That's fine but not all of them show warning signs. It's easy to say get them mental heath care, but do you have any idea how hard it is to get someone committed? Are we going to go around locking up every person who goes a little nuts or acts strange?
Even if the cops had arrested this kid prior for threats, at best they could hold him for 24 to 48hrs and then what? If he didn't do anything they can't keep him ,locked up..
Even if he were to be put on some ban list for background checks, that only cover ccw's and pistols.. He can still buy a rifle, shot gun, assault rifle or buy from some adverage Joe selling his gun face to face..
