The laws we have failed??? Oh my, let's write some new ones.
Yes! We must make it extra super illegal!!!!
Granted it's CNN, but their article shows the charges were dismissed. So would the son have been a prohibited person? https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/23/us/waffle-house-shooting-manhunt/index.html "He was charged with unlawful entry, but the charges were dismissed after he completed community service."
Per this article he was never adjudicated mentally ill or involuntarily committed. Therefore he was not a federal PP.
If Current Laws Had Been Followed, There Would Have Been No Waffle House Shooting
Why do you hate children?
Another waffle house shooting, but this time a would be robber got shot by a citizen who was carrying http://tribunist.com/news/another-s...-armed-citizen-fought-off-two-armed-bad-guys/
Certainly the guy is insane, but that does not make him any less dangerous. Perhaps they will finally stop the catch and release that put him back on the streets. If his father is the one that resupplied him with guns, that's pretty f'ed up to do that for someone who is known to be a danger to himself and others. Reads as if the parents were in denial so the guy probably didn't have a chance of getting straightened out before going off the deep end and killing people. Also people doing stupid sh!t like giving guns to the dangerously insane just pours gas on the moonbats' anti-2A fire.Nearly naked gunman who shot and killed four people at a Nashville Waffle House is found guilty on all charges after jury rejected his insanity defense
- Travis Reinking, 33, was found guilty on all 16 charges, including four counts each of pre-mediated and first-degree murder, in court on Friday
- The jury will reconvene on Saturday to hear victim impact statements and to decide if he will spend life in prison without or without parole
- Reinking entered a Waffle House in nothing but a green jacket around 3.30am in April 2018 and opened fire with an assault-style weapon, killing four
- He fled the restaurant after James Shaw Jr. wrestled the weapon from him
- His defense tried to convince the jury he had schizophrenia and suffered from delusions, but the claims were not taken seriously
- Prosecutors presented evidence that Reinking was calm and cooperative after his arrest, able to understand and respond to commands
- Shortly before the attack, he believed that someone had drugged him, broken into his apartment and raped him
- In 2017, in Illinois, where he lived at the time, authorities revoked his state firearms owner identification and he handed his weapons over to his father
- The law required Reinking to hand the weapons over to someone with a valid ID. Father would later return the weapons to his son

How could this happen? Waffle Houses have "no guns" signs posted to keep everyone safe.

I have seen such a sign in several states, and never seen a Waffle House without one.I've been in dozens of Waffle Houses in several states. Never once have I seen a no guns sign, and that includes states like TN and TX that have binding signage.
I can list the states if you want, Rob.
Seriously, I've never seen a sign in any of them.

There is an interesting mention of what purports to be their policy in this article What is Waffle House's Gun Policy?.
But, I do not doubt your observation. What the TX sign 30.06/30.07 compliant? 1" Font; specific wording; bilingual. (All required for it to be legally binding).
The Dallas schoolbook depository has a scale model of the compliant 30.06 sign posted on the door. The one place I reliably see compliant signs in TX are hospitals.
Ironic that a Texan has more restrictions on carry than a Ma**h***.
I thought presidential libraries are federal facilities covered by the usual federal ban. Am I mistaken?Texas has very strong private property rights, unlike MA. A private business can post those signs, but public property (with a few exceptions) can not. I can walk onto the UT Austin campus with a firearm. I can go to the LBJ Presidential Library (if I wanted to) while carrying.

A good friend needed a 40 acreish spread in west beegeezus, TX and had a hard time finding land that included mineral rights (otherwise, a gas or oil company would have the right to erect a rig on his property to get their minerals).
