17 very satisfying takedowns of the NRA (and other assorted gun nuts)
Another week, another mass shooting in the US after 12 people were killed after a gunman opened fire in a crowded bar in Southern California last week.
Here was the National Rifle Association’s typically empathetic response.

And it was precisely that sort of thing which makes these assorted takedowns of the NRA (and other assorted gun nuts) even more satisfying.
Here are our 17 favourites.

Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. https://t.co/oCR3uiLtS7

I agree, doctors have NO place talking about health. Any NRA exec who thinks they might have cancer should just see a lobbyist for treatment. https://t.co/Kwq1JK0cOP

Where are the marches and protests for bomb control in Austin?
— Chad Prather (@WatchChad) March 20, 2018
We HAVE bomb control, you idiot. You can't buy them in stores, manufacturers have strict liability, and building them is incredibly hard.
That's why this skilled serial bomber could only kill 3 people in 2 weeks, but a teenager could kill 17 people in minutes with an AR-15. https://t.co/D6fLyMaR5y

Hey Lefties, “AR” does NOT stand for “assault rifle.” It stands for “ArmaLite rifle.” You want to take our guns but you don’t know jack about guns. See the problem?

Ohhhh it was ArmaLite! Can someone tel the dead kids they don’t have to be dead anymore? Whew Tammy! Thanks for clearing that up! You’re a modern MLK

Can you imagine that? Registering trucks? Requiring insurance for injury they caused? Licensing and testing drivers? https://t.co/sBNDjK22Y9

It’s time to arm our teachers!

Our teachers aren’t even given enough funding for pencils, who’s going to buy them guns?! https://t.co/yVIyiHNoV0

….If a potential “sicko shooter” knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school. Cowards won’t go there…problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won’t work!

What happens when the police come in and have no idea who the shooter is because everybody and their mother is armed to the teeth? #NeverAgain #MarchForOurLives https://t.co/bU0ssTt9Ef
