“[E]very country contains mentally ill and potentially violent people. Only America arms them.”

Crazed firearms expert with military training still on the loose, killing anything that moves in Lewiston, Maine. Just “discharged from a mental health facility,” but getting hold of high-powered assault-style rifle a piece of cake.

Maybe the genius who discharged him gave him a therapy gun as a goodbye gift.

Maine has “no independent background check system, no red flag law to identify those at extreme risk for gun violence, no requirement that convicted domestic abusers turn in their guns and no permit requirements for concealed weapons.”

    My sister in law works in the hospital in Lewiston, in the OR, she had to handle a lot of the cases.

  2. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Matt: Impossible to imagine what she must be going through. I think of the nurses and doctors working in Las Vegas hospitals the night of the 2017 massacre — a nightmare for which no one could truly be prepared, and that must have changed the lives of everyone involved.
