After Ohio State attack, George Takei picked a strange day to boldly go after the NRA

It was no surprise whatsoever that Moms Demand jumped the gun Monday morning with its response to the attack at Ohio State University, accusing America of giving dangerous people guns and asking students to defend themselves.

Students at the school were fortunate that they didn’t have to defend themselves; an OSU officer armed with a gun quickly ended what could have been a killing spree by a man with a butcher knife.

Unless there was some high-profile shooting incident Monday that slipped by everyone but him, the timing of George Takei’s tweet about the NRA’s complicity with shootings seems odd, considering he tweeted it hours after it was confirmed at a press conference that there was no active shooter on the OSU campus.

Tired of the shootings, and the complicity of the NRA? Join us to help fight. https://t.co/Vh3e3CJKqz

Yeah, today probably wasn’t the best day to try to recruit followers in the fight to disarm Americans.

Tired of ex-celebs misrepresenting current events to call attention to a false narrative?

You must mean the shooting where a police officer killed a man attempting mass murder. You want to stop that?
