    Surprised this hasn't been posted here yet. I guess we're just that jaded now.

    Multiple mass shootings in Lewiston, ME. Total death toll is as yet unknown, but some reports are saying >20 dead and >50 injured.

    I knew we were screwed when nothing would be done after Sandy Hook.

    I just hope this wasn't motivated by recent events.

    Police have issued a photograph of their suspect in action as he bravely stood up for his Second Amendment rights in a bowling alley.

    Appropriate timing, given that the House just elected a trog Speaker who, of course, votes down every gun-control bill. We have the country that our voters want.

    It was actually in the non-mass shooting thread. Wishful thinking, it turns out.

    Yawn … another mass shooting, with an AR15 type rifle.
    I’d better go and buy another in case they do get stupid and ban them.

    It’s so hard trying to understand why. Why on so many levels.

    According to the internet, the "person of interest" was a military training instructor that "recently reported mental health issues including hearing voices and threatening to “shoot up” a military facility in Saco, according to the bulletin. He was committed to a mental health facility for two weeks in the summer, it added."

    You know what might help? Making it so crazy people can't get firearms. Or enforcing the red/yellow flag laws currently on the books. Or making it so firearms are treated like how this individual dealt with military-provided firearms. Tracked, registered, locked in the armory except when in use, can't take them home. Like a militia or something.

    It just makes you sad. The pointless loss of life and knowledge that nothing will change no amount of dead innocent people will wake people up. I not only put this on the politician that are in the back pocket of the NRA but the people who claim to care about this until they hear something about a man wearing a dress and then no let's select the same people again.

    We did have a really good law on People with Mental Health Issues not being able to access assault weapons.
    But the smartest man in the stable made it his job to repeal that law when first becoming prez.

    Dear NRA, Thanks for your support in my battle with Hillary.

    I knew we were doomed when the GOP wouldn't even restrict firearm sales to people on the terrorist watch list.

    I mean, we were ALL IN on restricting the rights of people with Muslim-sounding names to travel on airplanes, get jobs, that sort of thing. But the idea of not letting people suspected of being terrorists from buying guns and shooting a bunch of Americans was just too unconstitutional.

    The only way Republicans will agree to that is if the gun owner's surname is "Biden."

    And ironically, Bruen will probably result in that conviction being ruled unconstitutional.

    Twitter account of suspected Maine shooter ‘liked’ conservative posts
    Return to menu
    By Joseph Menn
    An account on the social media network X, formerly Twitter, with the name and apparent likeness of Maine shooting suspect Robert Card, demonstrated interest in a constellation of right-wing accounts. A recording of a scroll through the “likes” of the suspended account by the media site Heavy, showed that it marked posts by Tucker Carlson, Dinesh D’Souza, Jordan Peterson and Donald Trump Jr.

    It also liked posts from news accounts including the BBC and CNBC. Active through April, the account liked many posts by X owner Elon Musk, his ally David Sacks and then House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Subjects of recurring interest included assault weapons and transgender issues.

    Hmmmm

    First, a run of the mill criminal conviction like this is unlikely to get cert. Second, Thomas would have to overrule his own precedent.
