yes the government is behind the shootings. this helps justify government control over the people. rage, disparate people, gossip and trauma add up to people doing violent acts. the governments little helpers are the media. airways belong to the public. and should be controlled. you can not yell fire in a crowded theater, but the media freaks can scream lies and untrue gossip over the public airways. stop the filthy gossip mongering press, and gun violence will decline. it is not the gun that kills people. it is the filthy mouths of the media that is killing people.
