Jason La Canfora is a CBS “NFL insider,” and, much like fellow NFL aficionado Bob Costas, he’s also an amateur firearms expert.
Today, his voice is among those calling on Congress to take action for gun control:
Anyone else appalled at the lack of progress regulating machine guns can text DEMAND ACTION to 644-33 and make a quick call for gun safety.

I know plenty. Keep loving your military grade mass-massacre tools.

Good stuff, right? It gets better:
Sean do you have any figures on how many have been killed by handguns in the US vs AR's. Jason might be suprised.

La Canfora returned fire with the mother of all anti-gun tweets.
Are you ready?

If that’s not amazing, we don’t know what is.
La Canfora was clearly cruisin’ for a bruisin’ …

Ouch.
What La Canfora needed now was a brilliant comeback. Too bad he only had this to offer:
save your bought-and-paid-for rhetoric for a brainwashed sheep who might buy the talking points. Go home. You're not welcome here

Awww. Bless his clueless, dishonest little heart.
