No Questions on N.R.A. Plan, but Plenty of Comments

The National Rifle Association didn’t take any questions at its press conference last Friday, announcing its National School Shield program to arm every school with guns. But there were plenty of harsh words on Twitter, many from celebrities.

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

    NRA: If we banned schools there would never be another school shooting.

    NRA says we need armed guards at every school. Well, since NRA IS SHILLING FOR THE FIREARMS INDUSTRY, this makes good sense for them.

    I would try to parody today's NRA statement but the NRA already did that. #nra

    Someone just threw an Xbox at my head. In this case, it is safe to say video games are responsible for violence.

    Wanting America to ban assault weapons & high-capacity magazines isn't 'anti-constitutional' - it's called 'common sense'. #GunControlNow

    Hopefully none of these maniacs listen to Mumford & Sons because then no more Mumford & Sons and there goes the banjo industry.

    NRA guy forgot to blame romantic comedies for all the love-crazed people running through our airports.
