The problem as pointed out by professionals is that we do not have the tech to really identify dangerous individuals without a tremendous number of false positives that are done with good will or maliciously by antigun medical and mental health professionals. The truly delusional might be spotted but that's about it.

Both shooters in the sandyhook and aurora incidents were well known to have serious mental problems. The aurora guy was recognized as disturbed. The sandyhook kid was being "undertreated" by a completely delusional parent who was in denial about the severity of his problems.
Point is, these were not "healthy" kids who went bad without any indication or warning, these were disturbed kids.
IMHO, this country is leaning way too far to the side of protecting the "rights" of the mentally ill when states are refusing to report potentially dangerous people or do any follow up.
