Archived link for the Wallstreet Journal article: https://archive.is/s3Fxd
This was a quote released by the Wallstreet Journal, who were given access directly from an internal Facebook memo from two accounts they deleted relating to the suspect:
"I hope that I can be with Applejack in the afterlife, my life has no meaning without her. If there's no afterlife and she isn't real then my life never mattered anyway."

Sweet.
Now we get to hear holier than thou fuckwits bitch about an ultimately non existent problem.

Chinese where right to ban MLP !!11! /sarcasm
Wow, just wow. I have no words.
>Sperg that goes on a murder spree has worst pony wifu.
Eeeyup, sounds about right.
time to go radio silent for a few weeks until the shitstorm dies down again
Radical Bronies... just what we need. I mean, I am a pretty hardcore Brony, but I don't want to hurt anyone. Just write comedy clop with humans and ponies love.
That said, every group has crazies. Let's just hope we don't get accused with the rest of them by the normies.
I was going to make a joke about AJ fans, but it might be in bad taste.
Just like this guy's taste in ponies.
People like that hurt the fandom.
people just have no clue of just how much this has just heart the fandom..
wee all the pony people / brony community just got labeled with this trash.
this is nucking futz.
Aw crap, this is going to be another case of misinterpretation people will be getting when it comes to this franchise.
I love Applejack as well and I've only shot a few people in my day.

Folks who love guns or money from gun lobbies will always look to blame anything else. Guess it's our turn in the barrel. (Pun intended.)
>Wakes up in hell
>Applejack tells him he's an awful person for killing people and bucks him offscreen
>After much more trauma he eventually turns into Blitzo
There's a greentext story in here somewhere...
Reminds me of that dude who shot up his coworkers in a grocery store because he thought he'd reincarnate as that ghost guitar chick from Danny Phantom.
5499573
Yes I'm joking. I haven't shot anyone.
(It's sad that I had to specify I was kidding.)
5499578
And here I thought the "Guy waking up as a hot chick" was only a subgenre of pron.
5499570
People: How dare you give this boy a gun.
Gun Fanatics: It's Indiana, he didn't need a background check, so don't blame us.
People: We don't care! We demand justice!
Gun Fanatics: Look, didn't he say that he wanted to meet a cartoon pony when he died? There's your culprit.
People: Under what evidence?
Gun Fanatics: She's southern. Southerners are more open on allowing the usage of guns, so she's the reason why he did it.
People: Hmm... we're not sure.
Gun Fanatics: You can also get away with having sex with horses in many southern states too.
People: APPLEJACK DID THIS!!!
That one guy: But wait, if southerners are more tolerant on possessing a gun, wouldn't that just lead back to the gun fana-
*BANG*
Gun Fanatics: ...now about that mare.

He ended up being pretty thoroughly memory-holed at this point by most people, but even though Danny Phantom was his biggest thing and he wanted to wake up afterwards as his teenager ghost girl OC, he was also interested in EQG. Not that it matters at all in the end. If you have enough people interested in something, then a few of them are bound to be terrible people and/or do terrible things regardless of the general tendencies of the group as a whole.

You need a background check in every state in the United States of America unless you're buying from an individual or you are building your own gun from scratch, to be clear. That is federal law that is enforced in every state. But the restrictions on individual sales & transfers do vary state to state. Even then it is at the very least still universally illegal to knowingly give to someone who is prohibited.
https://www.findlaw.com/consumer/consumer-transactions/private-gun-sale-laws-by-state.html
Also, apparently in Indiana it is prohibited to transfer an "assault weapon" to a minor, but there is also apparently no specific or general legal definition for "assault weapon" same as pretty much anywhere. That's always fun.
Not really even going to bother arguing about it past that since I know that probably nobody here is interested in any sort of gun debate because "guns are bad" or something silly.
Well... shit.
5499570
Have you tried blaming the shooter?
5499586
Well then somebody needs to update Wiki.
According to an auctioneer I met at a show less than a year ago, in Wisconsin, you just need to show them your license (no background check). In fact, you don't need a background check at gun shows in quite a few states, including Indiana.
5499595
What is it that you think a gun show is?
Dude looked like a shooter.

