They want to murder as many people as possible to show how easy it is to murder many people.
While mass murderers are as likely to be mentally deranged environmentalists as they are to be Muslims (most do not show political affiliation), some have made clear they favored keeping guns from the general public. It is the ultimate in logic-defying irrationality of those who promote disarmament.
They want to murder as many people as possible to show how easy it is to murder many people.
[the mass murderer] made three key points in the manifesto, which is in the hands of the police: he wanted to kill himself, he wanted to prove how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and he wanted to highlight a mental health crisis in America.
The mass-murderer legally purchased an AR-15 assault rifle on April 4, six days before he entered the bank at 8:33am where he was met by a friendly woman colleague at the entrance. He told her ‘you need to get out of here’ before he tried to shoot her.
But the weapon was unloaded and the safety catch was on. He then loaded the rifle, flicked off the safety and blasted the fleeing woman in the back.
Two things stand out from the paragraph above. First, The murderer could see the way to media fame was to promote gun control by murdering many people with an AR15-type rifle. Second, if the bank employee had not been forcibly disarmed by her employer, it is possible she could have stopped the mass murder before it happened because of the incompetence of the murderer.
