The AR-15 style rifle listed: the same weapon used in Sunday's Waffle House shooting

[stanc]

If you dislike the "No Firearms" policy of Waffle House, there's a very simple way to avoid being unarmed: Don't go there to eat.

Heh, heh. If that bozo wants to make a store liable for injury inflicted by a third party on customers who freely and willingly choose to patronize the business, then he should expand his bill to include businesses that don't install bulletproof windows. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post...1274145c02

Guys:

OK -- the police were probably incompetent, and the guys father needs some prison time if he gave the weapons back to his son.

Either tell me what this has to do with the 2A or this will be another 2A thread that ends.

LR1955,

This is how I see it: Shootings where the perpetrator uses an AR-15-type weapon, such as the Waffle House shooting, bring us ever closer to an "Assault Weapons" ban: Two Ohio senators propose statewide ban on assault weapons (http://fox8.com/2018/02/21/two-ohio-sena...t-weapons/).

We've been there, before: Once Banned, Now Loved and Loathed: How The AR-15 Became 'America's Rifle' (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/03/us/po...rifle.html

And, considering, too: 6.5 Grendel: The World's Tier One AR Cartridge, it behooves us to keep abreast of such shootings. Moreover, Room 2A is the only place on our Forum where such issues can be discussed.

SAS:

Thanks but I don't think anyone learned of this shooting via the 2A forum.

And, what does police incompetence in this case, or Waffle House's business policy on being armed in their restaurant have to do with the 2A?

Sure, I will leave it open for now but it needs to focus on the 2A.
