since they crave huge, oppressive, Authoritarian government (because they lack the ability to think for themselves or control themselves), and since guns represent the means to prevent said Authoritarianism, ....

Here's a great synopsis.....

Well, frankly, because people kill people. There have been stories after China and Japan in the last few years who have experienced mass stabbing events in both public places and schools. Gun laws there are strict, but if you're in the extremely small fraction of people with mental illness who become violent and you intend to kill someone (or even several people), you're going to figure out a way to do it. They already cracked down on guns, so they have less gun violence...but what are you going to do next? Crack down on kitchen knives?

My answer to gun control debates is Why are you so insistent on treating symptoms rather than trying to target the cause? If you look at the mass shootings that have occurred during Obama's presidency alone (and the numbers are staggering), you'll find that it is a lot of young men with mental illness. In many cases (in fact, I'd argue in most cases), other people knew that this individual was violent or felt strongly that something bad was brewing, but due to the nature of the psychiatric system, there was literally nothing they could do to prevent the violence; all they could do was wait for the worst to happen.

By and large, gun violence is not a gun problem: It's a psych problem! However, the American people, and it would seem politicians in particular, find that talking about psychiatric issues is uncomfortable so they try to police the nation in other ways. We elect cowards, and we're surprised about what doesn't get addressed.

Thank you Ms. Meissner for your clear and honest insight. What a shame so many can't think beyond their irrational fears.

So what. He threw it behind the counter because that was the thing to do

Bullshit.

It is very true
US homicide rate: 4.88
UK: .92
Japan: .31
Germany: .85

Those countries don't have the 13% problem that we have.
