I think there should probably a a rule adjacent to #34: if it exists, there’s a conspiracy theory about it.

In this case, I would imagine it’s: school shooting happens. Politicians use it to push for gun control. Therefore politicians made it happen, so they could use it.

Both sides of the political aisle do this, and plenty of people do it about less political things as well. It’s honestly my least favorite part of the public discourse right now.
