Everytown for Gun Safety hates guns. So much so that they’ll say just about anything to get people to notice them.
Case in point, these delightful tweets:
Ask @Cabelas to join Walmart and only sell a gun after a background check has been completed.

We're asking @Cabela’s to join Walmart and only allow gun sales once background checks have been completed http://t.co/Kup0Asimu3
— Everytown (@Everytown) July 13, 2015
What? You mean Cabela’s will just sell anyone a gun, no questions asked? No background check required??? But, that’s crazy!
No, really. It’s crazy. Because it’s complete and utter bullcrap:
Every store purchase involves a background check. We’re now in the Say Obviously Untrue Things part of the drive. https://t.co/2gPihcxZmD

@Everytown @Cabelas Mission accomplished! They now DO background checks! Great job in your advocacy! Here's a gold star.

@Everytown @Cabelas Sign this petition! Ask Cabela's to only EXHALE after they INHALE! Are you people morons? The DO background checks!

@Everytown @Cabelas Haha. Ask them to do something they already do? Brilliant. Hey Everytown, be stupid. See what I did there?

@Everytown This is a blatant lie. I've purchased guns @Cabelas . There's always a BG check. They have a separate desk & waiting area for it.

@Everytown @Cabelas I just purchased a firearm at Cableas and guess what I did a background check. Get your facts straight morons.

@Everytown they already do background checks. Do you even know what's going on?

(That’s a rhetorical question, of course.)

The answer is (D) — all of the above.

Yeah, well, unfortunately, the world of Everytown is far from sane. It’s more like some demented fever dream.
I’ve heard that, if it’s your birthday, Cabela’s lets you kill an employee. https://t.co/2gPihcxZmD

Is there such thing as a background check for weapons-grade stupidity? Because if so, Everytown, you fail. You fail hard.

Oh, snap!
@Everytown @Cabelas Who does your guys' research? Or is this all just trying to raise money from the credulous and ignorant?
— Christopher R Taylor (@KestrelArts) July 13, 2015
Actually, that’s exactly what it is.
