Mr Reinking was not armed at the time, but at the FBI's request, state police in Illinois revoked his state firearms card and seized four guns from him, authorities said.
Odd that you don't know the smacking difference between confiscation and seizure of a weapon. If confiscation were true the guns that the police seized from Reinking would have never been returned to him or his father. So go bugger yourself. You should stop treating your bong like it's a 3rd lung. Quote:Months before the shooting in Tennessee, Reinking was arrested in Washington, DC, after the Secret Service caught him trying to access a restricted area of the White House, prompting police in his home state of Illinois to seize his guns.At a press conference Monday, FBI special agents pushed back on whether authorities let Reinking slip through the cracks after the White House incident, stating that "every federal resource was brought to bear" in evaluating him and "neutralize what they felt was the threat at the time by ensuring that he did not have the ability to purchase weapons and that those weapons were taken."Due to his 2017 arrest, Illinois authorities, at the request of the FBI, confiscated his weapons and revoked a state identification card given to firearms owners, officials said. The Tazewell County Sheriff's Office said Sunday that its officers removed four guns from Reinking's home in August, but gave the weapons to Reinking's father, Jeffrey Reinking, an authorized gun owner, at the elder Reinking's request.At some point, Reinking's father gave the weapons back to his son, including the AR-15 that police said was used in Sunday's attack.A Tazewell County Sheriff report from Aug. 24, 2017, documented the confiscation of a Kimber 9mm handgun, a Bushmaster AR-15, a CZ-USA .22-caliber rifle, a Remington 710, and some ammunition. "The weapons and ammo were released to Jeffrey Reinking, which holds a valid FOID [Firearm Owners Identification] card. Jeffrey was advised that he needed to keep the weapons secure and away from Travis," an officer noted in the report. "Jeffrey stated he would comply."On Monday, officials confirmed that Reinking's father was being investigated for possibly violating federal gun laws by giving the weapons back to his son.
"He should not have had guns in Tennessee," said Marcus Watson, acting special agent in charge with the ATF in Tennessee, explaining that, "if you transfer weapons knowingly to a person that is prohibited, that could potentially be a violation of federal law."
He added that "all federal departments are looking" at Jeff Reinking to see if he violated a federal crime.]https://www.buzzfeed.com/briannasacks/this-is-what-we-know-about-the-suspected-w... The father should face charges for violating federal laws in giving his son this gun.
