Democrats Demand “Assault Weapons” Ban After Trans Mass Shooting In Minneapolis

In the US, gun deaths are often the focus of progressive and international criticism, with claims that the nation is a wellspring of violence and murder that could be solved simply by banning firearms.  The disdain of the political left for the 2nd Amendment is no secret and their efforts to erase gun rights from the Constitution is a constant point of contention within American society.  

Of course, this means that Democrats are required to ignore every other contributing factor to any shooting and deflect when they are confronted with inconvenient truths.  Leftists are, once again, attempting to redirect public discourse as yet another trans shooter has hit the news feeds.  The Minneapolis killer is one of at least five active shooters since 2018 that were confirmed as transgender. 

Multiple other active shooter events have taken place in which the trans status of the killers was suspected but never revealed by authorities (authorities tried to hide Audrey Hale’s trans status and her manifesto, for example).

In the case of the Robert Westman, a male posing as a female, notes from a manifesto and other evidence indicates that the trans ideology was central to his decision to murder two children and injure 17 others at a Christian school.  It was the direct inspiration for the attack.

However, Democrat leaders and media figures like former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki argue otherwise.  They claim that the availability of “assault rifles” is the real cause, not the insane political philosophy that ruled over Westman’s every waking moment.  Psaki shed alligator tears for the children of the Church of the Annunciation, while simultaneously denying that the trans ideology had anything to do with it and blaming conservatives for not supporting a firearms ban.

Mayor Frey Wept at Career Criminal George Floyd’s Funeral, Defended Catholic School Shooter

Video footage widely shared on social media showed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pausing at George Floyd’s casket during a memorial. He dropped to one knee, sobbed, and appeared to whisper something.

This display of grief for a career criminal stood in sharp contrast to his response after the August 27, 2025, shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where trans-identifying shooter Robin Westman killed two children and wounded 17 others.

Rather than focusing on the tragedy, Frey used the press conference to criticize Christians for praying and to voice support for the transgender community over alleged insults.

The murder of 19 innocent people, mostly children, as they prayed is a far greater loss than that of George Floyd. Court documents from Harris County, Texas, where Floyd lived most of his life, show he faced nine criminal charges, including three drug cases, two theft charges, trespassing, and aggravated robbery.

His most serious conviction came in 2007, when he and five accomplices forced their way into a woman’s apartment during an armed robbery. He served five years in prison for that crime.

Floyd ultimately died in 2020 after ingesting fentanyl and methamphetamine—substances that kill over 70,000 Americans each year—and resisting arrest for nearly 25 minutes.

The Hennepin County medical examiner reported “fentanyl intoxication” and “recent methamphetamine use” as contributing factors in his death, which was ruled a heart attack.

The person Frey defended, Robin Westman, left behind a manifesto and online posts filled with hatred and violent intent. Authorities are investigating the attack as both a hate crime and an act of domestic terrorism after uncovering extensive anti-Catholic and anti-Christian material.

Westman’s writings and videos revealed a fascination with mass violence. He idolized past killers such as Adam Lanza, Anders Behring Breivik, Brenton Tarrant, and Dylann Roof, often referencing them in posts, videos, and even on his weapons.

The shooter’s arsenal was marked with names of notorious mass murderers responsible for massacres at Sandy Hook, the Tree of Life Synagogue, and Christchurch mosques. In one 20-minute video, Westman repeatedly declared, “I can’t wait to kill and kill and kill,” alongside the refrain, “I fall apart, I break and I die.”

His weapons carried messages that underscored his extremist ideology. Firearms bore slogans such as “Where’s your God now?” and “Kill Donald Trump.” Magazines carried antisemitic and Holocaust denial phrases including, “6 million wasn’t enough.”

A smoke grenade was inscribed with “Jew Gas,” alongside the declaration “Israel must fall” and “Free Palestine.” Other weapons carried phrases like “psycho killer” and “suck on this.”

The manifesto opened with the words, “I don’t expect forgiveness … I do apologize for the effects my actions will have on your lives.”

Later, he admitted, “I have wanted this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away… I am severely depressed and have been suicidal for years. Only recently have I lost all hope and decided to perform my final action against this world.”

