And right on cue, here’s actor-comedian Michael Ian Black’s reaction to the horrific, deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas:
The NRA is a terrorist organization. There's no other way to say it.

Because God forbid holier-than-thou lefty celebrities blame, you know, the shooter.
starting to think "thoughts and prayers" does nothing???

Sure it does – it lets people off the hook for being accessories to murder. https://t.co/8n1tlHQ5xU

It takes a truly effed-up mind to believe that those responding with prayers are “accessories to murder.”
As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless act of violence in Las Vegas, @POTUS has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff. pic.twitter.com/QupqtrILVe

Feels like they're in a permanent state of half-staff because of all the mass shootings. Maybe flying them upside down would be more apt? https://t.co/HVeRNTHt6c

The NRA? People are in surgery & dying & families aren't sure if loved ones have survived. Don't politicize this you heartless hack! https://t.co/aBaZ2RvHOe

I know you weren't talking to me & I love you, but the NRA are accessories to murder for this and for the nation's insane gun violence rate. https://t.co/F0uXS7BCt2

Here you are, bitching about the NRA when there's 500+ people suffering right now. Including CHILDREN.

Bitching about them BECAUSE there are 500+ suffering people in Vegas right now and 100ks suffering from effects of gun violence across USA. https://t.co/gTMONhj9FI

I am a member of the NRA and I take offense to your comments. Like freedom of speech- it is our 2nd amendment right. People kill ppl
— wac (@mrwlcar) October 2, 2017
I understand why you would take offense, and I stand by my comment.

Of course he stands by it. Because he’s so blinded by visceral hatred for the NRA and Second Amendment that he can’t even see the hatred in himself.
The NRA stokes fear to achieve political ends, relentlessly works to put weapons of mass destruction in the hands of individuals. Terrorism. https://t.co/zlDNrFmFMY
