It makes no sense to create an environment such that the patient is prodded into saying whatever they want to a random psychologist who can interpret that subjectively and call the police in to take that person's firearms?
That's not really the way to go about this.

The way to go about it, in this instance, was for the cops to consider all the evidence... such as the chilling videos that the parents alerted them to...such as the killer's mental health history. Putting those two together should have been enough probable cause to search the killer's room and confiscate his weapons.
I am not talking about any isolated incident about a therapist putting words into anyone's mouth. The killer voluntarily produced multiple videos that the police should have taken into consideration...and thus confiscate his guns. Hell I would go further and confiscate any type of weapon in the house, alert all the roommates, and detain that guy for further evaluation...just based on his youtube rantings and history.
