Why not mention the NSA event which is the real other event that might have had national headlines without this one?

I find the gun control angle uncompelling, it is more likely to me part of a strategy of tension designed to keep a civilian population in a state of war and/or otherwise ease the manipulation of a population:

What goes around comes around, the US has done this to other countries for at least a hundred years, now we try it on for size.
btw who funds/operates activist post? who started it? why do you use so much tracking on your website?
Voluntary ads fund activistpost. Founded by peace, liberty, and truth activists. Some tracking is used, for instance, to determine who's already on our email list so we don't hit them with newsletter popups etc. It's always a delicate balance to try to make enough money to fund the operation. Getting harder everyday since we've been blacklisted by all major ad networks and Facebook, and our YouTube channel terminated, etc, etc. We're grateful for Steemit.
See, I just don't know if the actual founding of an organization is so shrouded.
The entire strategy of opposing the corporate state, the entire point of activism at this point from just about every angle, depends upon them not being able to predict our every move and thought.
Any org then who likes to use facebork and is not divorcing from it like the vampire spy octopus it is, simply cannot earn my trust.
How can the tradeoff between tracking on the website be anywhere near what is gained by protection from email list duplicates? The tradeoff just doesn't add up. Besides no one gets news from email, it is just spam at this point.
Further, one of your writer, Derrick Broze, is obviously a cop/infiltrator. I have investigated the conscious resistance and it is not what it claims to be. He is not an investigator as he only resposts and he is not an anarchist, as when asked about his work he was a jerk about it and said I should not be 'entitled' to answers, also he said 'no one cares what I think.'
This is in the block chain. I guess I should say at this point I am investigating you as well, and I am already 95% certain due to your associations with fb, broze and the shaggy dog origin story of your site, plus the meaninguless name.
Do you have anything else you would like to add to the blockchain to refute this accusation? (btw making it personal about me is going to fit the clear pattern of all other obvious disinfo accounts I have encountered. ignoring completely would be #2, evading the question(like you did about the NSA question at the beginning) is #3.
I'm trying to be as polite as I can but investigative reporting has to be oppositional, which is another thing disinfo agents seem to be unaware of.
Thank you for your consideration, I am resisting the post-truth world and this is what that means for me. Which I of course write about in my blog if you're interested.
What the actual fuck do you mean associations with Facebook? We are BLACKLISTED on Facebook. We still use FB given we have 500K+ people but I am working on helping create onG.Social a new social media platform where users can get paid for their content similar to Steemit except FB style.
" I am investigating you as well, and I am already 95% certain due to your associations with fb, broze and the shaggy dog origin story of your site, plus the meaninguless name."
Further, I mentioned the NSA shooting on Twitter so try again. Your accusation is baseless. Oh and if you call me a disinformation agent for attacking you for your lack of knowledge of Activist Post, let me know when you have as many accomplishments as I do and you are hacked and have all your articles deleted for knowing too much information.
Finally, Derrick Broze, although I don't know him well, has more accomplishments then you do. Learn respect or you get completely shunned from the alternative media community. But hey you are already bashing tons of people in the alt media you must be incredibly stupid to burn so many bridges with people you don't even know or care to get to know.
All these people you mention who i know in one way or another have more accomplishments then you do. Seeing as you are bashing all my friends I have flagged your last few posts enjoy your time at Steemit its going to be a harsh one until you realize people control your pay so don't cause unneeded trouble. I don't want to have to do this again, but the accusations you are throwing around just made me mad because you don't know the people you are talking about.
I understand that everyone has opinions and you are free to yours however, calling everyone I know disinformation agents many who are struggling just to get by is not okay.
EDIT:
Because I just saw you looked into my other articles I unflagged the comment above and upvoted it as well as unflagged the other articles I did out of spite of anger. But I flagged your article on all my friends.
Please take some time to actually get to know people rather than calling them "disinformation agents."
In general alternative media is suffering from an ad blockade and censorship by Twitter and Facebook don't make it harder on independent journalists.
