Predictable scapegoat emerges for spread of Ebola (Hint: It begins with 'N' and ends with 'RA')

The Ebola outbreak has already been blamed on “climate change,” and you might be able to guess who’s next in line for scapegoating:

Ebola in the US and according to @CeasefireUSA that means you should be outraged at the #NRA. https://t.co/G0A7Tlf0mp

Really? According to States United to Prevent Gun Violence, yes:

Ebola now in the US. Surgeon General should be leading the way on public health education but NRA stalled nomination. No outrage?

One way to keep Ebola contained is to get outraged at the NRA? We’ll have to check with the CDC on that one.

So far there isn’t much outrage, but there is plenty of mockery:

@ceasefireusa Ebola's the NRA's fault? Hahahahahaha! Thanks for the belly laught!
