Active Shooter Situation in Lewiston Maine


I'm thinking echo, here's why.
It sounds like 3 distanced peaks, that's more 3 round burst than full auto. It's unlikely that he has an actual burst capable gun. The 3 round bust is a lot more complicated than just full-auto, you can't just make it from a piece of wire or a little sheet, so people don't make burst guns, they make full-auto. And a binary trigger is 2 rounds not 3. So either he's in perfect control of an MG with a home made auto-sear and squeezing off a perfect 3 rounds each time. Or it's the sound of single shots in an area were there are 2 surfaces producing an echo.
Occam's razor says it's the simple explanation, echo.

Just my thought process.

Agree on the echos.

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.
They already do this but only for full blown invol commits. But in reality thats a big bar to reach because it was supposed to protect people from getting falsely listed. Also the idea of disarming them is stupid, criminals who are PPs have no issue getting guns. These people need to be locked up in looney bins instead. But our society has basically switched to "catch and release with pills" which has proven that it doesn't work.
 
Didn't VT already pass magazine bans etc?



It's disgusting how quickly these scum will jump on a tragedy to push forward an agenda. ZERO shame.
Pot meet kettle. This crowd has been pushing our agenda and paranoia since last night. Republicans politicians are largely silent and defaulting to the “thoughts and prayers” line.

Any way you look at this, it’s a very sad day. 22 people got killed. Sucks.
 
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.
Normally I'd make statements about everyone being pants shitting morons, but he already has delivered more than one target - one of which had kid stuff going on. If he's not done, schools would be on the table.
 
Card is enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve and has an active military ID. Authorities have stepped back their early reports that Card is a trained firearms instructor.
 
View attachment 810076I’ve seen this posted in multiple places and heard other people say he crossed into MA. Can anyone confirm, or is our friend Nabeel here full of shit?
I doubt he came to MA. Unless he has a non resident permit, that would be illegal. Also, those mags don’tv ook like prebans.
 
He’s Army reserve released from mental health facility. Not even close to the ideal candidate.

Are you saying the libs would not view this guy as a catalyst for their efforts because he's white, Army reservist with gun training and recently in mind jail?

They could not have picked better if Card had been hand-picked for the job.

They'll milk this all fall/winter and in the spring, there'll be one more big one, someplace and probably a scattering of smaller events leading up to the election.
 
How many of these recent mass shooters wore some kind of armor? Got me thinking hypothetically if any of you were in a defensive situation and had the opportunity to shoot back at a perp, would you be directly taking aim above neck or stick to traditional center mass first shots?

Unlike TV, a shot to the chest with body armor should at least set the guy back a step and buy you a few seconds to make another move. -jack bauer

Unless the guy is hopped up on some amphetamine type booster like the Moro fighters or Hamas in the initial attacks.
 
Who is the source that he was in a mental institution and wanted to shoot up an army base? How would this be public so quick? No hospital would release this info and police would not have that this quick. Why was this photo released last night. How did that help police? As to the original photo release, one the guy looks skinny and pasty white, the other he looks fit. Also the hair line looks different. One looks combed over and one looks shorter on forehead cut short straight across.
 
so.... red flag laws GUD?

I think he (or she) was just pointing out that laws (good or bad) are in place that SHOULD have stopped this event before it happened, if laws like the "red flag" idea actually worked in the first place.

But when it's used as a revenge or persecution tool, it takes a bad idea to a whole new level.

It does seem odd that nobody appeared worried about the guy before last night.
 
I believe I saw on fox23 that bowling alley call came in first.
At that time, I believe the Walmart was in play. Then Walmart DC.. Then same 15 minutes, an active shooter in VT somewhere kicked into the feeds. And The Bar and The Grill were both separate locations...

But *nods. I just want to KNOW which came first.

Ah. So the "trained firearms instructor" line was just part of the initial psyop.

I'll mark off another bingo card square.
