There seems to be a growing tide of conspiracy theories cropping up around the recent epidemic of mass shootings in the US.
Most are being propagated by anti-government, right-wing, libertarian types.
They point out a lot of confusing and conflicting evidence that has cropped up in many cases. For example the fact that shooters sometime seemed drugged and/or hypnotized during and after the event, the presence of weapons/ammo/equipment nearby but not in the alleged shooter's possession, conflicting eyewitness accounts of two or more shooters at events supposedly perpetrated by lone gunman, etc.
The implicit (and sometimes explicit) point being that these shooters are drones and/or patsies being controlled by someone else (most likely the US government).
The general narrative is that it is being done by Obama to create public support for very strict gun control. Then once the citizenry is disarmed and defenseless, he will unleash his evil Marxist/socialist/Islamist/UN-sponsored plan to make us all eat tofu and be homosexual.
I didn't want to go to far down the rabbit hole of these theories and post lots of links. I just noticed that no one had posted on this yet, so I thought I'd bring it up for discussion.
