”The mass shooting in Maine last week, which killed 18 people, was the country’s deadliest of the year. It may have also been one of the most avoidable.”

The NYT catalogs the many warning signs. The family called the PD, the PD called the Army, the Army let the PD handle it, the PD couldn’t find the guy, the Army said maybe best to leave him alone and the PD thought best to let the family handle it.

NYT’s conclusion: Maine’s Yellow Flag law didn’t work.

NYT’s solution: An assault weapons ban and a Red Flag law allowing friends and family to directly have PD seize weapons on request.

Who is surprised?
