84. What I pointed out was that a large number of teens threaten people but don't follow

that use with deadly force. I stay with the question of do those teens get restrained for psyche evaluation? If a teen tells a person that he or she is going to kick that person's ass, should that teen be thrown in jail and forced to undergo a psyche evaluation? I would agree that if a teen tells a person that he or she is going to kill the person during the threat then that teen deserves scrutiny. But the issue is did the Colorado teen issue that type of threat and if he did, was it given a level of scrutiny that hindsight now would demand? You want to thread on the thin line of taking rights from a person that shows anger with maybe or maybe not any violent follow up, yet you seem to decry any reasonable attempt to regulate guns so that a potentially homicidal teen doesn't easily get hold of a gun.

One aspect of scrutinizing why a person wants a gun is that allow an experienced professional to get information that can't be gained with gun ownership after a few minutes. You say that the teen may have been intelligent enough to lie through a gun ownership check, but you claimed that the teen has threatened bodily harm before buying the gun. Is it unreasonable to assume that a professional would have talked to people that knew the teen, in particular at his school and uncover the threat, IF the scrutiny had been robust WITH ENOUGH time for the investigator to perform an investigation?
