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 bolt action rimfire rifle. This level of ignorance is unacceptable.

That's… that's a bolt action .22
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

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.

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