It is clear to me that progressives are politicizing the events to try to take guns away from the citizens. The one thing that makes this obvious to me is that they seemingly combine different types of events to muddy up the topic of gun violence and seem to focus on the guns like rifles.
For example, FBI data shows handguns are used to commit gun crimes. Second, most gun violence is in the inner cities.
In fact, I think something like only 300 of the several thousand murders that occur are done with rifles of ANY KIND. So why do the gun grabbers focus so much on so-called assault rifles when the data clearly shows these guns are hardly used at all in the commission of crimes?
So if the guns mostly used are handguns, the crimes committed are mostly in the city why focus your efforts on banning guns like AR-15s which are mostly being bought by good ole boys in middle America?
This makes no sense to me...

I love how most surviving family members become gun control advocates immediately following the incident. I also don't like how incidents involving 50 or less people can give birth to sweeping policy changes that affect almost 320 million people. One individuals race, religion, sexual bias or any other declarative motive does not represent the thoughts or opinions of an entire demographic specific to that motive.
I dont often see car pilups with many casualties, cause legislation to ban cars....
So why is it they do it with guns?
Some people drive drunk, and cause accidents , should we take peoples cars away?
And why is it when an officer kills a black man, they dont blame the gun? They blame the officer for being out of control racist with problems.....
But when a civilian kills people, they blame the gun......
the game is a foot and the agenda is clear, so is the blatant progressive hypocrisy
you can tell by what the president decides hes going to call a press conference on......
Didnt see him calling a press conference to stop the targeting and killing of police officers......NOPE
Didnt see him come out against guns THEN, because it didnt fit the narrative.........
I dont often see car pilups with many casualties, cause legislation to ban cars....
So why is it they do it with guns?

It seems just as manufactured as ISIS. Funny how when the government needs a problem so they can in-act their solution, one always seems to rise to occasion doesn't it? Curious and curiouser I say!

I think you are in denial and are putting your personal desire to own firearms above other peoples lives, and inventing a conspiracy theory to do so.

Do I know who really did 9/11? No. Do I know why it was done? The prima facie induction is that it gave the Bush Administration a blank check to do everything that came next: wars, Patriot Act, etc.
In the field of PSYOP such things are not analyzed or judged morally, just cause-and-effectly. Once of the consequences of being a PSYOP officer is that you wind up seeing the whole damn world this way, with all of the moral, patriotic, religious, etc. overlays (fetishes, sacred cows, taboos) as "just part of the show". It doesn't even make you cynical, because cynicism requires something to be outraged against. Instead you become numb. That's the real, the serious danger, because the thing that is divine in the human soul is the ability to apprehend, and to desire, and to affirm, the Good. If we lose this, we are nothing.
