Nashville Police: Waffle House Suspect Had Guns Confiscated After White House Intrusion

Metro Nashville Police say the suspect in Sunday morning's shooting at a Waffle House in Antioch had his guns confiscated last year after being caught inside a restricted area at the White House.

Travis Reinking, 29, is still at large, and police he still may have two guns in his possession. Police believe he fled on foot and remains shirtless but is now wearing pants.

Law enforcement shared more details of the shooting and what they've learned about Reinking at a press conference Sunday afternoon.

They confirmed that Reinking used an AR-15 rifle to kill four people and wound two others. That's even though Reinking had his right to possess firearms revoked in Illinois last year. Law enforcement in Tazewell County, Ill., confiscated four guns at the time but returned them to his father, who says he gave them back to Reinking.

Police: Suspect in Waffle House killings had guns confiscated, but family returned them to him

Authorities in Tazewell County, Illinois, and the FBI interviewed Reinking, Aaron said. At the FBI’s request, Reinking’s Illinois firearms authorization was revoked, and four weapons — including the AR-15 used in the Sunday’s shooting — were seized, Aaron said.

Tazwell County authorities later returned the guns to Reinking’s father, who acknowledged giving them back to his son, Aaron said.

Authorities so far have recovered two weapons, including one found Sunday at Reinking’s apartment, Aaron said. But they are concerned he may have two other weapons that were not found in his home.



 
Wouldn't piss me off if daddy was named as an accomplice

Didn't you get the memo?

Disarming law abiding, nonviolent citizens causes criminals to stop murdering people.

Don't you see how that works? Sheesh.:20:

Congratulations on finally finding a link anyway.

Well, thank God it's not the gun's fault, hey?

The ERPO laws needed to be in effect in Illinois, I read.
Why was he naked? Dad got any ideas?

YOU are the people who scream bloody murder every time anyone proposes taking guns away from "law abiding citizens." Which from what you've posted so far, he was until he wandered into the wrong bathroom at the WH, apparently. Law enforcement, including the Secret Service and the FBI, are bound by laws. Those laws remain completely on the side of the gun owner and that is how you like it, so
HOW DARE YOU criticize anyone for following the laws you insist protect our American freedom?

He wasn't law abiding....as we know from his arrest by the Secret Service and the FBI taking his guns.....

No...it is idiots like you who insist that the owners of 8 million AR-15 civilian rifles who didn't shoot anyone should have their guns taken away, while the police, the ones you say should decide these things, keep allowing the dangerous people to get guns...

Well, I don't see how you can argue this both ways. Stand your ground without hiding behind the cops, whose hands are tied behind their backs because of people like you.

I said, you haven't provided any evidence that he did anything prior to the WH incident which led to his arrest. The fact that the police gave the guns back to the father, though, is interesting considering the guy is in his late twenties. What was that all about?
 
"law abiding citizens." Which from what you've posted so far, he was

I just read the details of his run in at the White House that got him on the Secret Service's radar. He's got to be some kind of wacked out. He crossed into the secured area of the White House and was asked to leave. When he didn't, they took him into custody. He said he was there to make an appointment with the president.

Yeah. There's a guy you want to REARM.
They disarmed him--good job.
They then REARMED him--ARE YOU F#CKING CRAZY???

Yes...they screwed up...but he owners of over 8 million AR-15 civilian rifles need to give them up.......that is how stupid the anti gunners are.

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD PROVIDE SOME LINKS AROUND HERE.
I'm not crazy. Why do you think they gave them back? Because they couldn't LEGALLY keep them, perhaps? Besides, you are ignoring the fact that they returned the guns to his FATHER, not to him. Daddy should be in trouble, unless he's as shit house crazy as his son. Which could be.

he was a law-abiding AR-15 owner until today, that's the thing.

He wasn't convicted of a crime, therefore he couldn't have his Gun Rights taken away.

Kind of the problem when you call gun ownership a "Right".
 
This one is on the SS, state cops and the Dad. The family is also on the hook for not making sure this nut--their nut was in a loony bin somewhere drugged up and under supervision.

You just can't prove to the world your crazy and irresponsible any better than breaching the White House grounds. That's a one strike and you're out stunt when it comes to owning a firearm.

Sorry. Here you go:

In July 2017, the U.S. Secret Service arrested Reinking for being in a "restricted area" near the White House, according to the Secret Service.

"He wanted to set up a meeting with the president," said Secret Service representative Todd Hudson.

After the arrest, his Illinois firearms authorization was revoked and local Illinois police seized four weapons.


"Among the weapons seized by those authorities was the AR-15 rifle used at the Waffle House today," said Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron at a Sunday afternoon news conference.

On Aug. 24, 2017, sheriffs deputies in Tazewell County, Illinois took a state-issued card from Reinking that Illinois requires for someone to own a weapon. During a Sunday news conference streamed online, Tazewell County Sheriff Robert M. Huston said Reinking volunteered to give up his four weapons.


However, Reinking's father was present when those deputies came to confiscate the guns, Huston said. The father had a valid state authorization card and asked the police if he could keep the weapons. Deputies gave Reinking's father the weapons, Huston said.

"He was allowed to do that after he assured deputies he would keep them secure and away from Travis," Huston said, referring to Reinking's father.

But again, when you call gun ownership a "right", you really can't take them away from people, can you?

Maybe we should stop treating it as a "right", and actually make people prove they can be trusted, instead of relying on "Shoulda, woulda, coulda" after the fact.

Okay. So it sounds like the failure here is "Gun Ownership as a Right". Dad didn't do anything wrong. Adam Lanza's mother didn't do anything wrong.

Gun ownership is a right. You want that changed, amend the Constitution.

People’s rights can be taken away & in this case, was due to cause. It’s called due process. If you are arrested, your ability to go where you want is revoked for example.

I wouldn't mind doing that, but there are a whole bunch of other things we can do to get common sense gun control without doing that.

"Well Regulated Militia"... that seems to allow for a whole lot of regulations on gun owners, sellers and manufacturers.

Except in this case, his dad hadn't been arrested, so his right to own those guns (they were probably his to start with) wasn't restricted.
