Waffle House shooting, at least 4 killed

[easyt65]

Ok, got more of the info.

The FBI did take this kid's guns....then returned them to his dad. His dad then gave his son back several of the weapons, to include the AR-15. They live / lived in Illinois. The kid then went to Tennessee where he / they were legal. He then shot up the Waffle House.

GHow much trouble do you think the father is going to be in, gioving his son back the weapons, to include the murder weapon?

the truth of the matter is all racists hide under the republican banner IF you're not one of them be proud that they're on your side I'm through with the subject

Even you're not dumb enough to not grasp that obviously you're not interested in any real discussion on the subject when you keep posting stupid crap like this.

Explains the low number of numbers on your paycheck, doesn't it?

I just heard the guy who took the gun away from the shooter.

He said he didn't want to be considered a hero, because the reason he went to disarm the shooter is because HE wanted to get out alive. He said that although it was a noble act, it was done for selfish reasons because he wanted to live.

Doesn't really matter much to me though, because he still took the gun away and probably saved a couple of people, even if he was doing it for his own self interests.

Gotta admire the dude for his honesty.

It’s the Sully affect . Save your own ass and declared a hero!

Well Sully saved everybody's azz as well as his own.

Great USAF pilot.

A better USAF pilot than Sully there never was.

Perhaps, but the first female fighter pilot who landed this Southwest airliner did a pretty good job too.

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

Just like any other bed wetter's thread, this is bullshit.

Mass shootings happen daily in Mexico, with some of the world's strictest gun control you stupid, servile, ignorant piece of shit.

If guns kept you safe, the US would be the safest country in the world. And it isn’t. It’s not even in the top 50, being ranked 84th according to the World Economic Forum

The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S.
By James Slack
UPDATED:18:14 EST, 2 July 2009

Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it has been revealed.

Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries.

The figures comes on the day new Home Secretary Alan Johnson makes his first major speech on crime, promising to be tough on loutish behaviour.

The U.S. has a violence rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, Canada 935, Australia 920 and South Africa 1,609.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: 'This is a damning indictment of this government's comprehensive failure over more than a decade to tackle the deep rooted social problems in our society, and the knock on effect on crime and anti-social behaviour.

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.

Where is the info, that he had been stopped near the White house with a weapon?

Amazing what is happening to the youth of today ?? The root of these problems must be found, remedied, and solved quickly.

If liberalism/leftist culture has created this stuff, then it needs to be known or found out in order to change this stuff quickly. If conservatism is at fault, then that needs to be researched and solved as well.

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.

Bullshit.

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

List of countries by intentional homicide rate - Wikipedia

Switzerland REQUIRES all members of society to own a gun,lowest gun crime rate in the world,Honduras BANS guns highest crime rate in the world. Nuff said. Homogeneous societies with guns are VERY safe places. The gun laws STOPPED this clown his idiotic and now criminally liable parents gave the guns BACK to him! The gun laws did their job his guns were taken from him as they should have been.

How much you wanna bet the shooter was on an SSRI antidepressant?

They nearly all are.

But we shouldn’t talk about that, the left loves Big Pharma.

 

[Markle]

Also puts the lie to the notion that the ONLY thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.

It takes an enormous amount of bravery for an unarmed man to go after a shooter like that.

What Do CDC’s Surveys Say About the Frequency of Defensive Gun Uses?

12 Pages Posted: 26 Feb 2018

Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice

Date Written: February 14, 2018

Abstract
In 1996, 1997, and 1998, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted large-scale national surveys asking about defensive gun use (DGU). They never released the findings, or even acknowledged they had studied the topic. I obtained the unpublished raw data and computed the prevalence of DGU. CDC’s findings indicated that an average of 2.46 million U.S. adults used a gun for self-defense in each of the years from 1996 through 1998 – almost exactly confirming the estimate for 1992 of Kleck and Gertz (1995). Possible reasons for CDC’s suppression of these findings are discussed.

Another day and another mass shooting.

So basically, anything involving more than two people now is a "mass shooting?" Maybe they don't serve waffles at 3AM. Dude is running around naked to make it easy for the coroner. He will turn out to be another Left-leaning kook.

By definition, anything shooting with three or more victims are mass shootings and always have been. Guess you’re too stupid to google that.

There were 437 mass shootings in the US last year, but most were on private property and involved family members so they didn’t make the national news.

Wrong...obama changed the definition from 4 down to 3 to increase the number that qualified. And no, family killings and killings that involve actual crime besides the mass shooting do not count as mass public shootings...there is a different motive in the different crimes and the FBI files them accordingly....

Please...try not to pull crap out of your ass, it isn't pretty or accurate.

