Active Shooter Situation in Lewiston Maine

Oh just friggin great.
Nutbag military member who did 20 days in a box with other nuts.
We all go through NICS when we buy a gun, I'm afraid to say they need to cross reference mental health records with the NICS system. How else are they going to take them out of the wrong hands? If you're mentally sound you have nothing to worry about. If you're not mentally sound then everyone around you has to worry. I'm not talking about Xanax for minor anxiety, I'm talking about dangerous mental health issues, they need to be disarmed.

The penalty of that dissuades people from getting help
 
So if they don't find the shooter today or tomorrow are they just going to keep Maine locked down like Watertown was in 2013? What if the authorities find evidence the shooter is in *insert NE state here* are they gonna lock down that state too? Maybe all of New England?

There's been no sighting of the shooter for 12 hours, they have no idea if he's on foot, on a boat, or in a car, so what is the thinking behind locking Maine down?

I could be wrong, but I do not believe there is a national mental health database, at least one that is known to the general public.

I am very opposed to one- as the dems will add "opposing us" as a disqualifying mental condition
 
I'm probably the closest (in distance) NES'er to Lewiston. It's a couple of towns over. This Card guy lived about 15 minutes away.

Lots of confusion this morning. Death numbers are 16, or 20, or 22, depending on what news channel I listen to.

Most all schools are closed.

Maine is one big small town; no idea if I know any of the victims. No names released.

Allahsnackbar: no more cracks about Mainers being inbred or lack of teeth. It's not even mildly funny.

I'm guessing he had it before he went screwy.

I likely know the bar owner. (worked with his wife or now ex wife. ). He also likely carried. (she carried).
 
Watertown ?? is that where the cops killed around 20 house's, a boat, and shot one of the cops??

Sure is! Mainers? Watch your boats!

This guy is a delusional nut job, who is so sick in the head that he did what he did, but then he carried out a perfect E&E plan?

Seems strange, but here we are.

Doesn't have to be perfect. Sometimes it just needs to be a series of good guesses. To the point of the Watertown thing, the younger Tsarnaev hardly had a "perfect E&E plan" and look how long he stayed free, despite being wounded and inexperienced and well-advertised, and despite the cops getting REALLY close a couple times.

got a text from my niece this morning. her parents live in Lewiston and were both at home last night. they are safe. I am hearing schools all over the state are closing for the day.

One of my coworkers grew up there. He was at that bowling alley last weekend. His family still lives in the town.
