Let me give you a LEO (retired) view on this. There ARE nuts out there, some of them have access to guns, knives, gasoline, chemicals, etc. There are also a lot of ninnies out there that are scared to death of everything under the sun. I had a co-worker shot in the belly with a 30-06 rifle at about 10 feet by one of the nuts our wonderful mental health system turned loose and never told LE anything about. HIPPA don'tcha know. There is a time and place for "Red Flag" type laws to be used, but there has to be a system in place to use it properly and a system in place for the accused to get a fair and impartial hearing to get his property back if he's been falsely accused. At this point, those systems are muddled up with political rhetoric and game playing, sensationalized news reports, social media driven fear and drama queen type hysteria and a good deal of gov't over reach in some cases. This poor guy may be a victim of a well intentioned law that's been misused or of an accusation that is overblown or incorrect, or he may be a nut that could have done something terrible. All you have is a news story, a picture of the guy when he obviously wasn't at his best and whole lot of hyperbole and assumption by the commenters here. In short, we know just about zilch as far as what actually happened!
This is why people need to take a step back and consider a bit more than just what the news tells you think about EVERYTHING under the sun these days.