And that has nothing to do with his skin color. I'm talking about a certain "look" people have. Like how some guys "look like child molesters." Or how some girls have them "crazy eyes."
I call this the "Face Test" and it works like 90% of the time haha. And yeah, there are waaay too many bronies who fail my Face Test haha.
Everyone needs to stop calling this person a Brony.
He lost that privilege when he chose the path of evil.
#BrandonHoleIsNotABrony
5499598
And so the title of Phony came to be.
5499598
Haha agreed.
Shooting up innocent people means you're no longer a "bro."
Quite the high standard, I know.

Your auctioneer was in Wisconsin, if I understood you correctly. You posted a wiki article on Indiana gun laws. Do you know what type of transfer your auctioneer was talking about? Was it a private sale?
If you are buying a firearm from a Federal Firearm License Dealer, you are going to fill out a background check, regardless if you at a gun show or gun shop. Nobody wants to get party vanned by the ATF.

I missed the context of the Shakey’s post.
That’s my bad
This is why hardcore people in this fandom do now. Radical bullshit ideas of thinking your best wafiu pony gets too much thinking life is meaningless ,which isn’t right there’s always a way in life because he wasn’t mentally stable to be in a place not even stable to try understand he’s desperate for something in life.
This why I say don’t ship ourselves with a fictional character I don’t attach with them unless there’s a reason for it.
Normies don’t care who’s in there way they only want juicy stories to eat with to gossip about us when information on this is just as vague and not fully reported on. A few times people try saying the truth but I’m skeptical about this situation.

It's like any card show or antique show, it's a location that sells guns and gun accessories from a wide selection of stands. Granted, it is an individual you're buying from each stand, but stands can't simply be placed on the spot as you would need to rent that location out. You're basically making a portable store, one that I believe would still have to follow a guideline just like with any stationary store that's licensed would.
The 'individual' part is what I'd assume would be a friend or associate that is familiar with the one acquiring the gun, otherwise every gun store out there would be considered as individuals themselves.
I'm not a professional of reincarnation or death it self
But buddy here ain't going to be with applejack he is going to pony hell for what has bin done
As for the gun thing he is mentally unstable and was not taken care of properly but don't we all wanna see our pony waifu's or live in the fantasy world ? Sometimes we all wish that but one can hope but I won't justify his actions tho and I'm sorry that the shooter caused such harm but guns are not the problem it's the one who holds the gun and pulls the trigger just remember guns cant walk talk or nor have hands
That's all

No. He is not.
He might call himself one. And I could call myself the Pharaoh of Egypt. But just saying it does not make it so.
This is conduct that is unambiguously unbecoming of a Brony, and he is hereby excommunicated from the fandom.
Individuals are fucked up. Sometimes in thought or through art. But as I have reiterated many times, there is a wide wide gulf between the realm of fiction and thought, and the reality of actions. And when those individuals cross that gulf, they forfeit their claim to the fandom they betrayed.
Hold the induvial accountable for their actions, separate from whatever fandom they may claim.
This isn't a fandom issue. This is an individual who chose to mass-murder.
I won't stand for sweeping, generalized statements made about the entire fandom on their behalf. This fandom deserves better.
But of course, if that is how you really feel about the fandom...

