All of these cases have the same thing in common - mental health issues. There was massive warning signs yet no one said "It might not be a good idea for you to have firearms". Instead, we handed them firearms.

The police who investigated the guy had the option to 5150 (involuntary psychiatric hold) him, which btw, is a cali statute only and only for 72 hours, etc., but after evaluating him they did not.
again, presuming they did their jobs, they saw nothing that warranted a 5150, the point about confiscating his guns is moot at that point.
