After the shooting at the Waffle House in Tennessee, the authorities gave the shooter's weapons to his father? These were the weapons that were left at the shooter's home! The sheriff say that the father of the shooter took possession of the weapons for safety reasons. Really? I would think that the sheriff would use them as evidence? I'm missing something?

1. The cops gave the dad the guns back after the White House incident,

before the Waffle House shooting.

2. Nope.

The return of the weapons was last year.

The man suspected of killing four people at a Waffle House in Nashville on Sunday was previously arrested by the US Secret Service for trespassing and being in a restricted area near the White House, authorities said. The AR-15 he used in the shooting is believed to be the same one his father returned to him after the FBI seized his weapons.

In July 2017, Travis Reinking told a uniform Secret Service officer that he must get into the White House to speak with the President, according to an arrest report. Reinking told the officer that he had to speak with the President and that he was a “sovereign citizen” who had a right to inspect the grounds.

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.

5. Daddy

Should be charged with murder too. Also those guns should have been destroyed by the police. But guns are sacred and more people are dead.
