[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two questions.....
1.  Why was he released from the facility?  Clearly, he is not well. 
2.  Given that he had threatened to shoot up the military base, why was he permitted to own a gun - any gun?

[quote]The document, circulated to law enforcement officials, said Card had been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks in the summer of 2023. It did not provide details about his treatment or condition but said Card had reported "hearing voices and threats to shoot up" the military base. A telephone number listed for Card in public records was not in service.[/quote]

These are the right questions [/quote]

No they aren't.  We don't lock up people with mental illness indefinitely, nor should we.  [b]And the gun was either legally his or illegal.[/b]  There are so many AR-15s around, they are very common.  [/quote]

The question is.... why did he have it given he was in a mental health facility for 2 weeks and had threatened to shoot up a base?  This is the textbook case of where a red flag law is applicable.  [/quote]
Maine does not have red flag laws.[/quote]
And this is why we need a federal solution. Another reason is all the guns that pour into Illinois from Indiana.[/quote]
