We hate chaos because it means lack of control and order. Conspiracy theories provide an overlay of order over otherwise chaotic events. We can deal better with a conspiracy because it is possible to prevent a reoccurrence. When it’s just some random demented guy we can become a victim at anytime. The liberals solve the problem in a different way. They believe gun control will protect them from chaos.
