And what does that solve? No problem has been solved the kid is still dangerous. In the case of premeditated murder the kid just finds another gun and because he's obviously crazy continues his plan. Removing a gun just changes the equation it doesn't touch the problem.
It also brings up an interesting legal problem. If you judge someone so crazy you forcefully remove his property/gun then by leaving that person lose to acquire another gun you have knowingly left a legally dangerous person to commit a crime.
