My friend Paul Harris tweeted the following…

If the FBI believes you're such a threat it takes away all your guns & gives them to your father for safe keeping, but he then he gives them back to you, & you use one of them to kill four people in a Waffle House, then BOTH you and your father should be charged with murder.

I agree. And I'd add that if an unarmed black guy risked his life to take away the shooter's gun and stop him from killing even more people, that unarmed black guy ought to get at least as much recognition and praise as would be heaped on an armed white guy whose actions would buttress the old "good guy with a gun" argument.
