I don't think there was anything in this shooters history that would have been grounds for denying him any rights.

Therein lies the problem, gun ownership/possession should be considered a privilege not a right. Make a stupid Facebook rant? You’re in the “sin bin” til you can prove your comments were a childish rant. Never been diagnosed with a mental illness but you’ve had numerous complaints made to the police about your erratic behaviour or worse police have had to apprehend you under the mental health act, then no guns for you. This is far too important an issue to be laissez faire.
