Well, the FBI does claim they had no knowledge of Card... but IF that is true... is that really a good thing???
Should the FBI be preoccupied with grandma's and grandpa's that took selfies in the Capitol on J6, or should they use their resources elsewhere for other things? You know... like ACTUAL credible threats to the public!!!
Police across Maine were alerted just last month to “veiled threats” by the U.S. Army reservist who killed 18 people in Lewiston mass shooting.

Despite the earlier threats, the FBI said Saturday Card had not been on its radar, telling AP it “did not have nor did it receive any tips or information concerning Robert Card.” The bureau added that its instant background check system “was not provided with or in possession of any information that would have prohibited Card from a lawful firearm purchase.”
Card’s case stands as a glaring example of missed red flags, with many unanswered questions about what the military, police, mental health professionals and relatives could have done to prevent the massacre.
While Maine does not have a red flag law, it does have a more limited “
yellow-flag ” law that would still allow police to petition a judge to take a person’s firearms away if a medical practitioner deems that person to be a threat.
