Fox News only listed the most recent event and they listed that the local police took them at the behest of the FBI. What neither FNC nor CNN made clear is that legally, these firearms were never taken away. As I understand the CNN article, the FBI requested that the guns be confiscated but that the local police in Illinois did not think that they had legal authority to actually confiscate the weapons.
As an adult in his late 20's, if those guns were purchased by Travis Reinking then his father had zero legal authority to keep the guns from him. He actually had less authority than the police who at least were acting on a request from federal law enforcement authorities. I do not know if the father is legally responsible for any crime at this point. Back when I thought that his guns had been legally confiscated there is a chance that the father was guilty of something had he given the weapons to someone who he knew was not legally allowed to have them. If proceedings were never taken to deny Travis of his right to bear arms then he may have been in legal possession of those weapons. I would have to check the TN and IL laws on that. Florida just passed a law that increases the power of law enforcement to confiscate and hold the weapons of the mentally ill. That appears to be what was needed here.

America's gun culture is a Southern gun culture. Sons learn from the Daddies. A Dad teaching his son to hunt is one of the icons in the Southern myth. This Dad wasn't up to the job. |

Police said Reinking had his Illinois gun license revoked last year at the request of the FBI and four of his weapons were seized by authorities in Tazewell back in October. https://www.infowars.com/waffle-house-gunman-who-is-at-large-with-a-gun-killed-four-with-an-ar-15-that-was-confiscated-by-the-fbi-in-july/ WAFFLE HOUSE GUNMAN WHO IS AT LARGE WITH A GUN KILLED FOUR WITH AN AR-15 THAT WAS CONFISCATED BY THE FBI IN JULY He tried to jump White House fence and ‘set up a meeting with Donald Trump’ Daily Mail - APRIL 23, 2018 373 Comments ![]()

With better gun control, the shooter would not have had his AR-15 grabbed out of his hands....We need more gun control......... :oyvey |

GA, I don't know if you are aware of this or not but Illinois is not a southern state. Edited by Demagogue, Apr 23 2018, 06:52 PM.

Illinois is a state with a very big cultural difference between Chicago and the Kentucky border. Take Route 70 some day from Chesterfield to Terre Haute and see what I mean. I appreciate your willingness to help me out with geography and it is in that spirit that I return the favor. |
