I assume there is a process for getting your gun licence and your firearms back if it has been revoked.
He had to attend a anger management course.
If that is part of some criteria for getting his guns back, and he was deemed to have successfully passed the course, then no person is to blame, but the system needs to be looked at and changed.
I don’t think currently a person’s social media history is taken into consideration. Not sure how you would do it, but perhaps it should.

// You don’t need to belong to a club and you don’t have to be a farmer. Anyone who meets the required criteria, ie police and medical checks can obtain a licence. //
The maybe its time the criteria was adjusted.
I always quote Ben Elton where guns are concerned - If you ask someone if they would like to have a gun, and they say yes, they should automatically be banned from ever having one.
Yes its a humorous line, but like all good humour, there is a bite of sober truth underlining it.
In my view, anyone who actually needs a gun, a farmer for instance to protect livestock, must be seriously and properly vetted, and monitored closely about their use of a gun.
Anyone who shoots for sport, targets, clays etc. has their weapon kept at their club and they are forbidden from taking it off club premises.
And that's it - anything else is illegal, and subject to prosecution and prison.
That sounds reasonable to me, although some may argue.

I agree. If you're not a member of some kind of sporting gun club, and you don't need a firearm for professional reasons, then there's no reason whatsoever to own one.
These should be the first two
record criteria to be checked, before they move on to whether you have a criminal record or a history of mental illness.

///Police decide whether to grant an individual a firearm after judging whether the applicant is fit to own one. This follows a number of checks, which typically include interviews, visits to the person’s property, criminal records checks and references from friends.
They should be able to demonstrate that “they require their firearm on a regular, legitimate basis for work, sport or leisure (including collections or research)”, although police are able to exercise discretion on a case-by-case basis of what merits a “good reason” to own a firearm.
In renewing a certificate, individuals are required by law to disclose their mental health history. Applicants’ GPs may be contacted during the vetting process, and GPs are informed once a certificate has been granted. While people are not required to disclose a related mental health condition during the period their certificate remains valid, doctors have a duty to “disclose information where they believe the patient may present a risk of death or serious harm to themselves or others”.///

Many, many, many moons ago when I was 16 I walked into the local hardware store in a small town in Ontario and told the guy behind the counter that I'd like to buy a rifle. I walked out of there with a semi-automatic Stevens .22 and two boxes of ammunition. That sounds crazy now, but back then it was quite normal for kids in small rural towns to own a .22.
Dannyk, a friend of mine decided that he wanted to take his grandfather's single-shot .22 out of "mothballs" and use it for target practice at his cottage up north. He had to take a safety-course; get a back-ground check; get finger-printed; and buy a special container to transport and store the rifle. All of this was done through the RCMP. Anyway, it cost him close to $1,000 to plink away at a few tine-cans on hie property.