The writings also revealed an obsession with killing children and a belief that school shootings were the “awful slaughter of innocents” he most admired.

Minneapolis Shooter’s Mother Not Speaking To Police

The mother of the man who killed two children at a Minneapolis church and school and left 18 other people wounded is not speaking to authorities, the city’s police chief said on Aug. 28.

“We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother yet at this time,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told a briefing.

The shooter, who killed himself after firing more than 100 rounds during Mass into Annunciation Church and School on Aug. 27, has been identified as Robin Westman, a male who identified as female.

Westman previously attended the school and has attended Mass there, officials said.

Mary Grace Westman, the mother, worked at the parish in the past, O’Hara said.

The church, in a 2021 Facebook post that it has since deleted, posted a picture of Mary Westman and said that it had honored her as she was retiring after working there for five years.

“She has provided such wonderful hospitality, friendship and compassion to all who gathered,” the post stated.

Ryan Garry, a defense attorney, said he has been retained by Mary Westman.

“She is completely distraught about the situation and has no culpability but is seeking an attorney to deal with calls like this,” Garry told Fox News.

Garry did not respond to a request for more information by publication time.

O’Hara said that law enforcement has conducted dozens of interviews with others, including relatives, friends, and associates of Robin Westman.

Authorities have also carried out search warrants at three residences in or near Minneapolis that are connected to the shooter. They’re not sure yet at which residence he was staying immediately prior to the shooting.

There is no sign yet of an event that triggered the shooting, they said.

Minneapolis Murder – When Will Investigators Reveal Mental Health and Drug History of Shooter?

How many times will the nation have to suffer through another senseless mass murder and listen to the same lame excuses for the attacker’s motives? Twenty-three-year-old Robert Westman, aka Robin, killed two kids and wounded many others at an early morning attack on Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis yesterday and already we are being overloaded with the same blather.

We’ve seen these attacks and heard the same old tired arguments against guns and the “trans” status of the shooter. What we don’t hear, what is never discussed, is the mental health history of the shooter and, of course, the psychiatric drugs that may have been prescribed that could account for the murderous behavior. Why?

That’s easy. The mainstream media isn’t going to raise the issue of mental health and prescription psychiatric drugs because that’s how the salaries of the talking heads are paid. One only needs to turn on any of the cable or mainstream media sources and it takes minutes before the pharmaceutical commercials begin. Let’s face it, how would Sean Hannity, for example, be paid his enormous salary without the millions in advertising paid to Fox News by the pharmaceutical industry?

But of course, it’s much more sinister. The nation is addicted to a failed mental health model of diagnose and drug. In fact, after every mass shooting, there are cries for the need of “more mental health funding!” What most people don’t understand is that the entire mental health model, that has been used for the last fifty years, is built on fraud. That’s right, fraud.

There is no science to any psychiatric diagnosis. There is no abnormality in the brain that is any alleged psychiatric disorder, and the alleged “chemical imbalance” was, thankfully, completely debunked in 2022 by Dr. Joanna Moncrieff as a myth that was never supported by scientific evidence.

Making the fraud of the psychiatric diagnosis worse is that the pharmaceutical industry jumped on board with psychiatric drugs sold as “treatment” for the alleged mental disorders. The problem with selling the antidepressants, stimulants, antipsychotics and anti-anxiety drugs as “treatment” is that the pharmaceutical companies admit that they have no idea how the drugs “work” as “treatment” for the alleged disorder. Will the drugs change behavior? Yes, but so will illegal drugs.  What people need to understand is that yes, they are depressed, suffering from anxiety and wiggling in their seat, but that doesn’t mean there is an abnormality. There isn’t an abnormality, and these drugs don’t treat one.

The drugs sold as “treatment,” however, come with an ever-expanding list of possible adverse events. First, for example, antidepressants that “treat” depression carry a black box warning (the most serious warning issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before a drug is pulled from the market) for suicidality. That’s right, the drug taken to “treat” depression can cause the patient to commit suicide. The drug also can cause depression, the very behavior the drug is prescribed to “treat.” You can’t make this up. But there are other possible dangerous, life-threatening adverse events associated with antidepressants, including aggressive reaction, aggression, agitation, anxiety, depersonalization, mania, paranoia, abnormal dreams/thinking, psychotic disorder and psychosis to name a few. And similar devastating possible side effects are attached to all the other categories of prescription psychiatric drugs, too.

