Im not sure I could have restrained myself from blowing the guys brains out with his own gun had I been in the same situation.Agreed, and it's likely a testament to James Shaw's character that he didn't beat the hell out of the shooter while he had the chance.

If he thought the Illuminati were meeting at Waffle House then he is doubly crazy. True. Everyone knows they meet at Marie Calendars. World domination and great pie.

Its not so much that he was clueless, he actively participated by handing those guns back after they were removed for a reason

And virtually everyone have the involvement of SSRI drugs.
When is this going to be recognized?

To: Lazamataz
Personally, I want to know the following:
1) What mental illness was he being treated for?
2) Were SSRIs prescribed to him?
3) What one- or two-degrees of separation, separates him from an FBI contact (like the last four or five shooters).
...
I agree...those are the only Q’s that matter.

I’m a little confused. Why would the Secret Service give a rat’s a$$ if this guy was near a WH? I mean why would the SS care about a WH? There is really something about this story that is off.
To: McGavin999
The seizure of firearms in Illinois was a procedural matter, triggered by the misadventure near the White House. I haven't seen anything on felony convictions or mental health facility commitments with regard to the shooter since then, and his dad may have returned the guns to him when visiting outside of Illinois. I agree that any family member should've been aware that Travis possessing guns was not the best idea, but there's some question about the actual legalities involved.
Kind of like the people clamoring for "red flag" laws following the Broward County, Florida mess - only a few states have them and they can't be retroactively wished into existence. Perhaps the lynch mob should wait for the full story before stringing-up the old man. Now, if someone knows of felony conviction or mental health commitment related to Travis Reinking which would make his possessing firearms in Tennessee illegal, I'll help y'all pick out the tree or lamppost.

I missed a step here.
Forgive me.
At what point did Illinois return the guns?
To the father, or *anyone* for that matter?
I'd think that Illinois would have kept them.

Oh ho HO!!
A shooter known to the FBI and the Secret Service.
He is nothing more than a Deep State agent. He is still on the lam, too.
To: boop
If the guns were his fathers to begin with I would assume they were forced to return them.

Illinois has some procedural loophole where a relative of the listed owner of the firearms can take possession of the guns, as long as the relative has a valid Firearms Owner ID Card. It makes sense in most cases, because often seizures are prompted by red tape - delays in someone getting an FOID renewed, that sort of thing). I'm not sure that Illinois would've permanently withheld the shooter's FOID, based on an out-of-state trespassing charge.
Overall it doesn't seem like a bad provision, though I'll bet it's going to be revised soon.
