They couldn't do nothin' because he was a "Good Guy with a Gun" until the moment he opened fire.

Wasn't there a judgement recently that unless they're literally in jail they can't be prevented from owning guns?

yeah, I believe threats would be a misdemeaner in most states, and likely produce a restraining order. Not an automatic disqualification for weapons though.

However, the court could also revoke their right to possess weapons if they felt they were an ongoing threat of violence.

At least thats how it would work in some states, not sure about arizona...
