What about the New York State Police?
He had, in fact, been referred to the facility on July 16 after “behaving erratically” while in training at the United States Military Academy, a spokesperson for the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs told The Daily Beast“Out of concern for his safety, the unit requested that law enforcement be contacted,” the spokesperson said. “New York State Police responded and transported Card to Keller Army Community Hospital at the United States Military Academy for medical evaluation.”
When the NY State Police "transported" him to the US Military Academy for "medical evaluation," did they have him under arrest (for his own, and their, protection?). Or, did he simply hop in the back of their car so they could take him to the mental hospital?
If they had him under arrest, then wouldn't Maine's "yellow flag" law come into play...meaning, law enforcement should have removed guns from his possession?
Title 34-B: BEHAVIORAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES
Chapter 3: MENTAL HEALTH
Subchapter 4: HOSPITALIZATION
Article 3: INVOLUNTARY HOSPITALIZATION

And how long do you think it would have taken the NY Staties to contact the Maine Staties to get the right judge to enact the yellow flag rule and then have the cops go to his home and access his firearms?
You certainly put a lot of faith in “paperwork.” LOL
