Conspiracies

Referencing my last post: I used to laugh at people who believed in conspiracy theories with regards to the government staging or encouraging mass shootings in order to enact more gun control. I was even willing to believe incompetence was the cause of "Fast and Furious." However, start looking at the incompetence involved: 

1. We know that the Feds were deliberately supplying criminals with guns

2. It seems that shootings always seem to happen at the most convenient (for Democrats) times. 

How many times can this be a coincidence? Or is this entire thing caused by the press hyping shootings that fit the narrative, and ignoring ones that don't? 

They may not be staged, but there are enough odd coincidences that I don't laugh anymore.
