The slew of AR-15 and like rifles used in these shootings make me suspect some kind of a campaign leading up to demand for a ban.

But maybe I’m paranoid, too.

Butler reportedly stole the rifle, so no amount of ‘gun control’ laws would have made a difference.

I think that more than 20 % of rifle purchases are AR platforms, so there’s that.

No, you’re probably not paranoid.

Even paranoids can have real enemies.

Social contagion is how these mass casualty shootings are organized and instigated. No direct contact with the shooter is required.

Till the fields, sow the seeds, wait for seasonal rains, and watch the crop come in. The individual stalks do not matter very much and are not predictable. But at the end of the summer, there is a harvest available.

Just because you're paranoid...doesn't mean they're not out to get ya.
