EXCLUSIVE: Motive for massacre: Louisville bank shooter Connor Sturgeon wrote chilling 13-page manifesto laying out his THREE reasons for killing spree: To prove how easy it is to buy a gun, highlight America's mental health crisis...and kill himself

* Connor Sturgeon got his suicide wish as stated in his 13-page manifesto when he was shot dead by cops as he opened fire at a bank in Louisville on April 10
* According to the missive, Sturgeon, whose family revealed was on medication, wanted to highlight the country's mental health crisis
* The 25-year-old graduate also wanted to shine a spotlight on how he was able to buy an AR-15 in a state with lax gun laws, just four days before the massacre

Louisville bank shooter Connor Sturgeon wrote a chilling manifesto before slaughtering five senior executives at the branch where he worked, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The 13-page missive describes his goals before the horror at the downtown Old National Bank, where the 25-year-old livestreamed the massacre on Instagram as he gunned down co-workers at their morning conference.

Sturgeon 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.

----------

All he did was prove he had mental problems and that he was fine with lying on a federal form when he purchased the firearm(s). The shooting was purely political and he's a coward for not having the courage to face the music afterwards. What a looser.

And I firmly believe this manifesto was released so quickly because it supports the position of certain people in government.

In the mean time, where's Audrey Hale's manifesto? What's in it they don't want the public to see?

Why should it not be easy to buy a gun? It's a constitutional right.

Why choose his own place of employment too if he didn't have beef? I guess it is a silly question for someone with mental health issues.

And yeah,..I am kinda more interested in the Nashville shooter's manifesto. What's taking so long?

Thank you, Democrats...This one is on you.

Your constant rhetoric and fear-mongering about guns turned a person who apparently was already mentally unstable into thinking he would be some self-proclaimed martyr for the anti-gun movement.

And of course, we know why it was released, the Progressives will fall right in line with their standard talking points. And all it cost was 5 lives.

Show me where it says it should be easy? If I make you wait 3 years to buy a firearm, you still get to have a firearm.

If you make me wait 3 years to buy a firearm, you're a fascist.

Unfortunately it's always going to be a simple matter for insane people to use the freedoms of normal society to fulfill their desires to kill people.

All a crazy person needs to do is get hold of a knife or any pointy thingy and walk among the free people of society. Then simply pick out some poor unassuming innocent victims, and kill them.

The only way to combat this is to go full governmental tyranny. We force every person to undergo an annual sanity examination. Anyone who fails the test and is considered borderline psycho, gets locked up. There, all fixed.

All they need is a car and a busy intersection.

Heck, look at poor Shinzo Abe. He was assassinated with a firearm in a country that basically has a total prohibition on them!

I read somewhere else that he lied on the 4473, but after checking again, there is no real proof. If he had never been committed, then he didn't lie.

21-h: Have you ever been adjudicated as a mental defective OR have you ever been committed to a mental institution?

If the above statement is false, then he didn't lie.

This shooting was purely political. He said so himself.

California makes people wait 10 days, even if you already have 30 guns. They call it a cooling off period.
