A Getty Image photograph of gun rights activists in the Frankfort, Kentucky Capitol Building has triggered failed presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke:
Wake the fuck up America! https://t.co/rSKUcXBBmv

And just about every other lib on Twitter:
This isn’t a scene from a movie. Gun extremists rallied at the Kentucky State House today, trying to intimidate lawmakers & stop them from passing common-sense gun safety laws.
The vast majority of Americans support background checks & red flag laws, and we’re not going anywhere https://t.co/fFnWjRccK6

Sigh. This would not happen, and if these people knew actual gun owners they’d know how stupid they sound:
The fastest way to get gun control would probably be if African Americans and Arab Americans did this. https://t.co/9rqwfVhEiB

They’re terrorists. . .
Terrorist cosplay is a bizzare hobby. https://t.co/JqPTl0KQs0

These clowns look like they should be fighting in some Russian-backed separatist group. https://t.co/RwboWB7eXQ

Well, back in 1776, some guys wrote a letter to the King of England. . .
How is this allowed https://t.co/Abnzwv5rHx

Yet, oddly, nobody was injured:
I'm afraid of white men in masks… https://t.co/uEZEZ3SWra

Kentucky just elected a Democrat as gov:
This is a legislature in America.
The wildness in this country comes from the top. https://t.co/x5e137bKc6— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) January 31, 2020
Or not:
this country is hosed https://t.co/lCZNVlSGfj

Yet, nobody was killed:

More of this BS:
What are the chances that any of these people would be alive right now if they weren't white? https://t.co/wcIEqY1e65

And more of this BS:
You misspelled “extremists”. https://t.co/qIRoEffAR0

Well, since Dems have bashed Bernie on guns, they’d be OK with him?
we're a long way off, but been wondering lately how these guys respond if an old jewish socialist becomes president https://t.co/1tfIRF6qpT

The thing the Constitution puts second is not a right? OK:
Reason 10,000 why the idea of American exceptionalism should die. We can only do what we say America doesn't do, and not do what we say America does for so long to keep up the charade.
Explaining images like this with "rights" is cleaning up for threats of political violence. https://t.co/wQje51ltPf

And, finally, nope:
Groups of white men in camo with guns are more terrifying to me than anything in a horror movie. https://t.co/xo1AnkwxGN
