As Twitchy reported over the weekend, gun control activists led by David Hogg converged on the NRA’s headquarters in Virginia for a protest. It provided an opportunity for “person on the street” interviews, and these did not fail to deliver epic facepalms:
SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST: This one #gun-grabbing #protestor thinks THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO #DEFEND YOUR LIFE if an #intruder breaks into your house. The #NRA and our 6 million members know better than this and we will never stop fighting for the #2A! #EmptyHQ #FreeIceCream pic.twitter.com/SYWWztnl6Z

Wow, that’s nothing short of completely unhinged lunacy.
Fully semi automatic lmao ??

Is that the kind that takes the chainsaw bayonet modification?
This was my favorite interview by far. Hard to keep a straight face. https://t.co/hNVBDPpMm7

OMG! I had to watch this twice to make sure I heard them right… so they don't think I should defend myself from someone breaking in my home… and then a guy who should know about guns thinks FULLY SEMI AUTOMATIC GUNS should be banned!! FULLY SEMI AUTOMATIC..I have a headache!! https://t.co/wJxKXWF2Rz

Simply amazing. And of course there was the obligatory hypocrisy:
Today, @davidhogg111 (with armed security) and a bunch of gun-grabbing activists protested our empty HQ, and there were some interesting people there. Our social team chatted up the crowd and ended the day with ice cream paid for by @Everytown! Stay tuned for video interviews! pic.twitter.com/kIhcWZ28dJ
