Man On Twitter Deftly Trolls Gun Nuts

Today, after yet another school shooting, some gun nuts with access to Twitter barfed out one of their three or four defensive responses in these situations by channeling Charlton Heston and daring the vast expanse of the internet to take their guns away. One guy on Twitter found these people—some who had tweeted these sentiments before today—and told them that he was going to take their guns. It was so simple, yet so funny.

picture of a toy gun also?

So what do you think about the Google cut and paste of the day. As a host it would be polite to abide by the groups SOP as much as you enforce yours. But once again I will predict crickets like the other several hundred times you have ignored the SOP.

The peak of their accomplishment seems to be finding and posting anti gun and gun owner cartoons and posting in LBN and GD.

This doesn't even meet the SOP for this group and Kripos should lock it, IMO.

SM ignores the group SOP all the time but this one is very blatant and the story does not even meet the guidelines of the SOP.
