In Florida Omar Mateen was investigated and cleared. There would be no justification for withholding his 2nd amendment rights.

I certainly would have no problem with a system like this, with due process, but the fact remains that any charge that is cleared through a court, investigation, or hearing would not stop anyone from getting a weapon. Convictions or judgments against competency are what it takes.
