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.

I'm a little unclear what you mean by "reported to the police" by his parents or psychiatrist, assuming that is even true in either case. Are you suggesting that any person who has ever had a police complaint made against them by another person at any time for any reason should have their Second Amendment rights suspended?
I have no problem with background checks for people to purchase guns but there have to be specific rules in place, like for example, anyone who has ever been convicted of a felony cannot purchase a gun or maybe some other particular criteria. You can't just play Monday Morning Quarterback and say in hindsight, "Well, look, this guy was clearly crazy, he shouldn't have been allowed to purchase a gun.", but then not have a system of rules in place that prevents that. It's disingenuous.