Bull. It's like saying, 'people playing brutal games must be psychos!' because a few crazy players decided to go on a killing spree
. You could try to make such an argument IF such occurrences were common in the fandom, but thankfully they're not.
The guy who did it could have been a Brony, but first and foremost, he was someone needing psychiatric care; the rest is irrelevant.
What makes you say that
? Anyway... I'm 'me' - my views are all over the place and depend on the concrete subject at hand, to give an example:
Not sure what that has to do with the discussion, though...
5499655
I just don't know how making a joke about the absurdity of the sensationalist media is an indication of political leaning.
The same joke could have been made about Fox news lambasting a snowflake, and it would have been equally satirical.
But it would likewise not be any more indicative of Huk being a liberal.
I was simply pointing out the reach of your assumption with that gif.
[Edit] Well, Huk already said it for themselves,
5499595
That depends on whether or not they're selling as and individual or as an FFL, fren. An individual's rights to sell do not change if they happen to be at a gun show unless state law dictates otherwise. By the same rite you can go to a gunstore and transfer a firearm to someone without a background check so long as there is no state mandate for background checks on individual sales and transfers.
That does NOT mean that FFL's do not need to preform background checks. The only time they do not have to preform such a check is when someone has an appropriate and up to date license or permit in the state that they are making the purchase/transfer in, and that is only because those licenses or permits reflect that the individual has had their background checked rigorously as part of the process and that it is periodically checked during the term of the license. That said, even that is on a state by state basis and there are many states that require a separate background check for each set of purchases or transfers regardless of your license or permit status.
Also, I referenced a site that is regularly updated and has the legal standards of each state listed as they are written. I would put more credit towards that then Wikipedia in this particular case; however, even in this case the information on the Wikipedia article in question does not seem to contradict anything that I have thusfar stated. If you see something I don't, then you'll have to point it out directly for me.
5499613
Not at all, the individual part means individual. That is to say that you as a person are selling something that you personally own to another person.
I should also point out that the majority of the sellers you'll find at any sort of gun show will be representatives of an FFL if they are not the owner/operator if a registered FFL themselves and will require you to fill out a NICS background check if you wish to purchase a gun from them regardless of any sort of state status on individual sale in or outside of a gun show.
If you think I'm wrong, I fully encourage you to head out to one in your area and attempt to purchase one yourself to better familiarize yourself with the process.
I should probably put it out there that I'm still technically an FFL employee even though I don't work with sales very often these days. Though I personally wouldn't consider myself as a gun nut. It's a job and a very passive interest for me.

Thanks for the blog post, btw. I'm flattered.

This will be a little off-topic here, but... remember how a few weeks back, you made a post in the ADP group, complaining that no matter what you say, people get frustrated with you? Well, here you have a perfect example of why.
And then you give such a response:
Tell me, how is an ordinary person supposed to interpret that behavior in a positive light and not get frustrated
? Because right now, the only logical explanation that comes to my mind is:
Maybe that wasn't your goal, but that's the perception you leave behind here is a confusing mess. It's not your political views that are the problem; it's HOW you talk to people. If you made a genuine mistake, just say:
plus edit the question, and everything would be cool. And if there was no mistake, it would be nice to explain why you asked that question in the first place. Otherwise, people WILL get frustrated and won't want to talk with you, and you'll end up making posts about it in the ADP group again...
5499644
Slightly off-topic, but you gotta love how bronies went from being hated by conservatives for not being "manly" enough... to now being labeled as right-wingers. For some reason...
5499723
Of shit, you're right
! We're target on both sides now, feels... surprisingly good 
!
5499738
Welcome to my world. I've had both righties and lefties pissed at me since I was a teen haha.
Plot twist:
The shooter did this because he was mad at AJ being called a background pony
Im gonna say this, its a persons choice to be this evil. Not the fandoms choice at all. The fandom wouldn't know a person is this terrible until it came to see what they did,
Its like stereotyping every race and gender out there, its maddening. But then again, people have a serious tendency to box everyone and then ignore the facts.
Its why the minority get to cause so much trouble, because everyone believes what the screaming minority states and doesn't try to look at the facts and dig a little deeper.
Now people can have yer own opinion, yer own out look on things. But the moment you begin to throw out that your opinion is fact that's when issues arise ESPECIALLY when you begin to literally give others who don't agree with you the finger. And say things like:
"Well yer apart of that group so your view points dont matter!"
"Oh yer one of THEM!"
We are supposed to be adults here, not 5th graders throwing fits.
What this person did was horrible, is it the fandoms fault? FUCK NO.
It was their decision and their decision alone to do this, and if they start stating applejack made them do it.... then they got some serious issues up in their brain and need help. Anyone who tries something like this has serious issues and they will always have serious issues.
But thats just my thoughts, i know alot are gonna be all "How dare you?!" and all that what not because im not taking anyone side here and im just spewing facts.
Wholesome 100.

"Sir! We're surrounded by the enemy!"
"Good! That means we can attack in any direction."
Aw goddammit. Well I’m hoping this won’t lead to bandwagon hate coming our way, it’s the last thing we need. Only the truly idiotic and ill-informed would even see this as a way to judge the fandom, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s headlines saying as such.
This individual was sick and a vile monster to commit the acts he did, and anyone capable of doing similar acts will never be a part of this wonderful community.
