There are limits, so, are you still pretending that you're a man? (rhet)Nope, there are limits. Some automatic rifles, some sawed off shotguns.
This guy was on the FBI's watch list.

The law does not require the reporting of it, and can't take their guns away without a long long court process when you commit yourself voluntarily...it is not covered under yellow flag laws here either.Yep....he was in the looney bin for 2 weeks....told them, explicitly, that he was hearing voices and that he wanted to do a mass public shooting...and they did nothing.....
you doofus....you can't hide the facts in this....your god, "Government," failed again to stop a known mass public shooter.
Banning Ar-15s will not prevent bad people from getting them.Good you are wrong in the rifles but AR-15s are good right?
We do not know if he was one of the good old boys and gals insulated in the comfortable system. You know, like cops do. Circle the wagons and at worse most of the time let the taxpayer foot the bill for the abuses made. The people talked to on TV up to now stated they never heard of him let alone know him even if he is not from the town. This is a more sparsely populated region and he had to be known for what his background in employment was.Because the bar to actually incarcerate someone over mental illness or competency is actually quite high. You don't just get to report someone and have them institutionalized, even if they saw they are hearing voices.

Mental Health Reporting in Maine
VIEW POLICY AREA
Last updatedJANUARY 5, 2023.
Federal law generally prohibits possession of firearms and ammunition by people who have been found by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority to be a danger to themselves or others, or to lack “the mental capacity to contract or manage [their] own affairs,” as a result of their mental condition or illness.1 Federal law also generally prohibits people from possessing firearms if they have been involuntarily hospitalized or committed to a mental health or substance abuse treatment facility by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority.2
No federal law, however, requires states to report the identities of these individuals when they become ineligible to possess firearms to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (“NICS”) database, which the FBI uses to perform background checks prior to firearm transfers. As a result, state record reporting laws are critical to ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of the background check system.
Maine requires courts to transmit to the Department of Public Safety, State Bureau of Identification an abstract of any order for involuntary commitment issued by the court. The abstract must include:
The Bureau also must report to NICS as soon as it receives any abstract from a court finding that a person has been:
- The person’s name, date of birth and gender;
- The court’s ruling that the person has been involuntarily committed by a court after a hearing because the person was found to present a “likelihood of serious harm” (as Maine law defines the phrase); and
- A notation that the person has been notified by the court about the firearm prohibition.3
The abstract is confidential and not a public record; however, a copy of the abstract may also be provided by the Bureau to a criminal justice agency for legitimate law enforcement purposes or to an issuing authority for the purpose of processing concealed handgun permit applications.5
- Committed involuntarily to a hospital pursuant to an order of the District Court after a hearing;
- Found not criminally responsible by reason of insanity with respect to a criminal charge; or
- Found not competent to stand trial with respect to a criminal charge.4
Note that these reporting requirements only apply if the person was judicially committed after a hearing (and is therefore subject to the Maine prohibition against firearm possession)6. Maine does not require the reporting of individuals who have been committed through emergency procedures, but who have not yet been granted a hearing.7
EvilCat Breath do you have a link confirming that the multiple locations when people were shot are gun free zones? What I found was -
According to gun safety advocacy group Brady, Maine lacks several major types of gun safety law, including assault weapons regulation, universal background checks, and "red flag" laws that allow law enforcement to temporarily disarm people legally deemed dangerous.
I sense you're talking bollox.

Mass shootings are about the mental illness of the shooter, not his or her race. No one opens fire on innocent people without being mentally deranged. Another race bait fail.Maine Police Order City Lockdown, Citing ‘Active Shooter’ at Two Locations
A dispatcher with the sheriff’s office said there were multiple victims in the shooting in Lewiston, but didn’t know how many.
The authorities in Maine ordered residents of Lewiston to shelter in place on Wednesday night as they responded to an “active shooter situation” at two locations involving multiple victims.
The Maine State Police said it was assisting the Lewiston Police Department in its response to the shooting. “Law enforcement is asking people to shelter in place,” the state police said on Facebook. “Please stay inside your home with the doors locked.”
“Law enforcement is currently investigating at two locations right now,” the agency said, without specifying where.
A dispatcher at the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office said there were multiple victims, adding that the exact number and their conditions were still unknown.

Funny how we see no rush to post this story. The photo has been shown. The shooter is white.
16 killled, and there may be more deaths coming. Lewiston is 77 percent white and this appears to be another white on white crime.
Nope.....all bearable arms
Oh yes, more and more murder by a trained Gun Nut. Let's hear it people who gun rights are important than human life.

LOLOL
Odd how you say that in light of laws on the books banning them.
You are full of racist hate against Whites and it makes you look like an asshole.
Violent crime is a major problem in the Democrat controlled big city shitholes with a large demographics of Blacks and Browns. Every weekend in the Black parts of Chicago there is the equivalent of the mass shooting we saw in Maine last night. Sometimes you can see the same numbers of killed and wounded in just one Saturday night if the Negroes are drunk enough.
Even in my county that has low crime it is mostly from the Black and Brown community.
Minority crime is going to get a lot worse in this country now that idiot Potatohead allowed millions of Illegals to flood into this country.
