Hello and welcome to Maine Justice. It is Tuesday morning, December 16th. Wow. Time like ridiculously

flies. It does. I'm Andrew Weissman and that was my co-host Mary McCord. Mary, good morning. Good morning. We had spent a lot of times because there's so much to cover, but then the weekend happened.

And so why don't we take a few moments just because it was, I mean, it's just so horrific on the east coast of the United States, on the west coast of the United States, overseas.

That is just a fact and statistic in America that it should appall everyone.

I did see that. Your heart goes out to them because it's such a scarring experience once,

as one of the students said, I thought my salvation would be statistically, what are the odds

of this happening to me again? It's like, in other words, it's happened once, so I'm sort of done.

And, you know, I remember when President Obama used to just get so infuriated because

there's so many things that we could do to lessen the number of guns in this country,
