Why do the gun control TwitterX accounts know so little about guns?
The 'K-12 School Shooting Database' account began with the typical misinformation about gun shows.
Myth: All gun sales have background checks.

Fact: Lewiston (pictured) has one of the largest gun shows in Maine where any type of firearm can be bought with cash without any record of the sale.

The attempted correlation to take advantage of the recent travesty is gross. They don't know that the Maine murderer acquired his firearms from Lewiston or a gun show.
There's also the blatant falsehood that leads readers to believe guns are just sold willy-nilly at gun shows for cash. Background checks are still required for sales by dealers.
Then it gets even more amusing …
Gun shows drive gun crime in cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Chicago because someone can make cash purchases of multiple weapons at a gun show and then drive the guns to a city to sell on the street.

No records of the sales enable this trafficking. pic.twitter.com/ARNYcCekNu
It's all so cliche at this point. They follow up with the old 'red states' are making people in blue state cities break the law.
They admit people in those cities are breaking the law by illegally buying guns 'on the street' but somehow think the same criminals will be stopped by gun laws that punish innocent gun owners.
Then it got funny …

This dude replied with a pic of his air rifles and claimed they were sniper rifles with 'Integral Silencers & high power scopes'. LOL!
Then it got downright hilarious …
This might be the next school shooter making this comment on my post.

We need an Executive Order to stop this problem from spiraling out of control. pic.twitter.com/arvLCV3lAU
They. Took. It. Seriously.
Aye yai yai!

Well, this just got awkward.
This is the dumb we're dealing with. These are BB guns and this is a trolling post, but the anti's don't have any clue what they're talking about. https://t.co/sdw0pNXiql

They rarely know what they're talking about.
You don't even know what you want to ban.🙄

At least be educated about the things you're fighting against. Heck, collecting data to find solutions to reduce school shootings is a perfectly worthwhile endeavor, as long as you don't infringe on people's Second Amendment rights. Ending the misinformation would be a good start.
Don't steal. You should credit the creator. @DaOthrJR

I bought this commuter off a NG supply sergeant. He said he'll just file some paperwork and list it as combat loss. pic.twitter.com/VqDZo6SO8l
He's got a tank! You better call the FBI.
I got this AK-74 at a garage sale. pic.twitter.com/Z64qfzTgZX

There's only one thing to say about this horrifying image of a high-powered assault weapon …

Okay, that's funny right there.
I just bought this FN SCAR off of an online dealer with no background checks, ffl or paperwork.

It's entirely silent and fires a caseless round using a state-of-the-art spring retraction system. https://t.co/5iOPeT2SCY pic.twitter.com/PQawtw22WP
And we're dead. 💀
You just got trolled by BB guns.

By all means continue saying incorrect things though, it's great.
Just another example of a gun control advocate showing themselves to be unarmed …
Troll level: Master. https://t.co/ATISbs6KTa

Well done, sir. We all needed a laugh.
