Nashville Mayor David Briley wants “weapons of war” off the streets?\u00a0 Does he realize that AR-15s aren’t taken into combat?\u00a0 (Photo: Facebook<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Nashville Mayor David Briley is demanding \u201ccomprehensive gun reform\u201d in the wake of a mass murder that left four people dead in a Nashville-area Waffle House early Sunday morning. Calling the type of rifle used in the shooting a \u201cweapon of war,\u201d he claims that the purpose of AR-15s is to \u201cterrorize.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be honest about what happened. The citizens of Nashville were terrorized last night by a man with an AR15. That is the purpose of these weapons,\u201d Briley said in a Facebook<\/a> post. \u201cIf we all come together on this for the greater good, we can take weapons of war off the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

Briley\u2019s response contrasts with the man who actually stopped the murderer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI figured if I was going to die, he was going to have to work for it,\u201d James Shaw, Jr., told reporters Sunday.<\/p>\n

Nashville police said that Shaw waited for the murderer to reload, then rushed the man and wrestled the rifle away from him. After Shaw threw the firearm over the counter, the suspect fled the scene.<\/p>\n

Rather than calling for gun control reform, Shaw has used his newfound notoriety to start a GoFundMe<\/a> page for the families of the four victims. The page has raised nearly $25,000 as of Monday morning, and Shaw told CNN<\/a> that he would love to speak with the families and \u201cknow that you\u2019re OK.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s four families that are grieving right now,\u201d he said. \u201cSo much life was lost for no reason. I feel like it could be very selfish of me if I didn’t point it out. And I apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw wants people to know that he doesn\u2019t believe he\u2019s a hero.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t want people to think that I was the Terminator or Superman or anybody like that,\u201d he told reporters, adding, “I did that completely out of a selfish act. I was completely doing it just to save myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to gun control, Shaw shied away from supporting the kind of \u201ccomprehensive reform\u201d Briley is demanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope we can bring violence in all facets — not just gun violence, but all facets of violence — to an end,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Travis J. Reinking, reportedly entered the Waffle House wearing nothing but a green jacket and carrying an AR-15. Authorities now believe he is the same man who was arrested near the White House last July when he crossed a security barrier in pursuit of a meeting with President Trump.<\/p>\n

The FBI asked local police to seize Reinking\u2019s firearms after that incident, and they were given to his father.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was allowed to do that after he assured deputies that he would keep them secure and away from Travis,\u201d Sheriff Robert M. Huston of Tazewell County said in a\u00a0news conference on Sunday<\/a>. \u201cWe have no information about how Travis came back into possession of those firearms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reinking exhibited troubling behavior even before the shooting, expressing a belief that Taylor Swift was stalking him and hacking his phone and Netflix account, according to the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even though laws already exist that bar the mentally ill from owning firearms, and despite the fact that Reinking has been barred from possessing his firearms, Nashville Mayor David Briley still believes more gun control will stop future mass murders.<\/p>\n

\u201cTragedies like today should not happen,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is our second mass shooting in seven months. We need comprehensive gun reform to address mass shootings, domestic shootings, accidental shootings, and homicides.\u201d<\/p>\n
