Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
There\u2019s always a lunatic fringe, people who refuse to believe the official story.\u00a0 The CIA killed JFK.\u00a0 The moon landing was faked.\u00a0 Fire can\u2019t melt steel.\u00a0 Obama was born in Kenya.<\/p>\n
Now there\u2019s a fringe who suspect the existence of a small, fanatically dedicated team \u2013 possibly mercenaries \u2013 that President Obama calls upon when he needs to whip up support for gun control measures he can\u2019t get passed by calm logic (and also to distract voters from his foreign policy and economic disasters). \u00a0The very notion would be ludicrous . . . except that it looks as if this administration has been caught red-handed doing it before.<\/p>\n
Candidate Obama campaigned in 2008 on banning assault rifles but there weren\u2019t enough crimes committed with assault rifles to convince the public. The administration intentionally let a bunch of assault rifles walk across the border into Mexico during Fast and Furious, eventually finding their way back to the US to kill a border patrol agent and who knows how many others? \u00a0The plot was discovered and the outrage fizzled but the suspicion remains that this President was willing to give assault rifles to narco-terrorists to pump up the body count so he could panic the public into banning guns.<\/p>\n
President Obama ran for reelection in 2012 again on his standard campaign to ban assault rifles.\u00a0 December 12, Adam Lanza shoots up Sandy Hook school in Newtown using assault rifles but the initial reports are contradictory and the photos are sealed, which creates suspicion Team Obama has done it again. \u00a0\u00a0Public outcry and lots of energy to ban guns except by 2013 there were more Republicans in Congress and the ban couldn\u2019t pass.<\/p>\n
2017 is Obama\u2019s last year in office, his last chance to get guns banned.\u00a0 Also, Paris makes a mockery of his foreign policy.\u00a0 He needs outrage and distraction.\u00a0 Viola!\u00a0 A shooting in California whips Democrats into a frenzy for gun control, the suspects conveniently dead.\u00a0 More frenzy, more demands . . . but questions about the Third Shooter remain and thus suspicion lingers.<\/a> \u00a0When will the next attack come?\u00a0 And who will benefit?<\/p>\n
