The disturbed gunman who killed 18 people and wounded 13 others in Lewiston, Maine, probably could not have committed his mass shooting in California.
That’s because our “red flag” law surely would have prevented the massacre. This is the opinion of state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta and UC firearms researcher Garen Wintemute. Their reasoning makes sense. California’s red flag law enables family members, domestic partners, fearful exes, co-workers and teachers to report someone who’s acting scary — maybe threatening to shoot up a place. Cops will investigate and a judge can order the person’s guns confiscated. But the law is underused.
He began acting erratically over the summer, telling people he had been “hearing voices” and accusing fellow reservists of calling him a pedophile. He shoved one of them. State police took him to a psychiatric hospital where he spent two weeks. Afterward, Card threatened to shoot up an Army reserve drill center.
