Some will point out that Rodger passed background checks and purchased his Glock 34 and SIG Sauers weapons legally. That simply suggests that we should made it much more difficult for people to purchase assault weapons.
In fact, a Rasmussen Reports survey in December revealed that 59 percent of likely US voters think there should be a ban on the purchase of semi-automatic and assault-type weapons. Only 33 percent disagree.

At the point when he was reported by a psychiatrist and his parents to the Police, I think that should put him on a watch list at the very least (the rules for gun ownership are too lax currently).
A person can't buy/possess simple fireworks in the County where I reside, but they can quite easily walk into a gun dealer and purchase enough weapons and ammo to wreak total havoc and destroy numerous lives if they were so inclined.
