I think that my use fits the definition of irony..
but I would answer Yes! if I was forced to answer the question, Would the persons you (meaning me) listed above arrange for an individual to kill his mother, twenty children, eight adults and then himself?
If it benefited their cause? Absolutely and get other individuals to get the other 59,999,971 Americans.
If you genuinely believe that the US government concocted and acted out a plan to find a disturbed twenty year old (whose mother conveniently owned weapons legally) and then somehow convinved him to murder his mother, take her guns to kill twenty children and eight adults and then kill himself...if you genuinely believe that then all I can do is mark you down as an idiot and wish you well.
