'Satire is DEAD'! MSNBC anchors get DRAGGED for 'incredibly dumb' take on gun physics

MSNBC’s so busy leaning forward that they can’t glance in a mirror to see how mind-numbingly stupid they look.

Take it away, Lawrence O’Donnell:

Lawrence: A bullet fired from an AR-15 travels 3x faster than one from a handgun.

And yet the president and the NRA think giving teachers guns will stop a school shooter https://t.co/heze69kRDU

And here’s Stephanie Ruhle bringing up the rear:

Also remember that Reagan was surrounded by the secret service in 1981…yet, he was shot.
How will teachers with guns protect students?
How does the best marksman in the world with a handgun take down a shooter with an AR-15 (bullets travel 3x faster) https://t.co/SRgoIaqnTl

We’ve heard a lot of anti-gun arguments, but the bullet speed one may take the cake.

There have been some ridiculously stupid anti-gun things said in the past few days, but this by far is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard

It would seem that drug-testing isn’t a thing at MSNBC

Oh my god, this is actually going to be a talking point, isn't it? The fact that AR-15 bullet travel milliseconds faster? https://t.co/F7QdKBKiVQ

Satire must’ve gotten shot with one of those extra-fast AR-15 bullets.

For the love of God, can journalists who have never touched a gun please at least watch a couple youtube videos? Take 10 minutes to learn a tiny bit and you won't come off like a complete imbecile on television. Please.

You realize the difference in an AR-15's vs. handgun's bullet's travel time is in the hundredths of seconds, right? https://t.co/uI1NRkepuv

No, but in all seriousness.

What does the speed of the bullet have to do with whether a person with a handgun could stop a person with an AR-15?

I really really need to know the logic behind this comment because, frankly, I need the laugh. https://t.co/ztsf2pRiRz

The fact that MSNBC geniuses are so earnest in their stupidity only makes this funnier.

We need to ban the guns that shoot the really fast bullets. Normal bullets are fine. Nobody *needs* REALLY fast bullets.

My sides hurt from laughing about the bullet speed comparison thing.

I mean, this is grade A unintentional comedy. https://t.co/alcce0fLHH

In all seriousness, though:
