The worst case of mass murder on a campus in US history was down played by the media, possibly because the school (Va. Tech Blacksburg) and the local police were so negligent. The shooter had been undergoing psychiatric care but a glitch in Va. law prevented the name check to reveal a medical condition because of privacy concerns even when the shooter was buying a gun. (I believe the glitch has been corrected). The local police had reasonable cause to arrest the shooter well before the tragedy but they let him go even though there were complaints by woman that they were being stalked. The school never went into lockdown even when the first body was discovered and the police were interviewing witnesses while the gumnman was killing people on the other side of campus. The point is that anyone suffering from a psychiatric disorder including Veterans who claim PTSS should automatically have their firearms confiscated until a hearing certifies that they are not a danger to society.
Should?
Now the goalpost is moving. The standard for involuntary hold is "danger to self and others" The VaTech shooter clearly had homicidal ideations that would have been an indication for a detainment and psych hold if they had put everything together.
Furthermore, the VT shooter was most likely psychotic, a condition that is not inherent to most mood or anxiety disorders (like PTSD).
Pulling firearms away from everyone undergoing any sort of psychiatric treatment is stupid and illegal.
