Another day, another mass shooting — this time in Maine where 22 people were killed and another 60 injured when a man allegedly wielding an AR-15-style rifle (you know the type that Lauren Boebert poses holding in family photos with her children) targeted a bowling alley and bar.
Inevitably, the narrative from here will follow a familiar pattern:
Shock.
Widespread condemnation.
A deep dive into the background of the assailant to find something…. anything… to blame for the attack — apart from the fact that the shooter had access to a high-powered weapon.
