The most common factor in the mass murders (although maybe not in LV) seems to be that the authorities knew about the killers being dangerous but did not keep close tabs on them.

In order to arrest him: they would have had to know he was dishonorably discharged, someone would need to tell them he had a gun, and prove that the rifle was actually in his possession and not just a picture of a rifle.

But first, and foremost, someone has to tell them about it. There's no way they find out on their own unless you know something about it that I don't.
