It seems like you are implying that if the government knew that the son had a mental illness then they should have not allowed the mother to purchase guns, which seems like a stretch.

Still the fact remains Obama is doing nothing that could have prevented it.
If you made the law stronger around liability it would absolutely make it harder for guns to fall into the wrong hands. The executive action wouldn't fix this but it does start to remedy mental health issues.