The question that needs to be answered in the case of the Minneapolis shooter, and all the others, is what is the mental health history, what is the prescription drug history, and, in the case of “trans” shooters, one would want to know at what stage of the transition the shooter is in. The adverse effects of mixing psychiatric drugs and hormone drugs are still not fully understood and could contribute to the state of mind of the shooter.

Mother of Transgender Minneapolis Mass Shooter Robin Westman Appears to Have Fled and Is Not Cooperating with Police… and Retained a Criminal Defense Attorney

Mary Grace Westman, the mother of the transgender Minneapolis mass shooter and child killer Robin Westman appears to have fled and is not cooperating with police.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Wednesday, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that a male in his 20s opened fire on children as they attended mass at Annunciation Catholic School, killing at least two children and injuring 14 children and three adults. Police say the shooter was armed with three guns: a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun.

The shooter was later identified as 23-year-old transgender Robert “Robin” Westman. Westman is deceased.

According to court documents obtained by Fox News, Mary Grace Westman ‘transitioned’ her son and changed his name from Robert to Robin when he was 17.

Via Fox News: According to court docs, at 17-years-old Robert Westman formally had his legal name changed to Robin because docs state the “minor child identifies as female and wants her name to reflect the identification.” The application for a name change of a minor was filed by the mother and a court granted the request in 2020.

After Westman’s mother transitioned him, he wrote in a journal that he was tired of being trans.

“I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,” he wrote, according to a translation by The New York Post.

RFK Jr. investigating if drugs taken in Robin Westman’s transition played ‘a role’ in Minneapolis mass shooting

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed Thursday that he has ordered an investigation into whether drugs that transgender shooter Robin Westman was taking during his transition could have played “a role” in his depraved violence.

“We are doing those kind of studies now,” he told “Fox & Friends” when asked if it was possible drugs taken during Westman’s transition played “a role” in him shooting up his former Catholic school’s first Mass of the year Wednesday.

“We are launching studies into their potential contribution,” he said in a response to a question noting that another recent school shooter, Audrey Hale, was also transgender.

The Health and Human Services secretary did not reveal if it was known what drugs Westman or Hale had taken, if any.

However, he noted a wider concern about Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) used to treat depression.

“Some of the SSRI drugs and some other psychiatric drugs might be contributing to violence,” he warned.

“Many of them have black-box warnings that warn of suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation. So we can’t exclude those as a culprit, and those are the kind of studies we are doing,” he said.

Such studies had been slowed by strict patient confidentiality rules, he noted — while stressing that his department had authority to go around them to investigate possible links between such medications and mental diseases

“There was no time in the past when people would walk into a church or a classroom and start shooting people,” he said. “It’s not really happening in other countries, it’s happening here. And we need to look at all of the potential culprits that might be contributing to that.”

‘Demonic’ Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman walked around saying ‘praise Hitler’ as a child: ex-friend

Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman used to horrify classmates by walking around saying “praise Hitler,” according to a former friend who denounced him as “demonic.”

Josefina Sanchez said she is still tormented by how “erratic” and “off” Westman was when they were briefly friends in seventh grade at a school in St. Paul.

Even when that young, the soon-to-be trans killer showed signs of the hateful antisemitism that would later see him fantasizing about attacking “filthy Zionist jews.”

“He would put up his hand and say, like, ‘praise Hitler,’” Sanchez told local outlet KTSP, fighting back tears at the thought she could have raised the alarm and prevented Wednesday’s mass shooting.

“Something I knew was off, but I was a kid. How would I know, like, what to do in the seventh grade?” she asked. “When you see something erratic, it doesn’t leave your mind.”

Sanchez said that Westman was known to write in code so that nobody could understand his writing — similar to the mix of Cryllic seen in his twisted manifesto and troubled writings he shared on YouTube before the massacre.

