What vetting process -would- or -should- have ruled him out? No charges, no convictions, no declaration that he was unfit. Any of these things would have blipped him at the bc check, contrary to popular belief neither crazy nor criminal can legally purchase or possess a rifle in this country.
In any case, you fail to understand due process. We -do- contend that the accused have a right to face their accuser in this country, and not only that, the right to appeal a ruling. To be legally barred from purchasing or possessing a rifle, under our laws, conditions must be met. It wasn't invented yesterday as an excuse for guns..it's one of the foundations of our justice system. Can you see why a person might be a little unnerved to hear you call it an excuse, and wave it off as though it meant nothing? You're playing into conspiracy theory/fascist left nuts hands when you say shit like that....and then wondering why they say the crazy shit they do. It's like slapping someone in the face repeatedly and then asking, in feigned surprise "umadbro?".
Perhaps they should have consulted the magic 8-ball? Maybe a pre-crime unit? Is that the sort of gun policy you'd find amenable?

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
