Shocked to find out there are Sandy Hook Deniers

There are actually people who profess that Sandy Hook massacre did not happen, that Adam Lanza never existed and it is some crazy conspiracy by the government to pass gun banns.

This world is fucked up.

assholes? Well, ok, I guess we do need a way to differentiate them from regular assholes.

There is no lie that won't be believed, there is no spin too ridiculous, there is no act too brutal, there is no amount of massacred children, there is no evil perpetrated, there is no cost to society as a whole, either in ruined lives or ended ones, that will EVER pierce the lunacy that is the gun CULTure. These crazies have no interest in "reasonable compromise," at all.

Their guns ARE their God. They worship at the Altar of Death.

clearly factual if it does not fit their personal views...

The world has a fair amount of "woo" in it, including

- Anti Vaxers
- 9/11 conspiracy theorists
- Quacks

All events are actually what the official say they are, but the shadow government spreads conspiracy theories lies to, I don't know, New World Order, Black Helicopters, some shit....

For now on when I am confronted by Conspiracy Theory woo this is how I will respond. When I am opposed by the real conspiracy theorist, I will respond by saying they are part of this grand conspiracy-conspiracy!

run-of-the-mill conspiracy theories. If you have not done so already, may I suggest that you check out abovetopsecret.com. That way you can delve into the world of conspriacy theorists and, hopefully, come up with some new ones. Good luck.

...about this professor, but I'd bet he is also a right-wing whack job with strange views on heliocentrism and Jewish people. He sounds like Jesse Ventura.

The shooter was some Obama-controlled manchurian candidate or something just to turn public sentiment against the NRA...

And the batshit insanity has only snowballed with each mass shooting since then...
