It's terrible. Worse yet, the guy responsible is a firearms instructor in the Army Reserve...a skilled operator, I suppose you could say. What a nightmare situation.

Maine only has yellow flag rules and it looks like they've not been used.
I still can't understand why assault weapons are for sale.

Sorry, shouldn't make light of it, but it happens so often now we're becoming desensitized to it.
