Actually, DEMOCOMMIE, it sounds like that's what the police did ... they called him in and talked to him ... and then let him go home. It wasn't until, he "showcased" the firearm moving it to his vehicle, prompting the neighbors to call in a "welfare" check which lead to his being admitted to a hospital for evaluations.
According to this report, Davis purchased the AR-15 military-style rifle in April 2009, along with two high-capacity magazines and 500 rounds of ammunition. The firearm was loaded but apparently had never been used AND his wife states she did not know he owned the firearm.
Wouldn't you like to know why he purchased 500 rounds of ammo ... assuming that the clip size is 30 (or even 10), that is a lot of ammo ... and never used. If the guy was an active hunter and ammo was not readily available, that could be a reason ... but why buy that much and just let it sit ? Did the salesman sell him ? Did the NRA fear campaign that "Obama will take your gun" encourage him to purchase the firearm and ammo ?
Next, let's consider how much this impacted the community. The police increased their presence at the school ... mental anguish on for the teachers who received the emails ... for the counselors who were brought in to talk students who wanted to discuss it.
Oh and in case you missed it, Sleepy Eye and New Ulm schools have added extra security as students head back to classes following the arrest of a juvenile accused of making threats of a shooting. New Ulm Public School Superintendent Harold Remme sent an email to parents Saturday that read "A Facebook message with a shooter threat has been discovered by law enforcement. The message referenced a neighboring school district as the initial target with comments about similar actions in surrounding schools.
"Please be advised the person involved in making the Facebook comment has been apprehended by law enforcement, and charged. The author of the Facebook statement is now in custody of law enforcement. As a safety precaution, additional security measures will be in place as students enter ISD 88 schools on Monday morning, Jan. 7. Thank you for your concern and understanding of this matter."

Yep, the Bennington community dodged a bullet.
