Report on morning news. Maine gun store did it's job, denied new guns to shooter, government failed its job.

[2aguy]

Listening to morning news on the t.v..........a the shooter tried to buy a silencer at a Maine gun store before the shooting, and filled out the mandatory, Federal Background check form for the purchase. He checked the box about his 2 week commitment.....the owner of the gun store checked his form, saw that he had been committed to a psychiatric facility, and denied him the purchase.

The gun store did it's job....

The government did not do it's job.....it failed to confiscate the gun he already had under Maines Yellow Flag law....

The gun store didn't fail, the anti-gun god, "government" failed.

“He came in and filled out the form, he checked off a box that incriminated himself saying that he was in an institution,” Rick LaChapelle, owner of Coastal Defense Firearms, said. “Our staff was fantastic, let him finish filling out the form, and said, ‘I'm sorry, Mr. Card, we cannot give you this… at this point in time, we cannot release this silencer to you because of the answers that you've given us.”

LaChapelle added "we did what we were supposed to do and hopefully saved a lot of lives by the proper, just following the proper procedures.”

Alleged Maine gunman tried to buy a silencer months before Lewiston shootings

The alleged Maine gunman, Robert Card, tried to buy a silencer for a rifle at a local firearms store three months prior to the mass shooting, the owner said Saturday.

What, isn't this like the third or forth mass shooter mental defective that the .mil has unleashed on the public?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Maine's Yellow Flag Law was followed, it is too weak to have applied to the shooter.

 

[Marener]

The government did not do it's job.....it failed to confiscate the gun he already had under Maines Yellow Flag law....

How is the government supposed to know what guns he has? there’s no gun registry.

our government is no more than an illusion of protection ~S~

 

[2aguy]

How is the government supposed to know what guns he has? there’s no gun registry.

Easy.....He told his mental health professionals that he planned on doing a mass public shooting...therefore it would be a good idea to make sure the guy hearing voices, stating he wants to shoot people, and who is confined to a mental health facility doesn't have guns in his home....and considering he was a military firearms instructor....and his family was already in contact with the police?

Please....try harder.

Constitutionally, outside of actual Due Process the government has no right to take anyone's guns.

No...it isn't. The Yellow Flag law requires the individual in question go through due process before confiscation.....that includes being evaluated by a psychiatric professional.....

He had been in a facility for 2 weeks and already evaluated by a professional, the military was informed, they informed the police....that is all the protocol they needed to go to a judge to pull his guns and ban him from getting more.......

Your god, "government," failed.....

 

[2aguy]

What, isn't this like the third or forth mass shooter mental defective that the .mil has unleashed on the public?

And the police......they failed to do their job under Maines Yellow Flag law....

The gun store actually did their job, government, as usual, failed.

Yep but the left will try to deflect from that even not mentioning the fact that the shooter did not even try to lie on the 4473.

Which he was.

He had been in a facility for 2 weeks and already evaluated by a professional, the military was informed, they informed the police....that is all the protocol they needed to go to a judge to pull his guns and ban him from getting more.......

Can you provide the link to the evidence those evaluation found him to be a danger to society or himself?

 

[2aguy]

Which he was.



Can you provide the link to the evidence those evaluation found him to be a danger to society or himself?

He stated he was hearing voices and wanted to do a mass public shooting, and his family was concerned about what he might do to the point they contacted the police, and he was put into a psychiatric facility for evaluation...his military unit took the evaluation and went to the local police and told them they were concerned about him.....

So...right there........I know you are an idiot...but please try to over come that defect.

The sheriff said the gunman had made threats against the Army base where he was assigned, prompting an alert to all law enforcement agencies in the state weeks before the mass shooting.
A sheriff in Maine says he sent an alert to all law enforcement agencies in the state last month after learning that an Army reservist had made threats against his base, a notification that came weeks before the reservist fatally shot 18 people in America’s deadliest mass shooting this year.
Sheriff Joel Merry of Sagadahoc County said he sent the alert sometime in September in an effort to find the reservist, Robert R. Card II, 40, who was said to have made threats regarding the Army Reserve center in Saco, Maine. He said he sent a deputy to Mr. Card’s home but that the deputy did not find him there, prompting the sheriff to send out the notice.
The revelation is the strongest sign yet that law enforcement was aware that Mr. Card was a potential danger before he carried out a rampage at a bowling alley and bar in Lewiston on Wednesday night.
“The guys, from what I know, paid due diligence to this and did attempt to locate Mr. Card and they couldn’t,” Sheriff Merry said in an interview on Saturday night.

The Maine Department of Public Safety, which had led a two-day manhunt for Mr. Card before he was found dead in a trailer at a recycling plant on Friday night, did not respond to requests for comment. The Associated Press first reported on the sheriff’s alert.

Maine Sheriff Says He Sent Statewide Alert About Gunman Last Month

The government failed....the gun store did it's job.

So...right there........I know you are an idiot...but please try to over come that defect.

He checked himself into the ward for evaluation, he was not put there by this family or by the authorities. You may not be smart enough to understand the difference, but it is a huge one.

The Gun store sold him the gun to start with... the Silencer (aren't those illegal under all cases?) was besides the point. He didn't kill 18 people with a silencer

Well, I guess it was nice he checked the box about the two week commitment, but the police should have confiscated his guns the minute he went in.

Please....try harder.

In Maine if he voluntarily committed himself to a mental institution then his guns can't be taken away....

That part is being researched, which took place in another state....it's being said that he voluntarily agreed to a mental evaluation at the facility in New York.....?

 

[Care4all]

It's likely why he was honest on his silencer application about being committed, he didn't think it would stop him from buying the silencer because his commitment was voluntary....

 

[Care4all]

In Maine under yellow flag it takes involuntary commitment by the police, then a psychiatrist recommendation, then a judge in the court to rule them being taken away, before they are ever taken away.....
