I don’t think they have him yet. There are some videos being circulated of an arrest (my son showed them to me) but I’m watching live coverage and they’re talking about the manhunt underway.

Are you familiar with those maps of the us that show “favorite candy by state”, “most popular baby names by state”? Well now, the us can have its own “largest mass shooting” by state. Having lived in 3 other countries with very few gun deaths and virtually zero child/teen gun deaths, it feels like we all have a shared psychotic disorder about gun rights that is dooming us to tragedy after tragedy, over and over ad nauseum.

My joking sympathies to all of the other Robert Cards whose lives are going to be very annoying briefly.

My real sympathies to the families of the deceased and injured. I’m sorry that the GOP loves its gun money more than it appreciates a safe healthy populace.

And more sympathies to thousands of people who are tonight remembering their mass shooting experiences and wondering where their loved ones would be now. May PTSD flares be brief and may good memories comfort them.

Stop it. This is not the time to be talking about gun control, not when people are so emotional.

SCOTUS has clarified that gun ownership is an inalienable right and that using your gun is protected free speech. Democrats always scream for gun control after events like these because they know it’s REPUBLICANS, namely MAGA, who own the vast majority of guns and ammo in America. Asking President Trump and the GOP to support gun control is really asking them to unilaterally disarm. It makes no sense to hand the Democrats such a victory, when gun-aided speech is literally and figuratively MAGA’s Trump card for 2024.

There have been 600 masa shootings this year. Two per day. When are we allowed to talk about it? And by the way, Trump isn’t the President.

It seems to be never the time to talk about gun control.

Why would gun control ever happen? You can shoot up a classroom full of 8 year olds at Sandy Hook and nothing changes. This is just a regular weekday event here. I'm surprised it is national news at this point. Routine American life.

STOP electing Republicans.

It is really that easy.

Never miss an opportunity huh???

Too bad new England including maine is full of gun toting liberals that vote democrat but that doesn't matter does it???

Wasn’t a recent Maine governor a MAGA nut?

Yes, Paul LePage who has now lost to the current governor twice. And Lewiston is in the part of Maine that voted for Trump.

It’s also the home of Bates College. If it’s not UVA, it’s UNC, or Bates, or VT… when hunting our kids become okay?

The US Army Reserve, reportedly.

About to retire after twenty years in.

Are they doing anything meaningful to vet these guys?

I have a friend locked down up there right now. This is not freedom we're living in. IDGAF what the 2A nutters have to say about it.

Suspect is from Bowdoin

And a military gun instructor

Before he became mentally ill and asked to leave military

But only the police and military should have guns

If having an AR-15 is an inalienable right, then why stop there? I really want my own grenade launcher and c-ram anti missile launcher. My constitutional rights are being infringed because I’m not able to express myself, much less open carry a grenade launcher. Oh, you say there’s no reason for me to have a sweet over the shoulder anti-tank missile gun? Well, I say bollocks. Why not? If the ME shooter can have an AR-15, I see no reason I can’t have the latest and greatest anti tank missile gun. I mean, they probably would probably kill the same number of people in the same amount of time, if that’s what you are worried about. Jeez.

Can I get a TOW missile mounted on my Subaru for the next time some jackass cuts me off?

Will be interesting to hear what type of mental health services he received from the government

Reportedly lost his job, threatened to blow up a military base, has been hearing voices, spent two weeks in a mental health facility...

[Anonymous]

Apparently 2 weeks was not sufficient

You’re salivating trying to blame this on Biden. Stop it.

[Anonymous]

Here we go again. Thoughts and prayers.

It’s not guns that kill people, it’s people with mental health issues that kill people.

When is this madness going to stop!!!

The inalienable right was written almost 250 years ago. Our forefathers had no idea the effect on gun ownership in 2023. This was not their intent. It’s sad the SCOTUS is interpreting the constitution for political reasons and a not protecting its citizens