Minneapolis shooter was ‘tired of being trans’ and had been ‘brainwashed’ into being female

Transgender mass shooter Robin Westman complained about being ‘tired of being trans’ and had been ‘brainwashed’ in a chilling manifesto before killing two children in a mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church. 

Court records seen by the Daily Mail reveal Westman, 23, was previously known as Robert, before changing name in 2020. 

According to court papers filed in Dakota County, Minnesota from the time, Westman wanted to the name Robin to reflect that ‘[identifying] as a woman’. 

But in a handwritten manifesto shared by the shooter in a YouTube video before opening fire, Westman appeared to question that decision. 

‘I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself,’ the killer wrote in a scrawled cryptic message. 

‘I can’t cut my hair now as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported. 

‘It just always gets in my way. I will probably chop it on the day of the attack.’ 

Westman also wrote about struggling with how to identify, adding: ‘I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it. I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man.’

Independent school leaders BEGGED Tim Walz for help securing their schools 2 years ago…

Independent and Catholic school leaders begged Governor Tim Walz for help securing their schools two years ago, but he never helped did it. Rather he was focused more on the transgender pretenders and their cause.

Fast forward to today when a trans-terrorist murders Catholic school children in horrific display of hatred.

Here’s more from Daily Wire:

Two years before a shooter opened fire on students attending daily mass in Minneapolis, the leaders of independent and Catholic schools in Minnesota begged Democrat Governor Tim Walz for help securing their schools, according to a 2023 letter reviewed by The Daily Wire. The funding was never authorized.

In a letter dated April 14, 2023 that specifically addressed “school safety in nonpublic schools,” Tim Benz, the president of MINNDEPENDENT and Jason Adkins, the executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, stressed an “urgent and critical need in Minnesota to make sure our schools are secure and safe” in light of “recent, and continuing attacks, on our schools in this country and in our state.”

The letter says there are about 72,000 students in Independent, Catholic, Jewish, Christian and Muslim nonpublic schools within the state of Minnesota. It came just weeks after the shooting at a Christian school in Tennessee, which was also carried about by a transgender-identifying individual in their twenties.

“The latest school shooting at a nonpublic Christian school in Tennessee sadly confirms what we already know – our schools are under attack,” Benz and Adkins wrote. “In Minnesota, nonpublic schools, particularly our Jewish and Muslim schools, have experienced increased levels of threats, all of which we must take very seriously.”

“The tragedy from last week at Covenant School must never happen in Minnesota or in our country again,” they wrote. “We need to ensure that all [our] schools have the resources to respond to and prevent these attacks from happening to our schools.”

Tim Walz Speaks at Press Conference Following Church Shooting by Transgender, Refuses to Mention Hate Crime Against Catholics or Shooter’s Trans Identity – Leftist Mayor Blames Guns and Hate Towards Transgenders!

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey spoke during a press conference on Wednesday, hours after the shooting at a Catholic church and K-8 school in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a transgender gunman opened fire, shooting through the windows of the church at Annunciation Catholic School as students attended mass during the first week of the school year. His manifesto was posted to YouTube before the shooting, and it was revealed that he wrote “kill Donald Trump” on one of his guns.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that the shooter, a male in his early 20s, opened fire on children as they attended mass at the school, killing at least two children and injuring 14 children and three adults. Police say he was armed with three guns: a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun.

O’Hara later confirmed that 14 children between the ages of six and 15 and three adult parishioners in their 80s were among the 17 injuries.

In one manifesto video uploaded to YouTube before the shooting, the now-deceased shooter shows guns with scribbled words, including “kill Donald Trump,” and a body target on his wall with an image of Jesus Christ on the head of the target.

The FBI has confirmed that it is investigating the shooting as domestic terrorism and a hate crime against Catholics.

In Tim Walz’s speech, he rightfully thanked President Trump for his attention to the matter, but it was not a particularly strong speech as the chief executive of the state. Notably, he failed to condemn the targeted violence against Catholics by one of his insane transgender constituents or mention the mental illness that the shooter suffered. He likely hopes that part of the story will go away.
