As more is becoming known about Travis Reinking, the suspect wanted for murdering four people in a Nashville area Waffle House this morning, we’re hearing a familiar refrain. Reinking was well known to both federal and state authorities.
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. After the arrest, his Illinois firearms authorization was revoked and local Illinois police seized four weapons.
The firearms were given back to his family.
“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.
Police believe Reinking’s father received the weapons after their confiscation, and returned them to his son. Nashville Police Chief Steve Anderson said he believes under Illinois law, guns seized can be returned to someone who has a valid state authorization.
Reinking is still on the loose and police believe he may be armed. According to an NPR report, the only reason the number of casualties this morning wasn’t higher was that Reinking’s rifle jammed.
A Waffle House patron who saw that the gunman was “apparently struggling or looking at” with his rifle, and took advantage of the moment by “rushing him,” wresting the gun away and throwing it behind the counter – prompting the gunman to leave.
Why on earth would law enforcement want to cover up evidence like that for all to see?
The speed at which FB accounts disappear when there’s a mass shooting makes me think FB is the one doing the deleting.
IF the father gave him the seized firearms and one of them was used, he should prosecuted.
“Police believe Reinking’s father received the weapons after their confiscation, and returned them to his son.“
Needs to be thrown in jail for life
I doubt law enforcement had it deleted.

James Shaw, the hero who wrestled the gun away from the madman, meanwhile can’t sleep because he feels bad because he couldn’t save more.

Mirror hours. A time for reflection.
Biggest failure is his father. He is as much responsible for the deaths as his son. What a worthless POS
Dennys= restaurant of the damned.

How much of your life did you waste posting that
Probably because there is no real reason everyone needs to see it. And other people might have access as well.
It would be a "Deep State" kind of very deep cover.
Actually, I would say they do especially with the way LE and the FBI have been covering up events as of late. We need full disclosure and transparency.
Further proof that “gun control” will be strictly enforced by competent LEO
(See my Tagline)
Soon, comments like this will be enough for some to call for gun confiscation.
I wondered if this guy had been known to the FBI or law enforcement when I read another post about the shooting today. I figured if he was it would come out in the days ahead. Thanks for posting this.

That tough Illinois gun control really worked didn’t it? /s
