Oh, and he’s black:
This is James Shaw Jr. He is a hero. His hand was injured when he disarmed Travis Reinking, the reported gunman who opened fire inside an Antioch Waffle House, killing four people in Nashville early Sunday morning: https://t.co/wG8qf49psW via @Tennessean pic.twitter.com/dWNRu6Mc4i

The shooter was previously stopped for trying to enter the White House to meet with Trump:
Let me see if I have this straight.
1) Secret Service busts guy near WH.
2) SS takes guns away and gives them to guy's Dad.
3) Dad gives guns back to kid.
4) Kid shoots up Waffle House.Gun culture is weird, man.

American gun culture writ large: Young man gets arrested at White House. Cops take guns away and give to dad. Dad gives them back to kid–INCLUDING THE ASSAULT RIFLE. Which the kid would use for what? Oh, shoot up a Waffle House a few months later.

A “well regulated militia” or an army might require a military assault-type weapon.
But Joe six pack certainly does not.
Nor do crazy people like Travis Reinking.
