Information studies recommend that Lewiston gun bloodbath suspect Robert Card was affected by psychological well being issues that one may count on would forestall him from possessing a firearm. However gun legal guidelines, even within the case of psychological sickness are usually not so clear lower. Margaret Groban, who teaches firearms regulation on the College of Maine College of Regulation, talks with Alex Wagner.

Massive bias against the mentally ill from this host. A group more likely to be the victim, than perpetrator of a violent crime.
WOW 😳 "shocked" so you say nobody gets mad in Maine gun owners always use the "mental health card" instead of acknowledging that it an anger issue that makes people this way. Take the gun out of this equation and all you have is an angry man . Now that everyone is scared in Maine imagine how it felt in that highschool in Florida, face the facts " repuglickens don't give a rats azz about it. Gun's win….. Life is lost get used to it.
The start to take guns bigest bull iv eve seen
Green flag law 😁
I’m so glad Americans have their Second Amendment rights. It protect and saves so many lives
Yal acting like the government hasnt been watching everything this dude did up until this point 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂THEY LET IT HAPPEN
Simple, ban the manufacture, sales and transportation of ammunition, nothing protecting ammunition in the Constitution or its amendments!
That's one hellufa giant loophole….
Wow gg
They should make it a federal law that if you have mental issues you gotta go get a psych evaluation in order to own a gun. And if they psych doctor won't put their credentials on the line then you shouldn't have one period.
He is not and was not a firearms instructor according to the US Army spokesman, Bryce Dubee. PLEASE fact check your material and stop maligning the military with such pejorative reporting.
Is not necessarily, should be necessarily.
Life is cheaper than guns in the USA
spineless chicken hearted cops — warrant for a killer and they sit outside the house asking him to please come out. took them 22 hours to even find out where he lived. Then they don't even break in. gee we wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone while we're looking for this murderer …. trans lightweights …. let's see what are the woke rules for disrupting a killer's day…???
Everyone thinks it could never happen here, until it does!
Why didn't his family just take his guns, if they thought he was dangerous?
They too are responsible.
As a reminder, the Democrats last serious push to ban gun ownership by the mentally ill was so poorly crafted and worded that ACeffingLU actually stood up for gun owners.
"BUhhUh CoMmOn sEnSe" and you cant even get it past a group that believes the text of the second amendment permits total gun bans.
This man was reported to national guard and police. Mental evaluation now this HOW? WHO FAILED THIS MAN HIS FAMILY AND ALL THE VICTIMS? AMERICA needs GODLY vaules back. To much evil & perversion on television games music. This is so heartbreaking
The only way to know when someone purchases a gun and has been committed to a mental health facility (voluntarily or involuntarily) is through background check.
Hours before the rampage, the Senate voted 53-45 to adopt an amendment making it easier for veterans with mental disabilities to get guns. The Department of Veteran Affairs is currently required to send the names of veterans who need assistance managing their benefits to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
The amendment adopted on Wednesday, introduced by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), overturns this requirement. “My amendment would prevent government workers from unduly stripping veterans of their right to bear arms,” Kennedy said.
These "processes" take too long, too. How many incidents have to happen before the judge can find the person a danger to the community?
Regarding mental health, we should pay more attention to INVOLUNTARILY patients for they are not aware they are sick and they are the most serious and dangerous ones!
Had all the victims been carrying, with odds of 31 to 1, the gunman might've been the only one dying.
The headline should be trained USA military killer goes Rouge in Maine.
It appears that he had a Civilian job at the Recycling Center where his body was found a few months previously. This makes it appear to me that he was Serving in the National Guard at this time rather than Active Duty in the Army or Marine Corps. The Guard Commander may have sent him to the Mental Health facility. As a Citizen Soldier he would have had far less military over site and help available than the Guard.
No they really don't care; The fact is, it happened right in their own back yard. Now they're worried.
I wish they could stop using mental illness as a excuse for evil people
Well there is always loopholes..
It always has been
What happened…..the 2A!
