There's a big difference in finding someone legally insane and not fit to be tried for their actions and knowing that someone is mentally unstable and possibly a threat to themselves and others.
Okay, so what then? You know how many people are "possibly a threat to themselves or others"? What do you propose we do with these people?

It's a tough call. What if someone is on medication for something like bipolar disorder and while on the meds lives a normal life? Should that person be able to buy a gun?
When these folks stop taking the meds or the meds suddenly stop working correctly and need to be changed by dose or type, they can really have some problems suddenly. They could go south quickly and easily. I have some friends with this issue and I've seen them normal for years and, suddenly, so depressed they can't get out of bed and entertain thoughts of suicide.

Not sell them guns.
Like I said, nothing is going to completely stop these things from happening. Just like locking your doors isn't going to keep out a robber that really wants in. But making it harder for these crazies to do it and possibly giving people the chance to prevent it ahead of time doesn't seem like a bad idea.
People are so worried they are going to ban guns altogether they seem to be against anything that prevents someone from owning a gun.
What if you lived beside this guy or one of the others. They showed you all their guns, told you they had thought of doing something like this, and there is basically nothing you can do. Just sit and wait for the day it happens.
