I read with great interest about U.S. Sen. Susan Collins’ proposal to ban gun purchases by people on the “no fly” and “selectee” lists – about 2,700 people, according to a June 22 Press Herald report.

It would be instructive to know how many of the mass shooters of the last five years would have been on one of those lists.
