Because in New York he was reported from a military base and they removed him from the base. They had no knowledge of what he may or may not have had in Maine.
I'm trying, but it's an emotional subject that people don't want to look at too closely. They want easy answers and there really aren't any. :(
The best bet is to assume stuff like "ban guns" or "ban semi-automatic rifles" can't happen, and start looking at what CAN happen if we want real change.
How did New York know he left all his firearms at home?

I wasn't aware that he went to the mental health facility straight from a military installation.
Yeah, because other folks in his unit reported him.
Thanks for the info. I think you've made some really good points about this, and trying to explain things to people.
