and you say he probably wouldn't of been able to purchase the weapon but i bet you he would of. arizona apparently has some of the most relaxed gun laws in the country. i don't know what they are specifically but what kind of background checks to do they do? if its only criminal then nothing would show. i don't think there is a psych database readily available to search against even if they wanted to.

and how many lives would be saved?
and what do you mean by "lives forever ruined" because of a psych evaluation? are you actually saying that they shouldn't be performed because there's a chance that some kids will be tested and declared to be mentally unstable and potentially violent? wow too bad their lives are ruined so they can't go out and buy a gun to shoot 6 people to death?
any psychological references should red flag when someone is buying a weapon. if that's not part of the law in AZ it should absolutely be part of the law.
