Oh wow, right-wing Twitter, MSNBC’s Joy Reid really has you on the ropes now. Apparently, you all had a fit when Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger picked up Kyle Rittenhouse’s AR-15 and pointed it at the spectators in the courtroom WITH HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER.

But why should you all be concerned when you’ve tried to convince liberals that are ‘DUMB DUMB’ to fear AR-15s?
So according to right wing Twitter, it's OUTRAGEOUS for a prosecutor to point an unloaded AR-15 toward the jury to demonstrate how scary that firearm is, but totally cool for a teenager to point a loaded one at people and shoot them and also libruls are DUMB DUMB to fear AR-15s. pic.twitter.com/zmdi8hl2e7

That’s the dumbest tweet of the day.
Insert @AlecBaldwin joke here 👌🏼 https://t.co/FiOIKSQKBV

Yes it was outrageous for the DA to point the rifle at the jury, finger on the trigger. He trusted the one who handed it to him, and didn't check the chamber. Like Alec Baldwin.
And yes KR pointed his rifle towards the 3 guys who were attacking him.
This ain't rocket surgery. https://t.co/XaGZcR3IaR

Was the jury attacking the prosecutor as part of a mob? https://t.co/j7VKkUXCkk

Yes, pointing a gun at people who are actively trying to kill you is good.
Pointing a gun at a bunch of jurors in a courtroom is bad.
It is baffling you need this explained. https://t.co/KQxsoKUlU0

Not generally one to give advice, but "right-wing Twitter thinks that pointing a firearm at someone attacking you is ok but recklessly waving one around in a crowded courtroom isn't" is not the burn on right-wing Twitter you appear to believe it is. https://t.co/cxxI4Txefg

How are you people this stupid? Like for real?
It's not "right-wing", it's gun safety. This is demonstration in court vs being in danger. Two different scenarios. You need to take a damn gun safety class. https://t.co/TxVuxz8i1w

Ignorance about guns on full display. The lib media want all gun owners to be like Yosemite Sam. Having respect for a firearm and handling it with care does not mean one "fears" firearms. https://t.co/qSK8qs5C6l

Thanks for tweeting your ignorance. Anything you point a gun at is presumed loaded and you want to kill it. It is the most basic thing taught in gun safety courses https://t.co/opsprV9n8k

One is ignorance in how to safely handle a gun, the other was self defense.
Keep up https://t.co/Npp3d3buCE

Yes, only a right-winger could possibly think — checks notes — that it's unsafe to point a gun at people you don't intend to shoot, particularly with your finger on the trigger and without having personally verified immediately beforehand that it's unloaded. Kill me please. https://t.co/IdQlqTn93R

Complete morons of the left, absolutely clueless about gun safety, nevertheless foam at the mouth sanctimoniously about things they know nothing about.
Those who don't know anything about gun safely have no business holding one. Another Alec Baldwin testicle mishandles a gun. https://t.co/BxZyiHwVOO

Quite possibly one of the dumbest and most uninformed tweets of the day. Congratulations Joy. But to be fair, you win this award on an almost daily basis.😂 https://t.co/YQ0DGwqdMZ

Joy Reid, ladies gentlemen.
It must be nice knowing you can say anything you want — regardless of how false or stupid it is — and know that you'll never lose your job. https://t.co/WXuPFQwnyn
