I know you aren't suggesting that, but it comes down to ruling out tragedies. Guns are NOT a necessary part of life. When someone is deemed mentally unstable, or has a history of violence; they should be removed. The police have a full plate already, but someone has to "serve and protect", and it seems like the duty falls to them, again.

Better safe than sorry. The sorry is a terrible price to have some innocent persons pay.
