Honestly, it feels less like that was him trying to be political and more him trying to pick something universally feared that could still be "banned" by the world as a terrified preventative measure. Like, you can't ban Darkness, or Sharks, or Knives even.
I understand that, it's just the details as to why it built up (media sensationalism, increasing violence) felt like it was a little political. Maybe I was reading into it too much.
I get what you are saying. I just think it was more just coincidental, and us being Americans where such narratives are common, then intentional.
