And most importantly, what law or rule is there for taking someone's gun(s) away based on something you consider they should have noticed and determined that's enough to take someone's personal property away?

Any time they do a "mental health check" the first thing they should check for is if they own firearms. In this case the firearms were legally purchased and registered. Isn't there a database they can instantly check?
We have laws that take away someone's right to drive if they aren't competent; There must be some kind of law to take away handguns if they become a nutcase.
There is a common thread here with mass shootings and it's mental health issues and no one doing anything about it. 99.9% of gun owners never have an issue, but we need laws on the books to restrict nut jobs from getting / owning firearms. This should be common sense but it seems it's not, and it's fought by the IRA at ever step.
