But, Waffle House is a Gun Free Zone

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 message

Now is the time for change. Time to ban gun free zones. Time to eliminate permits for exercising basic rights. Time to issue an American Rifle (AR) to each citizen following training on proper use and safety upon graduating high school.

What is military grade? The rifle or the round? If it is the 5.56x45, would a .223 still be legal? What about 7.62x51 vs. .308. For that matter, 7.62x39 is a military round, as is 30-06, 30 carbine and even the 45-70!

I guess that is the problem with politicians spouting platitudes. They want their voters the think they are doing something to warrant votes, even if their solutions make zero sense.

It's certainly worked for Chicago.

Waffle House suspect arrested last year by Secret Service

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.

Unfortunately, Tennessee is one of those state where a stupid little "gunbuster" sign on a door or window has legal authority over your right to self defense.

ONLY...if the proper signage is displayed in accordance with the Tennessee Code Annotated.

If it's not properly displayed in the proper location and it doesn't have TCA approved verbiage verbatim, it has no force of law.

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.
