He also inherited one of the guns from a friend in Canada in 2009, despite being barred from gun ownership after a 2002 conviction, and the RCMP failed to act on information about his illegal gun stash in at least 2011 and 2013.
Wikipedia also disagrees with the sources of the guns. Of the five, one rifle he inherited, the other was bought by a friend at a gun store in California and then given to him. He acquired one pistol from the guy in the article, another was loaned to him by someone else, and the fifth was a service pistol from one of the cops he shot. Nothing about a gun show in Houlton.

>On April 18–19, 2020, Gabriel Wortman committed multiple shootings and set fires at 16 locations in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, killing 22 people and injuring three others before he was shot and killed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in Enfield. For most of the thirteen-hour crime spree, Wortman was driving a replica RCMP cruiser and may have been wearing parts of an RCMP uniform. On December 4, three people, including Wortman's partner, were charged with supplying him with ammunition later used in the attacks.

Ya never said it was all Maine weapons. Some serious balls were dropped in Canada hence the commission, and some extreme law changes. Canada and Nova Scotia acted on it and made changes, and they are still.imvesotgotng and calling people to testify . But that's half the battle, the American border is proving a difficult issue. Having some support by federal and state governments would be appreciated, but it is becoming more and more apparent there is little will or care. Sadly.
