Before 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:

Several Twitterers volunteered to take it to the next level and shoot NRA members and officials:

While others took a more passive approach:

And hoped that someone else would do the dirty work:

But that wasn’t enough for others, who implored LaPierre and NRA members to kill themselves:

Good thing leftists believe in nonviolence.
