Being that the media are now reporting that the Dallas killer attended a tactical shooting course, I'm wondering if the gun community should be worrying that such instruction will be the next target of the antis.
He participated in a "tactical applications program" ("TAP") at the Academy of Combative Warrior Arts in the Dallas suburb of Richardson about two years ago.
I'm sure the reputable schools vet their students, but they wouldn't have found anything on him -- he received an honorable discharge from the Army despite their prior recommendation that he should receive an other than honorable discharge, although the attorney who represented him said "Someone really screwed up".
As far as I have seen the Army did not train him for combat, he did other work while enlisted.
Thoughts?
