Under federal law, from that moment on, he was a prohibited person (GCA '68). This should have shown up on his NICS (brady law) check when he attempted to purchase. If the purchase was made prior to his commitment, he was required to surrend all lirearms to the local authorities after his commitment
The U. Tex. 1966 incident is what cause most major police juridictions to train and deploy some form of special response team.
Yeah, this was reclarified in the FOPA '86 as well. Therefore, his purchase should have been illegal...
