But the police would not be basing it exclusively on pseudo-science. They would be basing their confiscation powers on other factors as well...like the killer plainly saying he wants to kill himself and other people.
No one is arguing that guns should be confiscated based only on a psychologist's recommendation. There are other factors that should be considered. And in this particular case I think there were enough factors to warrant the police confiscating the killer's guns.
