There is much to lose, because they are likely to be found out. Let's say for the sake of argument that Adam Lanza was groomed via the internet to shoot up a school. How would we find that out?

We already found that out. He studied the other school shootings and was obsessed with them. It is called the copycat effect, and is well known.
He was a creature of the Establishment media, who want more shootings. They do not need a shadowy top-down mind control.
They do it out in the open with their choices about what to publish and push.
But it is a blunt and imprecise tool. What you are suggesting takes considerable precision.

....congressional leadership on the Republican side [who] are extremely divisive. Being divisive does not give someone license to grab a gun and start shooting. Many on the right see many on the left as being divisive.
