Tweet Roundup: NRA Reactions

We learned a lot from today's NRA press conference. Chiefly, that Mortal Kombat and Natural Born Killers are responsible for gun violence (better re-think that next I Love the 90s! episode, VH1). We also learned that we need more people with guns in our schools. Looks like these NRA leaders really have their finger on the pulse of the nation, which is good. At least they'll know how to check vitals the next time someone gets shot.

And what did Twitter have to say about all this?

We can all agree there should be a national database of guys with pet snakes.

Oh good, the armed school guards will be unpaid volunteers. Because what we need are people into hanging around schools with guns for free.

WHAT IF THE GUY WHO WAS SHOT IN THE FACE BY DICK CHENEY HAD BEEN ARMED!?

What we need to do is shoot all the remaining copies of Mortal Kombat.

Pretty sure Gov. Schwarzenegger already proposed kindergarten cop legislation in 1990, didn't really work.

The NRA has said nothing about being interested in keeping bullets. #Loophole #WeGotEm #MiracleOn34thStreet

Maybe it won't be so bad, in Harry Potter they gave all the students weapons and they did OK.

Plan B is no longer the most derided plan on Twitter.

The only thing that surprises me about the NRA press conference is that they didn’t suggest tax cuts would help fix things, too.

Maybe we could just buy Santa's naughty/nice database to see who can have guns.

I guess this means we can fight obesity with pudding. I knew the solution would be delicious!

The only way this NRA press conference would make any sense is if someone shouted, "LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!"
