Targets of Maine Mass public shooter were gun free zones.

[MinTrut]

Gun free zones will get you murdered....they leave normal people defenseless against violent monsters......just ask the Israelis on Oct. 7, or the people in Main.

He apparently picked two gun-free zones to do his attack. The picture here is from 2021. The sign for Just-in-Time Bowling Alley, located at 24 Mollison Way, Lewiston, ME 04240, reads: “We kindly ask that you refrain from bringing firearms in this building and we would appreciate it if you left them in your vehicle. Please keep our atmosphere family friendly.”

One moment, please...

Connies the night of the shooting:

"He's a Mooooslem!!!!"

Connies now that they know he's a MAGA terrorist:

"It was the drugs/gun-free zones!!!!"

 

[bodecea]

The people in the bar and bowling alley didn't have access to any gun.......

Says who?

 

[wamose]

You are an idiot. Lets stop there.

If they'd just change the assassin's name to Trump, the FBI would arrest him within an hour. Why do I always have to think of this shit. MAGA

 

[Baron]

Gun free zones will get you murdered...

The Second Amendment was created to protect the people from such psychos and government

 

[pknopp]

Did they?

I guess you haven't been paying attention.

 

[pknopp]

Neither are the authoritarian governments where the citizens are not allowed to have guns, Only the government thugs and the crooks.

Our Founding Fathers were smart enough to know that. Idiots like you are not.

What a rambling mess of a reply.

 

[MinTrut]

What a rambling mess of a reply.

I blame the gun-free zones.

 

[pknopp]

I blame the gun-free zones.

Go ahead. There are plenty examples of places where people were armed that people still shot and killed others.

^ Wooooosh.

You REALLY need to read threads before responding to them...

 

[Care4all]

I guess you haven't been paying attention.

Well, I've tried an experiment so to say, and have only listen to and read local yokel news, though I have read bits of what the national and internet news and 24/7 news is apparently reporting from posts on here.....

And people here in our media are not jumping at the bit to make this political, as the National herd of reporters and members on this site....right now the focus is on catching him and staying safe and mourning the beloved dead that everyone in their tight knit community seemed to know....the local news isn't trying to pit one another against each other....not yet.... To pit the community against the police or laws is simply pitting the community against their own brothers and sisters.....before any of the real facts and circumstances and mistakes are actually known and they can digest the gravity of the whole shocking to our world, tragedy.

So, yeah.... I definitely could be missing out on all that pointing fingers, fun.... I suppose.....? But, for right now....I'm okay with that....

So you are saying if this guy would have walked in the bowling alley while you were there and started spraying the joint, you would have pulled out your gun and shot him on the spot.

Please point out where it says it is against the law to bring your firearm into the bowling alley.

I think he may have killed himself

 

[rightwinger]

Every gun owner imagines they would do exactly that.

But with 400 million guns out there, it rarely happens

 

[Care4all]

I think he may have killed himself

I hate to say I hope so, but I hope so....only if they find him....it'll be so unsettling, if they don't.

He is a born and bread Mainer in a wooded area, so it is likely he can survive in the woods and knows where to go and find a camp or something abandoned for the winter.... Today and tomorrow it is in the 70s but a cold front is heading in where some lows may hit the 20s in the night, he'll have to burn a fire for heat.... May be easier to catch him in the cold, if he is still alive.

Hunting season begins with sunrise tomorrow for local residents....those surrounding towns have canceled hunting in their woods cuz search teams are still out there...and safety concerns....

In my opinion, they need to let the hunters in...they know the woods better than any and can get the guy....

 

[pknopp]

So you are saying if this guy would have walked in the bowling alley while you were there and started spraying the joint, you would have pulled out your gun and shot him on the spot.

No...it was a gun free zone, normal people can't bring guns in there...you idiot.

 

[2aguy]

When idiots like you declare almost all public spaces "gun free zones," for normal people, of course it doesn't happen that often...people can't have their guns with them...

But it does happen....

The story dates are below...the actual stories and links to the news article are in the link below.....



If you want to see the details of each shooting, you will have to go to the link....the very end of the article lists shootings stopped by off duty police officers...I did not include those.....

No...it was a gun free zone, normal people can't bring guns in there...you idiot.

How do you know it was a gun free zone?

Maine's gun laws means owners can carry a weapon without a permit - as the city experiences its second mass shooting in months.

Currently, Maine operates under a 'Concealed Carry' law, which came into force in 2015 and allows a gun owner to carry a concealed without need to apply for a permit.

Because several people have shown the gun free zone sign in the window...

And establishments can say no you can't.
