Sounds like someone who is meth'd (or more or whatever) out of their mind...perhaps severely mentally ill and off their prescription meds but more likely to be the former.

So, the system breaks down again. Another whacko is sold a firearm that should have been snagged by the system. Only a matter of time before it becomes the guns fault. 3,2,1...

He has the same facial features as the last guy that shot up a school. Born a bit off.

Thoughts and prayers - again.
My condolences to the families of the victims. What a sad day.

Nothing good happens at Waffle House after midnight. It is a drunken freak show magnet.

Well, in this case, at least one of those "drunken freaks" was a freaking hero.....

A patron inside the Antioch, Tenn. restaurant stopped the shooting when he wrestled the gun away. The gunman then fled the restaurant.

Gun legally purchased in Illinois in, I believe, 2011. He was arrested in July of 2017 for entering a restricted area around the White House. As a result, his permit to posses weapons, and the weapon itself, was taken from him by authorities. Sometime between that time and now, the weapons were released to a family member, by law, and he, obviously, was able to access them. The system, apparently, worked as it was designed. Perhaps the design needs to be altered.

Just read that firearms were given to his father and he gave them back to the killer.
I'm sure dad's proud of his boy.....

looks like he took four guns to see President Trump so probably not a fan. the father should go to jail for giving the guns back to the kid. if the kid just took them he should still be in trouble for not telling the police.

Weird how there's a knee-jerk focus on the gun . . . and NOT the Kah-RAzZEE.

We can't talk about you all the time. How about we talk about what I want to talk about for a change...

"There's a gentleman who was in there that when the guy stopped to reload his gun he jumped him," Cordero recalled. "Had that guy reloaded, there was plenty of people in that restaurant that would not have made it home this morning."

Take your whatever comments and go to PARF, if you are too busy to discuss the real story and just want an excuse to peddle an agenda.
Somebody saved a lot of lives, and he didn't do it sitting at his keyboard. You are the one bringing the focus on the gun.
What is the preferred choice of weapons for a Kah-RazZEE anyway ? I'm pretty sure they are drawn to a certain type of skillet, no doubt.

You ever ordered "smothered & covered", and got 'em plain instead? It doesn't take much these daze. That kid's dad is about as clueless as the man the FL hs shooter was living with...he was an idiot too imo...

RIP to the victims....and another everday American HERO emerges. He doesn't think so (just saw him on the news)...but he saved lives.

Seriously, you guys. Here is a mentally ill potential, soon to be actual, killer who had semi automatic guns. He was picked up by the system, the system removed his guns, and then he got them back. Great system. But its also not inconceivable that if he couldn't get those guns, he could have gotten other guns. Its evident that the system cant prevent crazy or unbalanced people from getting them, legally or illegally. So ofcourse what should be focused on are swimming pools and pressure cookers.
