Do agree he should have never been allowed access to a gun though. If u show up at the FBI and say crazy stuff that should be a red flag right there.

Legally you can not prohibit someone from owning again until they are adjudicated mentally ill - which takes years persistence, and still unlikely
The FBI did what they could within the law , with the data they had
it is just so not that easy to go to the next level of adjudicated mental - it is about stipping someone of their rights
it is no different than what many believe about guns and stuff
judges just dont do it
if that is not the case the FBI or anyone c annot prohibit him from having a gun, invol comment unless he is an active in the moment threat to self or someone else
if you think he might harm somebody in the future -- useless- that it is why he ended up invol -- he did not go in the FBI office threatening anything
he was asking for help -- one cannot be committed for that - he has to be menacing in the here and now -- if not he can not be invol committed
they did a great job getting him to vol admit
ithat says tons about where he was -- scared of himself he was threatening no one
that is how it is they did what they could at that time nothing - that is why by law they had to return the gun
how the system works
