If only. The story isn't over, considering this is one of many leftist trannies shooting up children in the last few years. Considering many support the actions of this shooter for political reasons. There will be another trannie shooter, shooting up a church and children, that doesn't change until the political reasons are addressed.

Oh, I can believe a lot of it is antagonism. I still remember “Easter Worshipers”. I think a lot of it is naked frustration and hate.

I do believe that people really aren’t educated though. God is a means to an end for them, rather than the end they want to achieve.
 
Ever since Sandy Hook with the laughing, smiling "father" that looked like he was just paid off a million bucks instead of losing a child, I don't trust a single one of these shootings. That being said, regardless if it's real or not, they will end up using it to try and take away guns from law abiding citizens.
 
So is this one going to get memory-holed or not? Sandy Hook, Uvalde, El Paso Walmart, Parkland keep getting brought up. Sutherland Springs, King Soopers, and a bunch others get memory-holed. Even on a longer period, Columbine gets remembered, Luby's gets forgotten.

It doesn't help that low churches tend to treat prayer like it's The Secret and God like he's a cargo cult deity.

Oh you bet your ass I’m picturing what we should do with them

I hope it doesn't get lost in the compression of time that Democrat politicians came out instantly with the anti-gun angle on this, before anyone knew a single detail about this story except that the shooter was "a man dressed in all black." This thread is a valuable chronological archive for that kind of thing.

Notice it's mainly the LGBTQ people who have no sympathy towards those who died, and instead want to make this about "le heccin' ebil trvmp" and how "oppressed" troons are.

Nice find. The biggest argument against modern leftist ideas is the hot mess these people make of their own lives. He's 42, married to an obese woman, has multiple kids, and he's out there looking for a dick up his ass. He's going to end up divorced, and the kids will know he ruined their lives for cock.
 
The Fag was a proper schizophrenic, basically lambasting Christ and churchgoers while also shitting on "Spics" and "Niggers" in his deranged manifestoes and gun scribbles. Basically, the fucker was so off his rocker concerning his political diatribe and meandering that he's allowed both the right and the left wing to deny any culpability and lay the blame on the other side's political framework for motivating his attack:

Left: "SHE WAS A RACIST NAZI WHO HATED BLACKS, MEXICANS, AND JEWS!"

Right: "HE WAS A GODLESS HEATHEN WHO HATED CHRIST AND WAS WOKE!"

Reality, he was a deranged troon who should have just turned the barrel of the gun on himself and saved us all the trouble.
 
Suspected shooter legally purchased rifle, pistol and shotgun; local politicians call for action
The Minnesota Star Tribune (archive.ph)
By Deena Winter and Paul Walsh
2025-08-28 02:43:50GMT

The entire 13-member Minneapolis City Council called for law changes, saying, “Thoughts and prayers cannot be our only response.”
Robin Westman used a legally purchased rifle, pistol and shotgun for the siege on a Minneapolis Catholic church Wednesday morning, killing two children sitting in pews on the third day of school and injuring 17 other people before dying by suicide in the back of the church.

Westman had legally purchased all three weapons recently, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said during a Wednesday news conference.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives was on the scene Wednesday at Annunciation Church. ATF spokeswoman Ashlee Sherrill told the Star Tribune the agency did an expedited trace of the weapons’ purchase history, which was completed by Wednesday afternoon and turned over to investigators.

A notebook entry in English but using Cyrillic letters on a YouTube account believed to be the shooter’s referenced how “shockingly easy” it was to buy a gun from a pawn shop.

Minnesota gun laws
Under Minnesota law, any purchaser of a firearm is subject to a federal background check, but not necessarily a permit.

You need a permit to purchase a handgun, but not most shotguns or rifles. Certain shotguns, rifles or pistol-type firearms are classified as “semi-automatic military style assault weapons” under state statute and require a permit to purchase. Most traditional hunting firearms don’t require a permit to purchase.

You need to be 21 to buy a handgun in Minnesota and 18 to purchase all other guns. Westman was 23.

