U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Nashville:
“Nashville woke up to devastating news. We mourn the innocent victims and thank our brave first responders.
“Many will say now is not the time to discuss change. But now IS the time. We can and must do everything possible to prevent these tragedies and keep Americans safe. That starts with restricting widespread civilian access to military-grade assault weapons.”
At least he didn't say it was a high power rifle.
The mayor of Nashville was just on parroting basically the same messageQuote:

Waffle House suspect arrested last year by Secret Service
[Bang]Quote:
The AR-15 used in the shooting and the handgun were among four firearms that authorities took from Reinking after U.S. Secret Service agents arrested him last July for being in a restricted area near the White House, officials said. Special Agent Todd Hudson said Reinking was detained after refusing to leave the restricted area, later explaining he wanted to meet President Donald Trump.
State police in Illinois, where Reinking lived until last fall, revoked his state firearms card at the request of the FBI and the four guns were taken from him, authorities said. Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said the guns were returned to his father, who told authorities Sunday he had given the weapons to his son.
So, the dad needs to be prosecuted for providing firearms to a prohibited person and accessory to murder?
I would think so. Same as a proxy purchase.Quote:

Several businesses have found that out the hard way by posting generic No Guns Allowed signs they bought at the hardware store instead of the state issued signs stating No Firearms Allowed in accordance with T.C.A. law code and section (I used to know it by heart but its been 5 years since I lived there).
damn straight he does.Quote:
