I am sure he has his personal security plan in place for that too.

I do feel the same, then in a moment of retrospection I’d feel guilty for feeling that way, but you just can’t help it. We are so emotionally exhausted with these incidents because of the helplessness of it all that it’s hard to muster an ounce of outrage after 20 years of inaction and disappointment.
Maybe you can save your sarcasm when since it's children involved. Do you live here? Do you know what those families are going through right now? No you don't and to generalize and say Murica gonna Murica is a bit insensitive. Yes we vote but not just for who will make the right choice when it comes to firearms. You're indirectly blaming the people dying right now for the gun laws here and that's not entirely fair.
Just one day it would be nice to go to bed after reading about another atrocity in the world to wake up to something nice. 
RIP to all the victims of yet another attack that will do nothing to wake up the US to this massive problem.
RIP to all the victims of yet another attack that will do nothing to wake up the US to this massive problem.I was under the impression that the North East (Maine, Vermont etc) generally is very safe and these stats seem to back that up. I know that it's still the US, but this tragedy must be particularly shockingTweet

I feel guilty as hell for thinking "oh, it's been a while since the last mass shooting in America" the other day while driving.
I’d love to see how Hannity would MMA his way out of a crowded space with an active shooter. These conservative pundits really do have no fecking clue. I think he may actually believe that his martial arts training would help him in a situation like that.
Title probably wants updating, he's still on the run. They found his car abandoned apparently.
Abandoned at a boat launch - he owns a jet ski, evidently. He could be anywhere now. He's a firearms instructor who has mental illness and has previously threatened to carry out a shooting. Why did he still have access to guns?
Yep, madness. Spent 2 weeks in a mental institution in the summer too apparently.
No, nothing will change on this front, ever.
Horrible as it sounds, most americans have accepted that these shootings are better than the alternative, "bothersome" gun regulations and all that.
fecking hell. What is he trying to do besides from take the #1 spot from the Vegas shooter?
feck me he's aged!
Hannity needs to be waterboarded, by force, to make good on his promise.
A clearly deranged man is still allowed to use firearms. You can’t explain such madness.
Another mass shooting. Another pointless debate to ensue that’ll change absolutely nothing.
The problem is that even if he is not allowed, it's ridiculously easy to get guns over there. I imagine it's particularly easy if you are a retired firearms instructor, he must have some connections.
This is not an argument against banning mentally ill people from having guns, of course - I just can't see a way out for the US.
Wow.
The people in power in America make a ton of money selling firearms and ammunition .. this is nothing more than a inconvenience to them.
Their argument to all this will be for you to purchase a firearm and ammunition from them to protect yourself if something like this happens near you.
Its all about the profit.
America in a nutshell right there.

That's his soul showing.
Let's hope he ages straight into the grave.
It won't. It's burned far too deep in to the culture of America. Guns guns guns.
So sad that something like this will spend a day on the front pages then be forgotten about forever.
These incidents are so unbelievably tragic but preventable.
There's not anything remotely good about them but if just one of them could lead to positive change in the way of gun reform then the lives lost would be slightly less in vain - it's still too late for the victims families.
They're stuck in a cycle though - half of Maine will go out and buy guns to protect themselves now and all it takes is one of them to have a mental breakdown and they've got the means to kill as many people as they want just tucked under their bed.
Wouldnt count on it, bad people tends to live longer, just look at Kissinger.
World has never been fair.
Maine has no background checks for fire arms sales.
This is it. If a country can allow 20+ little kids get blasted away by an assault rifle and change nothing then they are eternally fecked.
What a fecking country.
RIP to the victims

Absolutely awful. But not surprising.
Everyone goes nuts over the atrocities of Hamas and rightly so yet this sht happens all the time in America. Ok the level that Hamas inflicted at one time is much worse but still stats like 560 mass shootings in 2023, 49,000 gun related deaths in 2001, killing children and women and nothing is done about it. Its fkn madness
A fair assessment.
Listening to a guy on the radio the other day and he was saying a similar thing about the wars and conflicts. Everytime a new one kicks off or one starts again, the weapons companies stock prices and profits go up. There's just too many vested interests in prolonging conflict for profit, that not enough is being done to stop it.
Same goes for people carrying guns, once the guys making all the money have the biggest say, absolutely nothing will be done to curb the sale and supply of pointlessy dangerous weapons to everyday people.

Issue is not one person stateside has the bottle to challenge that nefarious, overrated piece of crap they worship, the constitution.
Never have I read such a poorly thought out yet blindly venerated document.
While the second amendment is there, no chance this ever changes.

The USA: where you have so much freedom that you can have your life cut short by the freedom of some disgruntled autoworker with a cache of military hardware.
Half the country has been brainwashed thinking it's all about freedom -- when they have no idea what freedom means.
Freedom from fear or crime and dogma for starters. Try Maslow's hierarchy of needs, work your way up the pryrmid
Most Americans need to wake-up and not be triggered by words like constitutional rights, freedom of speech or my rights.
So much bullshit indoctrination, being manipulated by the powers to be. Blue v red manipulation.
So stupid

And that's the bottom line. The ecosystem is worth trillions. It's going nowhere. At all.
Price to pay for freedom
Yeap and he was right in his warnings.
It will be a mentally ill person, the reports are he is white.
You sound like some kind of woke snowflake hippy communist.
Is about the level of stupidity you can expect from the right when trying to have such a discussion.
This has nothing to do with the proliferation of arms within the people. You have to go back to the days of the well regulated militias to find the actual root cause.
Don't know if freedom matters; what does is that this is the biggest money maker in the country and it has exponential growth.
The answer to this latest tragedy will obviously be the purchase of even more guns and ammo whilst the usual rhetoric from both sides plays as what is white noise by now.
No government is taking away an industry that ceaselessly fills their coffers.
