The Republican senator Susan Collins is facing sharp criticism for her previous voting record on gun control after a mass shooting in her home state of Maine that killed 18 people and injured more than a dozen.
Collins, a US senator for Maine since 1997, received backlash to a statement she posted after a mass shooting on Wednesday in Lewiston, in the south of Maine. The attack happened when a gunman opened fire at a local bowling alley and restaurant.
In statement after the shooting, Collins thanked those showing support, including Joe Biden. “As our state mourns this horrific mass shooting, we appreciate the support we’ve received from across the country, including the call I received from President Biden offering assistance,” Collins said.

Issue is that many perpetrators of mass shootings get their guns both legally and easily.

These Mass Shooters All Bought Their Guns Legally
The gunman who killed five people in Louisville bought his AR-15 legally. Other mass shooters have too.

But, just one more law will fix the whole problem.
It is always just one more law that we need, because criminals are crazies are always going to obey the next law even though all the previous laws have failed.

As of 2023, every day, 37 people in the United States die in car crashes with an alcohol-impaired driver. This is one death every 39 minutes. (CDC).
Yet not a peep out of anyone as it's just fine with people. If you want this to stop then stop playing politics and do the hard work need to solve the problem.
