      It never goes away but time does help heal you. But it’s always there you never forget what ever it is that’s burned into your brain and soul. You wish you could forget that would be a blessing. Sometimes we even do forget if the trauma is severe enough our brains protect themselves from it.

      He was a fire arms specialist. This could indicate the shooters mental state, possibly. A fully coherent specialist with mental faculties intact, most likely would not have an issue or act accordingly. Why a bowling alley and a bar? Most in a bowling alley likely would not be with ccw due to such movement when bowling, then family atmosphere. The bar could have been a different scenario as for ccw, though most would have most likely not been carrying due to legalities associated within the law's views with a firearm while intoxicated. There is a sense of this shooter not engaging enough of threat to himself that would or could have been his demise. Folks that do not actually care about how their own life will stay until stopped. This feller did not stay in the area for any followup engagements. His state of mind is actually more dangerous because of this. He most likely is evaluating his actions at this point, whether or not to continue, fight his way out or give himself up. I would say he has already made these decisions to himself. The uneasiness in the public's eye is of not knowing. The switch has already been activated when he engaged the first victim. A point of no return. An eye for an eye in every sense. The belief of law enforcement wanting to engage this man stands out more so then apprehension without a standoff. Folks are just getting tired of our judicial systems dealing with crimes. It is not the choice of weapons here folks, he could have exploded a bomb, electrocuted, the list is long as what could have been used to create bodily injury. It is our system that needs to be overhauled. It goes much deeper than just why they so incoherently dive into the mental state for accountability. Yes, there are those that actually need help but, how we have as a society gotten to this point. As they have already stated, this fellow slipped through the cracks that had enough evidence to sustain him for help yet was not acted upon. We all want some form of justice but yet again, here we are, cannot keep our borders secure, we are failing as world power, mistrust and no accountability are rampant, defunding law enforcement, our judicial system is politicized, our country's core values do not exist anymore. The list goes on and on. As our internal insecurities are coming to a boiling point I'll leave everyone with but just one final thought. What has the rest of the world been able to finally do to this country over the course of the last 40 plus years? Bring the unrest and insecurity they have known for centuries to our doorstep. Now look at us. We fear all and trust no one.

The last time I went bowling I noticed what looked like a twenty-year-old bowling on the lane next to me caring a semiauto pistol in a holster on his waist. I thought to myself why in the hell would anybody carry a firearm while bowling, I guess now I know the answers to that question.

      "Open carry is not lawful in establishments licensed to serve alcohol for consumption on premises (bars, clubs, certain restaurants and so on) provided there is a "no firearms" sign posted in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of patrons or if the carrier of firearms is under the influence of alcohol or drugs by the same standards as apply for operating a motor vehicle."

    I grew up in Auburn- Sparetime Rec Center and Schemengees are staples to everyone in the Lewiston/Auburn area. I spent many weekends bowling with my friends at Sparetime growing up and my brother spent his weekends at Schemengees playing pool.
    It really is a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other…and if you don’t, than you know their son, daughter, brother, sister, cousin, neighbor etc. I have always felt grateful growing up in a place like Maine.

      It's always easier to shift the blame to an inanimate object. It can't defend its character, and it gets both sides arguing about gun laws and not why the vast majority of police and government agencies can't do a damn thing right.

      @@grahamyates2490 He wasnt "legally" allowed to still own the firearms that he had previously purchased legally. There are laws that are supposed to prevent things like this from happening, specifically when someone is admitted to a psychiatric care facility and ESPECIALLY when theyve also made direct threats to assault a military base...which is exactly what happened with this dude. The only problem is, those laws werent enforced and acted upon. What new laws would you propose that would prevent something like this, if the ones already on the books failed to prevent it?
      The reality is, the system, laws, mental healthcare etc. routinely fail in this country even though they SHOULD work together to prevent things like this from happening..so what is the solution then? Accountability and significant change/improvement? Sure, thatd be nice. But even if all of those things WERE robust and effective at stopping a majority of these things from happening, guess what? Crazy, evil people will still exist and they will still attempt to do things like this, and the ONLY way to mitigate the loss of innocent life when these things inevitably happen is for there to be an armed, trained citizen who steps up to be a defender, there is no "waiting for the police" to come save you in these situations, its "can you defend your life and the people around you instantly" or not?

      No, not in Maine there aren't.
      The law in Maine does not prevent a person who has voluntarily submitted themselves to a medical facility from owning firearms.
      Get proper laws passed so the police can enforce them!
      " the ONLY way to mitigate the loss of innocent life when these things inevitably happen is for there to be an armed, trained citizen who steps up to be a defender"
      That argument completely falls apart when you look at other developed countries.
      The US already has more armed people than any other country in Europe or Asia - and yet it still has a far higher rate of firearm murders and suicides.
      Why can all those other countries 'mitigate the loss of innocent life' but the US can't?

Gun fire in a building doesn't pop and a are in a building doesn't sound the same as out side close to it in proximity or the way it may sound like 2 shots under a bridge instead of 1 because of percussion echo. Highly suspect. I wonder if the gun is in water next to shore under the bridge while his body floats down stream. Just curious.

    Interesting that the first guy say he wasn't concerned by any threat from Card.Exact sentiment when Robert Card *allegedly* called the school making threats a short while before, another point to acknowledge is that despite the first calls to police after 7:00pm, cops were closing parts of Lewistown from 5pm not long after phone call to school by Robert Card.
    A spokesman (school head teacher/law offical) stated the same response, it is extremely unfortunate for the male child in the list of 18 dead and I know others may have been injured, however it is obvious that particular adults were the focus of the shooter.
    I feel so much sorrow for all of the children at all locations.Childhood should be one of our most carefree times in our lives, free from any forms of harm.

    The guy in cap said he was also 30 feet away from Card with his back turned away from door when he heard a pop, upon looking around he saw Card(never met him in his entire life before he stated)stood frantically looking around with his gun pointed to the floor as his gun jammed.
    Man in cap hesitated and wished in that moment he had a gun but decided to tell his group to leave via the back exit, where he reported some were being trampled on trying to flee outside.
    Yet first guy says while also 30 feet away he was around a corner, then particular lanes were closed but guy in cap said in another interview there were two groups being ran by him and a woman he has known for right years who is one of the deceased.
    So there were three groups being taught by three adults then on Wednesday night.
