I generally don't condone gun violence, but Wayne Lapierre should do us a favor and shoot himself in the face. #NRA #Lapierre

Sam Malone's Wig (@SamMalonesWig) December 21, 2012Before this morning’s presser, lefties had hoped that NRA chief Wayne LaPierre would accept blame on behalf of the NRA for last week’s massacre in Newtown. Instead, he called for our nation’s schools to be equipped with armed guards and reiterated that guns can also be tools of self-defense. That didn’t sit well with anti-gun zealots, and Twitter exploded with hate directed at LaPierre and the NRA:
Wayne LaPierre and his stooges are monsters, plain and simple. Fuck guns and fuck them.—

Dear Wayne Lapierre,
Fuck You!
Most sincerely, The Moms.—

Fuck you Wayne Lapierre. You have blood on your hands, please get off my TV screen.—
Chase Coxxx (@JuicyGigolo) December 21, 2012
Several Twitterers volunteered to take it to the next level and shoot NRA members and officials:
Can…can we shoot…the NRA?—

While others took a more passive approach:
FUCK YOU LaPierre! Just FUCK YOU! Times like this I hope St. Peter is at the gait to send you straight to hell for eternity—

And hoped that someone else would do the dirty work:
The NRA said 'The way to deal with bad people with guns is to have good people with guns' so can someone good shoot the NRA?—

shooting the head of the NRA in the face seems like the obvious answer.—

But that wasn’t enough for others, who implored LaPierre and NRA members to kill themselves:
If there is any justice in the world Wayne LaPierre will accidentally drop his gun and shoot himself in the face. #Newton—
