The general idea is that mass shootings are conducted by the government so that they have an excuse to pass gun control laws which will force people to give up their guns.

The smaller details (such as why a particular person was chosen to be framed, how the framing was conducted, or what the government will do once its citizens are unarmed) will vary depending on which conspiracy theorist you ask.

I think when you put this in the context of how government can’t agree how to put signs on toilets, it will become clear that government isn’t organized enough to do anything about.

One House Rep recently said that the USA should be dissolved into two countries based on the last election’s results, and there was very little criticism from other members of the party.

The conspiracy theorists give the government far too much credit.

There are no people behind the throne.

There are certainly people above the throne, and beyond the reach of the throne. But that’s it.

The government cannot manage to keep to a budget, prevent secrets from being leaked, craft sensible laws, collect the taxes owed to it, enforce its own regulations to prevent train derailment disasters, or do a multitude of any other things without seriously cocking it all up most of the time. I refuse to believe they are capable of organizing false flag shootings to further a legislative agenda.

It's more likely they merely politicize and highlight ones that occur for the same purposes.
