A rogue faction, if that makes you feel better about it.
I've probably watched entirely too much 24, but consider this:
Who benefits? Where does the money lead?
Seems to me that an awful lot of arms manufacturers could capitalize on a tragedy like this.
Wouldn't even be the first time; German arms manufacturers and the Reichstag come to mind.
And who's the public mouthpiece for these armorers, again?
I'd be very wary of any announcements in the coming days.
EDIT: I'm sure I'll draw the ire of some of the pro-gun crowd here, and I'm okay with that.
I don't mean to disrespect our servicemen and women and their families.
Neither do I intend to in any way denigrate their service to preserving our way of life.
What I do mean to do, is to call out the possibility of a wolf among the sheep - a fox in the henhouse, if that works better for you. It's thoroughly disturbing to me that there's even a slim possibility that the very people who cry "foul" loudest whenever they perceive any sort of threat to the Second Amendment, may be the same people who artificially create a continued need for it. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.
And to those who argue that I have no proof for this "wild conspiracy theory" - that all I have is conjecture and insinuations - that's true, but I ask you this: how well does any of us know his fellow man? It may not be a bad idea to be at least a little suspicious of an organization that predicts Armageddon at the hands of a single-page PFEC.

Owning a few weapons myself, i dont see any flaw in your logic. It COULD have been some nut job thinking he was doing right by the 2nd amendment or some such thing.... buts let not hope a person is THAT mentaly far gone. But for the moment it will take precedence over gun controll for the next few days to week. Lets just sit back and see what the FBI find on these A-holes and make sure this is harder to do do in the future.... as there will always be SOME way to do something like this again unfortunatly.
