Had Florida LE been allowed and required to conduct personal interviews with friends/family/neighbors concerning the hidden history of prospective permit holders, that information would have come out.

In the sane gun states, that would have been enough to (properly) deny him a permit. Then he would have had to try to his luck obtaining his weapons on the black market. Any attempt at doing so might have (not guaranteed, but might have) ended up in total failure, resulting in him getting caught by LE before this massacre took place.
