Trump is wanting to do something unconstitutional, but a law already exists in California that already allows police to seize weapons without concrete evidence, just a gut feeling or bad feelings toward conservative uncle Al is enough.
The sad thing is local law enforcement had plenty of reason to have already legally stopped Nikolas Cruz and to have taken his weapons from him. It was another case where just enforcing existing laws would have prevented a tragedy and proves that another unenforced law won't make us safer.
Nikolas Cruz threatened classmates, posted photos of himself holding guns, made violent statements online and was repeatedly described to authorities as a potential “school shooter.”
His troubling behavior gave law enforcement plenty of opportunities to investigate and arrest him — and even take away his guns — long before he shot up Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland last week, according to interviews with former South Florida prosecutors and legal experts.
In recent years, South Florida police detectives have arrested a slew of young men in unrelated cases who exhibited similar, troubling behavior on a variety of charges. Cops took them seriously.
It never happened with Cruz.

If holding a loaded gun to someones head isn't enough to get a person into a jail cell or committed to a mental institution now, what makes anyone believe that public officials will enforce the new laws after the past shooting becomes old news?
