What other possible response could there be?Thoughts and prayers will work this time, I'm sure of it.
Ban guns? Or, at the VERY least, revisit the ridiculous second amendment to outlaw at least some TYPES of guns.What other possible response could there be?

It's a bit of a mad country where the people in charge feel threatened if they stand up to those who own – and use – firearms.
Preaching to the choir here. I know young Joe has set up a firearms taskforce, albeit with an initially limited scope (sorry) but hopefully that can grow and expand. I forget the comedian who said that for all the campaigning against the NRA, all anyone needed to do was register a load of anti-gun activists and then vote down all of their proposals. Ultimately, the way to change the second amendment are to elect candidates who support gun reform. That's it - it's that simple, in theory.Ban guns?

Depends what colour the person is who shoots him, and that is not being flippant.What would happen if a local found him and shot him dead ?
And don’t be flippant ….

I don't think we'll ever understand the American fascination with guns but eventually and gradually it will change if the right people are elected and empowered to take the slow step by slow step by slow step to change the narrative around guns. Eventually that would change the culture but it's something which would span multiple presidencies and the country tends to switch between a Democrat and a Republican president. Given how extreme the MAGA Republicans now are, it's hard to imagine anyone chosen by that party to be its presidential nominee being anything other than a nutjob but more specifically, a pro-gun activist.

‘Known by police to have mental health issues’ (according to reports) yet still allowed to own automatic weapons.Guardian: "Robert Card, the man identified as a person of interest in the Lewiston shootings, is a firearms instructor trained by the military, according to a state police bulletin."
Feel for the cops. Not an amateur and not the type of guy I would want to be hunting in daylight, let alone the night.
Second amendment makes no mention of mental health. I expect he still has a legal right to carry arms. Land of the free full of f***ed up people.‘Known by police to have mental health issues’ (according to reports) yet still allowed to own automatic weapons.
My next door neighbour was diagnosed with mild dementia - the police firearms licencing officer was on to him within 24 hours of receiving notification from the doc with orders to give up his gun (his father’s old 12 bore he used for shooting rabbits on his smallholding). Thank goodness for UK gun laws.
