Correct me if I'm missing something, but the bill doesn't appear to change much from existing statute.

There isn't an existing statue.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see anything wrong with law enforcement checking records to see if a person being investigated for threats to him/herself or others owns a firearm. That would seem only prudent.

The problem has to do with probative burdens, defendant rights and adjudicated decisions vs opinions.
We saw three people stabbed to death in Santa Barbara by the guy who shot three people to death as well. That guy was being investigated. I am not saying he should have a gun but he accomplished half the murder with a knife. Why is he focus on gun ownership and not on violence generally?
