If this guy was committing Federal crimes why was he allowed to own a weapon?

God damn these shootings and the assholes who do them. Curse their #ing lives.
Strangely enough, there is an american Dad episode called "Cock of the Sleepwalk" where Stan eventually has to take out a Belgian terrorist who tries to kill everyone in an Ihop, talking about how they desecrated the waffle.
The terrorist even looks kind of like this shooter.
Of course, all of the videos on youtube showing this are already gone.

guess the feds are there because of his arrest after trying to get into a restricted area at the Whitehouse
Travis Reinking, 29, of Morton, Illinois, allegedly was wearing only a green jacket when he opened fire at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday on a Waffle House at 3571 Murfreesboro Pike in Antioch outside Nashville. Reinking, who moved to Tennessee in the fall, was arrested in July 2017 for entering a restricted area near the White House, a Secret Service official said Sunday. He was asked to leave, but declined, wanting to set up a meeting with the president. He was arrested for unlawful entry.
According to the FBI, Reinking legally owned firearms in Illinois and had a carry permit in the state. The FBI coordinated with the Illinois State Police and Tazwell County authorities to suspend the license and confiscate the weapons. FBI officials said the weapons were turned over to Reinking's father because he could legally possess them under Illinois law. Police said at some point, Reinking got the guns back. Officials with the Secret Service said that Reinking was detained by the Secret Service in July 2017 after he crossed a security border near The White House complex. According to Reporter Dalaun Dillard, from our sister station in Peoria, the Reinking family owns a crane rental business in the area. Neighbors say he was raised in a "really good Christian home." They have not seen him in several months.

But this Waffle House shooting doesn't add up. I'm sure we're all guessing hes a meth head.
Travis Reinking, the 29-year-old suspect in Sunday morning’s mass shooting at a Waffle House restaurant in Antioch, Tennessee, may have believed in a widespread conspiracy theory popular on the far right-wing of the political spectrum, based on a Youtube video that appears to have been the final status update Reinking posted on his Facebook page. Reinking, originally of Morton, Illinois — a suburb of Peoria — is believed by authorities to be the man who entered the Waffle House at about 3:30 Sunday morning clad only in a green jacket, opening fire on customers and employees with an AR-15 rifle, according to a report by WLS-TV News in Chicago, Illinois. Little else is currently known about Reinking, who is described as a white male about 6-feet, 4-inches in height and weighing 180 pounds, according to the Tennessean newspaper. Other media reports said that Reinking, at some point prior to the shooting, had some sort of contact with the FBI, but the nature of that encounter was not clear.
