I've been up there for work a few times. Very small and quiet place. Goes to show that it can happen anywhere.
Apparently Maine has almost literally 0 firearm laws. This guy had been in a mental health facility this summer and he’s able to access a semi automatic rifle. #America
Worse yet he made threats to shoot up the National Guard Armory that he's a member of and is an actual firearms instructor. Not only can he access firearms but can train others to use them. Why wouldn't this alarm law enforcement and why would this not trigger some sort of response from police, fbi, National Guard ect...
No doubt. Would like nothing more than for LE to put this psycho down but it looks like he's already in hiding. If so, it will take some effort to find him and take him down.
LOL, every week we have a mass shooting, you just don't hear about the majority of them.
We always hear about mass shootings and while tragic it doesn't really shed light on the larger issues. What gets highlighted is the guns not all the other preventable factors that allowed the shooting to happen. We should be publicizing all murders equally to show that there is a problem in this country with violence, mental health and criminal activity among others.
I’m aware that Israel loosened some gun restrictions after the Hamas attacks but haven’t heard about giving guns to citizens. Any link to that?
The connection is that armed citizens can protect themselves. Reduce the carnage. The shooter in the US was trained but one or more armed citizens could have slowed him down and prevented some deaths. Hamas was likely not as trained as the armed shooter in the us. Some casualties could have been prevented.
Your linked article says absolutely zero to support your claim that “the Israeli government started giving guns to citizens”, since that didn’t happen. Takes a huge hyperbole leap to get from easing the permit process to handing guns out.The connection is that armed citizens can protect themselves. Reduce the carnage. The shooter in the US was trained but one or more armed citizens could have slowed him down and prevented some deaths. Hamas was likely not as trained as the armed shooter in the us. Some casualties could have been prevented.
Aghast at Hamas killings, Israelis buy up guns with government's blessing
After Hamas' shock attack on Israel, Shimrit Ben Arosh, a mother from an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank, drove up to a shooting range in central Kfar Saba for gun license firearms training.www.reuters.com
I can read just fine.
LOL............you haven't been to Lewiston Maine. Lots of guns in citizens hands..........lots of them.The connection is that armed citizens can protect themselves. Reduce the carnage.

Apparently the poster I was responding too hasn't. Over 500 mass shooting events this year............
It seems none of the gun owners in Lewiston we're at the site of the shootings. Or maybe they were and we just haven't heard about it.
Mass shootings. Multiple victims all dead. Nothing to see here. No similarity. Move along.
Five minutes ago while watching BBC news, BBC stated that many are volunteering for the police force, and they are being given guns by the Israeli government. They stated that citizens are being armed by the government. BOOM! Game over.

And it follows that one of those Israeli citizens who joined a security squad to get a government issued gun must have killed the Maine shooter, since he was found dead today.
That’s your first problem. Gun violence goes beyond “mass” shootings.
Well, my dad worked law enforcement for nearly 45 years so I have a little insight. I also have a masters degree in criminal behavioral analysis and have studied many of these numbers. National heads have grown too complacent to anything besides “mass” shootings. It seems like there are one or two shootings in Jacksonville every day.
