Club Q shooting...

[lee n. field]

I think more of the former since they they're been trying to tie the shooting in with the Mormons, I think the family is Mormon or semi Mormon or something, but I see no mention of a Mormon connection with FOTF in the wiki article on them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focus_on_the_Family

Nope.  Focus is evangelical Christian (of the American low church subspecies), (unless things have really changed, and I'd have heard about it).  James Dobson, the founder, split off from then a few years ago to do his own thing, because he wanted to get more political than FotF wanted to be.

The left pretty much lumps all Christian sects, divisions, etc.. into one big pile and calls it a pile of hate. So their initial focus on Mormons was bound to drag Christianity as a whole in.

And look what just popped up.

Huh: Virginia restaurant cancels a Christian ministry’s private party at the last minute as staffers felt unsafe

Bet this will be mostly ignored by the MSM. The other way around there would be 20 media vans parked put front.

Guns taken from him after the his previous bomb threat incident. Says they were never returned. 
BTW: What is a MM-15?

Also of note in the article

Furthermore, law enforcement officials seized two guns from Aldrich after the incident, including a 9 mm ghost gun with a Glock frame and a 5.56 mm AR-15 rifle. During a press conference held last week by the DA office, District Attorney Michael Allen said the guns were never returned and are still in police custody. He also stressed that the 2021 case had been dismissed after the prosecutor’s office failed to deliver the subpoenas to the witnesses, who recanted.

Sounds like someone dropped the ball.

Still have seen nothing about weapon(s) used in the shooting

We finally get a look at the gun

Video https://www.kktv.com/video/2023/02/24/watch-new-photos-released-judge-keeps-all-charges-originally-filed-against-suspected-club-q-shooter/
It was "founded" and was "home made" aka "Ghost gun"

Note the brace. Sure that will come up.
Ammo appears to be green tips in  the photos at the 2nd link,

Oh, and he was apparently hopped up on drugs.

During the first day of the preliminary hearing on Wednesday, Feb. 22, the defense confirmed the suspect had consumed, “six tabs of Xanax, three Adderall, four grams of cocaine and two grams of free-based cocaine.”

[WLJ]

Photos show mostly Magpul mags 30, 40, and a drum mag.
Appears to be at least one clear 30rd ETS 9mm mag and a Magpul Glock mag.

[WLJ]

And he was a regular at the club

The images above were entered by the suspect’s public defender. The exhibits show the suspect socializing at Club Q in the months prior to the shooting. Prescribed medication shown above were to treat disorders such as schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, anti-psychotic medication, depression, heroin addiction, mood stabilizers, and more.

What's the difference between cocaine and free-based cocaine?

What's the difference between cocaine and free-based cocaine?

Cocaine is what rich people snort.
Free-based cocaine is also known as crack cocaine, made by mixing cocaine with crack and heating it.  Crack is what poor people smoke.

Couldn't help but notice

80% lower ("homemade ghost gun") - They want to ban or have banned. I'm confused at this point.
Semi auto - They want to ban
Brace -  Have banned or restricted depending on how you view it.
Muzzle device  - They want to ban
Green Tip - They tried to ban and still want to.
"High" cap mags - Banned in CO in other states. They want to ban on fed level.

Anything I left out?

Basically a laundry list of what they want to ban.

He's got a Thump n Grind 3D printed 37mm launcher and body armor, both of which they'd like to ban.  I can only imagine the gnashing of teeth if he'd managed to make a homemade offensive round for a 3d Printed grenade launcher.

Is that a Ghillie suit?

Close up of the note pad.
I think him being a regular of the club and this leaves almost no doubt he was gay/non-binary himself.

[dogmush]

Or he wasn't gay, but had convinced himself he was, and the lifestyle wasn't sitting well.

Either way, homie was clearly troubled.

20 years ago I would have said hogwash but nowadays with it coming out that many teachers not to mention MSM actively pushing kids into that lifestyle could be.
