[oqjvtrch] Gun control Batman Gambit

The politically most effective way to increase gun control is not to go commit a mass shooting.  Instead, it is to engineer society so that mass shootings just happen, committed by people without any political goal of increasing gun control.

Such societal engineering seems sinister: keep your hands clean, let others do the dirty work of committing mass shootings (and getting punished for them), and let others do the dying in mass shootings.  Only a powerful organization would seem able to perform such engineering, and it needs to be a covert one to do it without people noticing the puppeteer.  A powerful covert organization with a political agenda of decreasing the amount of weapons people can own seems extremely sinister.
