Credit to Forbes Article by Haddon Lockyer Payton Gendron, the 18 year old accused of killing 10 in a racially-motivated shooting spree in Buffalo, New York, revealed that he chose to carry out his attack in New York because of their strict gun laws. In Gendron's large manifesto, which he scheduled to upload online as he attacked the Tops supermarket in Buffalo, Gendron outlined his reasoning for attacking that specific location, saying that New York's strict gun control laws were an "ease" to him, because he knew that he wouldn't run into anyone with a gun strong enough to stop his rampage. He wrote: "...NY has heavy gun laws so it would ease me if I knew that any legally armed civilian was limited to 10 round magazines or cucked firearms." Gendron, a white supremacist, also stated that he chose the Buffalo Tops location because he knew it was in a predominantly black neighborhood, and he knew it would be busy during the time of the attack. A screenshot from part of Gendron's alleged manifesto is below. (Note: Gendron had redacted the name of the location [Buffalo] in the original release of the Manifesto in order to prevent people from discovering his location plans if an issue occurred with the post scheduling.)
Credit to Spectrum News Despite Gendron himself claiming that he was emboldened to carry out the attack because of New York's strict gun control laws, top Leftist officials have attempted to use the tragedy to pass even stronger gun control bills. For example, after the attack, President Biden said: “There are certain things we can do. We can keep assault weapons off our streets. We’ve done it before. I did it when I passed the crime bill." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D) also advocated towards "ridding our streets of weapons of war.” However, moderate Democrat Senator Joe Manchin has thrown in wrench in their plans, saying that the most important goal is getting guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, rather than placing stronger restrictions on law-abiding citizens. “The biggest problem that we have — we haven’t done enough with mental illness in this country, and that’s something we should all agree on needs to be absolutely stepped up." During Gendron's rampage, one man, Aaron Salter (a former NYPD officer and Tops's security guard), heroically fired at the murderer, attempting to stop him. However, because Salter was limited to a small gun per NY's gun laws, his bullet was not enough to stop Gendron, especially because Gendron was wearing body armor. Gendron then returned fire, killing Salter. Credit to Today Salter is one of 10 people killed in the attack. Gendron has been charged with first-degree murder and is awaiting a trial.
