Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action tried to get everybody to join her in pushing the panic button over what’s available for legal purchase for 18 to 20-year-olds:
You can buy this at @SportsmansWH if you’re 18. Tell them #NoGunUntil21 pic.twitter.com/85o34rbbD5

Ooh! Scary, right? Well, maybe, but only if “appearance” is the only measure.
That’s a .22 Shannon. Just stop it.

LOL! Thats .22 bolt action…. https://t.co/n0cnR5LxnO

Fact check: TRUE.
That's a bolt-action, .22-caliber rifle. It's used for target practice and hunting small critters/varmints. That's literally no different, functionally, than this rifle pictured below…it just "looks scarier". ffs. And you wonder why "common sense" gun legislation never passes. pic.twitter.com/LzzvDg5UIJ

.22 caliber rimfire rifle. Just because it looks evil doesn’t mean it is.

That's a bolt action rimfire rifle. This level of ignorance is unacceptable.

My 13 yo daughter has one. https://t.co/ltEI40w34U

It’s a bolt action .22 rifle suitable for killing small squirrels, one shot at a time. My 8 year old shoots one like it safely. But it looks scary to you so you fling up this dumb tweet. You need to actually know something about guns before you get to debate them, sweety. https://t.co/WlFrmNlY7o

This is litterly a bolt action 22lr. How ignorant are you?
— My Info (@wellhellonurse) March 3, 2018
This is proof
A) They don't know what they're talking about (.22lr bolt action). It's just scary looking and black
B) They do want to take everything. https://t.co/uYwovCopSq— Boomstick Jefe (@LakesFirearmsTr) March 3, 2018
Has your brain been deprived of oxygen or are you always this stupid?
It's a bolt action rifle in 22 caliber https://t.co/W1LD5q9asN

shitlibs now wanna ban bolt-action 22LR, but it's not a slippery slope or anything https://t.co/E4Cv36weDi

I shot a comparable rifle when I was 10. https://t.co/7XhRlBpMk8

That's a bolt action .22, and those haven't been used in any shooting. You can get airguns that shoot the pellet faster, and fire just as quick.
— Yooper (@Yoop3rman) March 2, 2018
Shannon that’s actually a bolt action. It has all the same furniture as an AR but it’s bolt action not even semi auto.

Beclowning themselves like never before. So stupid it hurts. https://t.co/sMqK0fC8kh

Another laughable lesson from noted firearm expert Shannon Watts has completed.
