There is not ONE SHRED of evidence that this guy killed anyone because he thought someone was going to take his guns away...Not one...

That line is nothing but an opinion made by an aquaintance who simply pointed out the guy's opinion on the issue...He said nothing that shows that that opinion WAS THE REASON for the shootings...

There's an old line which points this out very clearly...It goes like this...

In the summer, ice cream sales rise...

In the summer, crime goes up...

Conclusion - Crime goes up because more people are buying ice cream...
Obviously, the answer is bullsh*t...

But it shows how people can take 2 true statements and warp the results...

That's what's happening here...They're taking a statement attributed to the killer and falsely using that as the reason for killings...

As stated, he was Stormfronter, a conspiracy theorist, a guy with a violent attack on his record, and a guy dishonorably discharged from the army...all BEFORE believing any statements about guns or bans or anything of the sort...

Yet some pretend that evidence doesn't exist and go straight to the "How can I manipulate this and make it politically advantageous?"...
