you think the shooter's intentions were to advocate for stricter gun laws?

His plan can loosely be described as "shoot people in NZ --> NZ gun control --> US gun control --> 1776 Pt2 Electric Boogaloo --> White supremacist victory --> Europe follows suit."

Boogaloo in the US seems iffy because any gun control measures strong enough to touch it off would probably be a non-starter because if there's a civil war brewing (let alone a racially charged one) the people that make up the base of the party that usually pushes gun control would very much want to be armed. Boogaloo resulting in some sort of white supremacist victory is laughable. Europe copying either is just fantasy.

The fact that the NZ politicians are doing exactly what a terrorist asked for is what annoys me most here.

Pretty much the TLDR of this guy's manifesto.
