The tragic crime playing out in Lewiston Maine makes me sad but I’m not at all surprised. Maine, like nearly all the States in the USA has gun laws far more lax than required by the 2nd Amendment. So they have far more gun deaths than Massachusetts by nearly a factor of four! Maine ranks 17th of 50 while Massachusetts ranks #1 for gun safety.
Since Maine was originally part Massachusetts, and it’s population in the southern region is increasingly migrants from states in the top 5 for gun safety, I hope they will wake up and adopt some the successful gun safety laws that Massachusetts has had for decades.
Sadly, this is likely to be the common response from the gun nuts.