Obama didn’t change the number from 4 to 3. That was done by an act of Congress in 2013. Republicans controlled Congress in 2013.

Democrats held the Senate, Republicans controlled the House.

Criminals, engaged in criminal activity in the U.S.....? Murdered 11,004 people in 2016....

Yorkshire sees highest number of crimes for any county in Britain according to figures

“In particular we’re shocked to see an increase of nearly 30 per cent in weapon possession offences between 2016 and 2017.”

Crimes covered violent and sexual offences, vehicle theft, public order offences, possession of weapons, shoplifting, personal theft, drug crimes, robbery, criminal damage, bicycle thefts and anti-social behaviour.

Culture of violence: Gun crime goes up by 89% in a decade | Daily Mail Online

The latest Government figures show that the total number of firearm offences in England and Wales has increased from 5,209 in 1998/99 to 9,865 last year - a rise of 89 per cent.

The number of people injured or killed by guns, excluding air weapons, has increased from 864 in 1998/99 to a provisional figure of 1,760 in 2008/09, an increase of 104 per cent .

Crime rise is biggest in a decade, ONS figures show

Ministers will also be concerned that the country is becoming increasingly violent in nature, with gun crime rising 23% to 6,375 offences, largely driven by an increase in the use of handguns.

Gun crime in London increases by 42% - BBC News

Gun crime offences in London surged by 42% in the last year, according to official statistics.

Top trauma surgeon reveals shocking extent of London’s gun crime

A leading trauma surgeon has told how the number of patients treated for gunshot injuries at a major London hospital has doubled in the last five years.

----

He said the hospital’s major trauma centre had seen a bigger rise in gunshot injuries compared to knife wounds and that the average age of victims was getting younger.

-----

Last year, gun crime offences in London increased for a third year running and by 42 per cent, from 1,793 offences in 2015/16 to 2,544 offences in 2016/17. Police have seized 635 guns off the streets so far this year.

Dr Griffiths, who also teaches medical students, said: “Our numbers of victims of gun injury have doubled [since 2012]. Gunshot injuries represent about 2.5 per cent of our penetrating trauma.

-----

Dr Griffiths said the average age of gun crime victims needing treatment at the hospital had decreased from 25 to the mid to late teens since 2012.

He added that medics at the Barts Health hospital’s major trauma centre in Whitechapel had seen a bigger rise in patients with gun injuries rather than knife wounds and that most were caused by pistols or shotguns.

Met Police commander Jim Stokley, who was also invited to speak at the meeting, said that handguns and shotguns were the weapons of choice and that 46 per cent of London’s gun crime discharges were gang-related.

He said: “We believe that a lot of it is associated with the drugs trade, and by that I mean people dealing drugs at street level and disagreements between different gangs.”

Violent crime on the rise in every corner of the country, figures suggest

But analysis of the figures force by force, showed the full extent of the problem, with only one constabulary, Nottinghamshire, recording a reduction in violent offences.

The vast majority of police forces actually witnessed double digit rises in violent crime, with Northumbria posting a 95 per cent increase year on year.

Of the other forces, Durham Police recorded a 73 per cent rise; West Yorkshire was up 48 per cent; Avon and Somerset 45 per cent; Dorset 39 per cent and Warwickshire 37 per cent.

Elsewhere Humberside, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Wiltshire and Dyfed Powys all saw violence rise by more than a quarter year on year.


The U.S., 600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense.......

We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...


-- gun murder down 49%

--gun crime down 75%

--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

And the man who saved lives was a black man a hero ........sorry republican racists

And his name was James Shaw, race has nothing to do with it.

Nothing??? What if the killer was black or a muslim?? race would have nothing to do with it??? Can't you say it?? The black guy is a hero??

Muslim is not a race.

Cool. I'm not a racist after all.

ok but I'm sure you have many other endearing qualities lol

It doesn't matter. Plenty of innocent by standers are killed during the gunfights in mexico. Thousands of innocent people are kidnapped and murdered because they can not own a handgun and at least make the criminal gangs work for it.

The media isn't helping matters by sensationalizing these events to push an anti-gun agenda either. All it does is inspire these assholes.

A 29-year-old guy, naked, starts shooting through the windows from the parking lot at 3:30 in the morning and the discussion is about his GUN?

The guy had been arrested by the Secret Service for having four guns in a restricted area near the White House in July 2017 and the discussion is about his GUN?

The guns confiscated at his arrest were returned to his father, who returned the guns to the shooter and the discussion is about his GUN?

He had complained previously to police that voices were screaming at him and that he was being stalked by singer Tailor Swift and the discussion is about his GUN?

Come on anti-gun nuts, at least make some effort to at least appear sincere!
