Open the specific tweet with the gif in twitter. There will be an icon at the bottom of the tweet that looks like a tray with an arrow pointing. Click on that, and you'll find a copy link menu item.
Then go here: http://twittervideodownloader.com/download

Edited to add: the videos to download are .mp4 versions, not gifs. They play just fine.
