Lefty "logic": https://t.co/QBARrNfFxk

Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe weighed in on behalf of the pro-gun control side of the argument by pointing out how an old adage is incorrect:
The idea that "if we outlaw guns only criminals will have guns" ignores the point that it's not criminals shooting up schools.

An overwhelming number of tweeters pointed out the Kluwe blocked his own punt on that particular play:

Attempted murder …now don't quote me on this because I'm not a lawyer I think might be a crime.

@ChrisWarcraft can u expand on this? I am not sure that I understand .as just the planning of the shooting is a crime. Thank you

@ChrisWarcraft It IS criminal to shoot up a school. So if criminals aren't shooting up schools, who is it?

But Kluwe did have some support:
THIS. This is what I keep trying to explain to seemingly intelligent, logical gun owners. https://t.co/DVmBVcGx52

I've never seen as many people all simultaneously miss the point as I have in the responses to this tweet https://t.co/w6sMXlJNHh

In any case, Kluwe’s undaunted by the criticism:
Lol. So many angry gun nuts in my mentions right now. Feed me your hate, your small minded fear. The block cannon never runs low on ammo.

Thanks for stopping by the feed, gun nuts! It's too bad you won't be able to see this as I've blocked all of you for wanton idiocy.

If only a good guy with a gun had managed to stop you from exercising your first amendment rights to fail at life. Better luck next time!
