Slow in coming but he’s taking responsibility and doing the right thing.

I wish all the other places that will be affected by assault weapon mass murders in the future would just figure it out now and help prevent the next massacre.

I hate that he was fine to ignore and distance himself from all the dead Sandy Hook kids, all the dead Vegas and Orlando innocents. But he may well lose his seat with this announcement so I appreciate his late courage.

He wasn't in Congress for Sandy Hook. Maine is big gun country and this is a BFD if he's changed his tune. Americans are sick and tired of this!

This is PP - I live in Maine. I’m living this event. He was alive during Sandy Hook and that should have been enough for him, and everyone, to come out against assault weapons. But yes, it’s a big deal to change his tune, and again, he could be voted out due to it if enough people aren’t as deeply impacted as Jared is.

I am a military spouse and disturbed that this guy was hearing voices, having psychotic breaks etc. and .... going about his day? Have they determined why he was not receiving treatment through the military, and why he had access to an assault weapon? Was it acquired illegally? This sounds like a fail on so many levels. And I abhor the loss of life. So much sad news.

Idiot: Access? How about walking into a gun store. Acquired illegally? Why? AR-15s are perfectly legal.

After all, who are we to say a mass shooter can't have the gun of his choice?

Illegally due to his documented poor mental health.

Oh really? How does that work? A "Magic" "computer" "system"? Buying an AR-15 is very easy. Mass shooters gotta mass shoot, right?

Maine doesn’t have a red flag law. This is absurd.

Yes, that type of law might interfere with a white man’s right to own an assault weapon-a right which trumps everyone else’s right to live.

Ok. This is one of the huge fails then. I hope they will also address this. We own a gun, and I am happy to have checks, required training, jump through every hoop and have guns removed from people too. Thank you for answering my question.

I understand you are profoundly angry. He sounds like he is completely psychotic. However, that has nothing to do with being white. I hope they catch him soon.

Actually race has a lot to do with assault weapon ownership and mass shootings of this type. Most are not psychotic-just angry white guys.

That’s very kind - thank you. My family and I are not yet personally impacted beyond fear and inconvenience, but I’m so sorry for friends and neighbors who will be working through all this for years to come, just like all those thousands of previous and future gun-violence victims and families. Please let there be a sea-change soon.

This guy (Robert Card) is a big MAGA/Fox/Jim Jordan/Tucker Carlson/right-wing militia follower. He wanted to show the world his "rage" by shooting children in a bowling alley with his AR-15. America The Beautiful.

I’m glad he’s revising his position. But I went to a fundraiser for him just a few days after Uvalde and he was not willing to change his position then. I’m in Maine, I get to be elected as a Dem in the 2nd district you need to be more like a Repub, but it disheartens me that he couldn’t see a justification for this until it hit his hometown.

You know how much blood it will take for all of these people to come to their senses??

We just have to vote for Democrats . We cannot wait for every Republican district to have its own shooting…

It is coming out now that his family were “big 2A fans” and “don’t tread on me” types.

This is what that mentality spawns.

We have to take the country back.

Do you want your children’s children to have active shooter drills on kindergarten??