There is no limit to how many firearms one person may own in Minnesota.

Westman would’ve needed a permit to purchase the handgun and semiautomatic military rifle. Applying for such a permit takes more time than an actual in-store purchase and includes a background check. The shotgun purchase also would have required a background check, but that can be completed while the customer waits.

“So all of the background checks that we want done were done,” said Rob Doar, senior vice president of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and a gun-rights advocate.

Westman had no criminal record, according to O’Hara and a search of criminal court records.

The shooter’s guns
Doar reviewed a YouTube video believed to be posted by Westman showing various guns and ammunition and identified the weapons as an AR-15 rifle, a Mossberg 590 Cruiser shotgun, a Smith & Wesson M&P compact 9mm handgun with three magazines, and a revolver that appears to be a Colt 38 Special police issue.

Doar also saw in the video two 30-round AR-15 magazines among numerous others holding anywhere from 20 to 60 rounds.

The AR-15 magazine had M855 NATO Green Tip ammunition, while the 9-millimeter handgun had Full Metal Jacket rounds.

“Both of these are relatively cheap, range ammunition, not typically used for hunting or self-defense, as they have poor soft target performance,” Doar said. “The NATO round is designed to shoot through barricades, utilizing a steel core. They are sold cheaply as surplus range ammunition.”

Calls for stricter gun laws
As is often the case after a mass shooting in America, Democrats Wednesday began calling for stricter gun laws, although there were few specifics.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Wednesday that more than “thoughts and prayers” were needed.

“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school,” Frey said during a news conference.

The 13-member Minneapolis City Council released a statement calling for changes to laws, saying such tragedies have become “far too common” in the U.S.

“Every level of government must act to ensure that these preventable tragedies never happen again,” the council said. “We are committed to working with local, state, federal government, and all other partners to pass meaningful changes to our laws that will make our community safer.”

Gov. Tim Walz said after the TV cameras are gone, Minnesotans will work to prevent any future “unthinkable” tragedies that are all too common.

“Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, but also keep us in the thoughts for action,” Walz said during a news conference.

Doar said that instead of “chasing our tails when we’re trying to figure out what type of law could have prevented this,” investigators should look at the signs that preceded the shootings.

Minnesota consistently earns high ratings by gun-control groups, he noted, and last year a red-flag law went into effect allowing family members, roommates, partners and law enforcement to petition judges to temporarily remove guns from people they fear are a danger to themselves or others.

That law, along with expanded background checks for transfers and increased penalties for machine gun ownership, went into effect in 2023 after Democrats passed them while in control of the Legislature and governor’s office.

Gun regulations face challenges
Restricting firearms has proven difficult in recent years.

In a series of landmark cases last decade, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment enshrines the right of Americans to own many types of guns for self-defense, vastly narrowing the degree to which states and local governments can enact their own restrictions.

Meanwhile, Minnesota lawmakers have faced obstacles as well.

This summer, for example, the state Supreme Court ruled that it is legal for Minnesotans to possess ghost guns without a serial number because current state law does not clearly restrict it. Weeks later, the state’s high court struck down state law that bans what are known as binary triggers on guns because lawmakers tucked it into a massive budget bill in a way that violated the state Constitution.

Susan Du of the Minnesota Star Tribune contributed to this story.
 
They really had this "FUCK PRAYER!" talking point all planned out for the next school shooting and decided to go with it despite it being a Catholic Mass shooting too. This isn't some random Redditor it is the central party. It's fucking insane and it's time for Republicans to start dropping some serious responses because god knows the Catholic clergy will be too pussy to do it themselves.

This nutter's manifesto supposedly just leaked.

It's pretty dark shit, and contains 20+ pages of adoration for school shooters, a desire to murder children because they would be more afraid, and several pages expressing a desire to emulate Not Important, all in fake Russian.

Fucking deranged is the only way to describe it.

We've had this material for quite a while, although doesn't hurt to ping it again I suppose.

This is new, looks like he did buy the guns then. It's what it looked like considering the journals described going to gun stores and buying gear in general.
