The shooter’s Mom didn’t sound the least bit surprised:

If she’d acted on her instincts and sought an involuntary commitment at least he wouldn’t have been able to legally acquire the arms cache.

It’s damn near impossible to get some one committed though. We went from one extreme to it’s opposite in that respect. In California, IIUC, only a medical professional or LEO can petition the court for commitment - not a parent.
