I believe their M.O. is to sow the seeds of polarizing, bitter and acrimonious strife as much as possible. I'd guess that they'd start off taking the strongest anti-gun stance, and then would wade in and contribute some of the most outlandish gun-nut contributions, as well. | |

| Mar 1, 2018 at 14:34 | comment | added | Jack Of All Trades 234 | @user568458 The irony here, is that it's just as easy that the people screeching 'It was Russia!' at literally every single event for the past year didn't see the opportunity in some twitter trolls stirring the pot. There are a lot of people exploiting the school shooting for their agenda, I'm more than a little skeptical that anyone other than Russia would be able to answer this question though. | |

| Feb 28, 2018 at 10:15 | comment | added | T. Sar | I'm pretty sure you don't need "secret Russian Twitter trolls" to "sow chaos" among people over topics like these. Gun control is already pretty polemic as it is - thinking that people even need motivation to create heated arguments over it is a bit of a stretch. Nevertheless, the article doesn't give a single example tweet, so I'm staying skeptical. | |
| Feb 28, 2018 at 2:10 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | For those wondering, I had a read through of the article. It doesn't state whether the trolls were pro gun control, anti gun control, or, possibly more worryingly, both. | |
