It's almost like they allow this to happen.

You missed the entire point. Lol. Other countries have gin bans. Why do laws work there and not here. Was my point and no I’m not asking for gun ban

We are at the front of the curve. Every nation follows us. Imo.

In England, they were arresting people for carrying the English flag. It has been deemed to be racist at a time like this. Is that even possible? But it sounds like what was happening during the BLM riots (or "proetests" for those in denial) where the American flag was a hate symbol to some during that time.

Common sense is not common anymore...

Can you do basic math?

What percentage of those other countries citizenry has gun ownership?

What country has it in the nations founding document, "the right to bear arms?

You are making a totally non-comparable argument.

Nearly half of Americans own a firearm and most own more then one? We have more gun owners then all of Europe combined.

You aren't educated properly on this subject and just spitting garbage.

Of course gun crimes are non-existent in countries that banned guns? Are you retarded?

being from Maine I am truly disappointed nobody took this scum bag out. I carry, at work, grocery store, wherever we go. A HUGE percentage of people in Maine carry so it astounds me that nobody was around to make this guy take a dirt nap. Then again Lewiston is a very blue town, so should I be surprised? The STATE of Maine / Feds are to blame for this incident. The guy threatened to shoot up a recruiting office and was institutionalized recently. As soon as someone is committed or is investigated for violent threats, federal agents / police officers should be sent immediately to that person's home to search if they own guns. Now I know that's not always the case, but had they done that, then this wouldn't have happened.

And in England you get arrested for carrying a Union Jack or English flag...in England. :rofl:
The only thing preventing that here is our guns.
Besides, a military gun instructor sure sounds A LOT like a sleeper agent.
Almost as if they are desperate for our guns...almost.

Arrested for carrying a Union Jack? I'd support that actually, but that doesn't happen.

Is an assault rifle going to help when the government send the F-16's?

Those planes gotta land and be fueled and armed somewhere. That somewhere, assault rifles will be plenty useful.
