This might be the least-informed gun tweet ever posted

We do our best not to pick on Twitter “randos” and stick to the politicians and blue-check comedy writers no one’s heard of, but there are those tweets that either go viral or are so jaw-droppingly wrong we can’t help but write about them. Our story starts with a post by Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

The number of hunting licenses sold in the United States last year was greater than the ten biggest armies in the world combined.

Politicians considering gun confiscation (aka mandatory buybacks) should chew on that.

But when you hunt you use those rifles that are made of wood that are less scary-looking than assault weapons with their grenade launchers and chainsaw bayonets.

You can hunt without AR-15s, mon chère. https://t.co/sb8m6eZCa2

Even better … you can hunt with an AR-15, which is perfectly legal to own and use. It’s up to you … and still will be in 2021.

OK, here’s where we get to the tweet where we feel like we should black out the name and set up an immediate intervention by Stephen Gutowski.

At least a judge has ruled that all democrats can now use the HandiCap parking slots.

“Chainsaws are effective only in close-order combat.”

Last time I used a chainsaw to remove an attacker from my house, I found that after a few swings my arms started to get tired.

I believe that’s why god created the Benelli M4.

@texlynnf0rever is a sockpuppet account. Started in June 2019 just before the debate and is 24/7 pimping Beto. I’m not on Twitter so i can’t do any DD but I’m pretty sure it’s a sockmonkey. Claims to be “former GOP” just before starting a non-stop BetoFantasy .

Preaching to the choir mode:

The Second Amendment has NOTHING to do with hunting animals.

Semper Fi Marine. I’ve never served in the military. Something I regret. However those men who I’ve known who have and have survived combat have told me the human body is a strange thing. I’ve had men tell me you can put one round in a guy and down he goes. And then they’ve told me you can put four or five rounds in a guy and he still keeps coming at you. They did all say however the a .50 caliber round knocks anyone and everyone down right away.
