If Current Laws Had Been Followed, There Would Have Been No Waffle House Shooting

On Monday afternoon, Tennessee law enforcement officers captured a 29-year-old Illinois man suspected of opening fire on diners at a Nashville Waffle House, despite the man having had his firearms seized on multiple occasions in the last two years.

Four people died and several others were wounded by the shooter—who wore nothing but a green jacket—before a customer, also 29, heroically wrestled the firearm away and threw it over a counter. The attacker fled the scene naked and evaded police for over 24 hours before the suspect was apprehended.

As often happens in the aftermath of highly publicized shooting incidents, blame has already been placed on the lack of “common-sense gun control.” But, once again, this blame is misplaced—had already-existing laws been properly followed and enforced, this individual would not have had access to a firearm.

That just shows you how people don't ever understand the underlying meaning... They don't enforce the laws to make it look like they don't work, so they can claim they need more anti-rights laws or anti-gun laws so you have no rights or gun rights... But you people have memory like a fish and forget what you hear and see as soon as you hear or see it... Then you think with yuor emotions, like women do, than to research or get knowledge of the subject at hand,and gladly, happily gratefully give up your rights for fake security... All of this should tell you something!!!! but I won't hold my breath that you will see and understand what the true real reason is for all of this...
