Is your life worth protecting? If so, whose responsibility is it to protect it? If you believe that it is the police's, not only are you wrong -- since the courts universally rule that they have no legal obligation to do so -- but you face some difficult moral quandaries. How can you rightfully ask another human being to risk his life to protect yours, when you will assume no responsibility yourself?...One who values his life and takes seriously his responsibilities to his family and community will possess and cultivate the means of fighting back...He will never be content to rely solely on others for his safety, or to think he has done all that is possible by being aware of his surroundings and taking measures of avoidance.
The awareness about which Snyder wrote applies literally to every situation under the sun - not just crazy people or thieves in the night or bad dudes in an alley, but bureaucrats in lab coats and college faculty in sport coats.
Even in a gun-friendly state, Bad Things can happen. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
And apparently there was no communication between New York (where the perp had spent two weeks in the mental hospital) and Maine.
Ain’t HIPPA great?
/s
Always does. The law enforcement always knew about every one of these murdering bass turds.
Aside from that he was an evil person, we know very little about Robert Card. We know nothing of his history if he had a manifesto and any social media posts.
Both!
Is it odd that modern day CCTV and surveillance cameras are hi-def, 1080 type stuff, yet the picture they show of they guy with the rifle is a grainy image that looks like it came from a convenience store from the 90s
That being said, IMHO, the guy with the rifle doesn’t look like the other picture/mugshot they’re showing.
One thing we’ll never see is the crime scene photos of the person they found.
The Rats will permit if not facilitate mass shootings until they can achieve their ultimate fantasies of super massive, jackbooted genocide.
Well, he was “previously known” to law enforcement, soooooooo it’s their fault.
The already existing laws if applied to him (maybe) would have delayed him somewhat.
Well they had that yellow law and nobody did anything. That would’ve helped.
Did Law or Law Enforcement fail?
Or did ‘MK Ultra’ succeed?
/tinhat
Red / yellow flag laws do nothing when they are ignored by LEOs. We cannot expect any protection from “common sense gun laws” with all of these bozo commiecrats in charge. Constitutional carry is the only viable solution.

Maine has a very fair and good Yellow Flag Law. Under that, law enforcement should have removed his firearms and immediately reported that he had been involuntarily committed to a mental institution.
This is a failure in follow thru.
>>And there is something else: Maine is a gun rights friendly state, yet none of the victims was apparently able to fight back.
Weren’t both of the main venues for the carnage gun-free victim zones?
I, for one, am sick of the lunatics running the asylum!
We need three things to stop gun violence:
1. Get GOD back into all of our public venues (especially schools)
2. Start taking people with mental health problems as a serious matter
3. Decent fathers in the homes of children, especially for boys
And if even ONE of these is accomplished in this day and age, it will be a miracle. Best we can do is keep our powder dry and be eternally vigilant. :(
Note: Nowhere did I say ‘disarm the population.’ ;)
Another ignorant moron showing that all he knows about "silencers" is from the movies. The very best suppressors lower the sound of gunfire by about 30 dB. The sound of gunfire from a rifle is about 165 dB. A jackhammer is about 130 dB. So if you were in a bowling alley you wouldn't hear a jackhammer 50 feet away?
Maine needs more concealed carriers.
It’s an inverse incentive if the goal is that of total gun confiscation. The more shootings the better as far as lib-thinking goes. The Beltway gets tingles up their legs every time some nut shoots up a crowd, even though they were a well documented dangerous felon or mental case.
Both.
Gun laws don’t work.
Gun free zones are killing fields.
LE lets far too many killers *slip through the cracks*, for lack of a better term. Ignoring people who are known to be a credible thread can only mean they want this sort of thing to happen.
The guy self reported to a mental facility, so it is on the DOCTORS? Was he even treated by a psychiatrist or was he turned over to a “mental health social worker”? What were the terms of his release and did they force compliance? When was his last outpatient visit to the mental facility did he show up, or did they just throw meds at him when he was released and say see you in six months?
