Before this morning’s presser, lefties had hoped that NRA chief Wayne LaPierre would accept blame on behalf of the NRA for last week’s massacre in Newtown. Instead, he called for our nation’s schools to be equipped with armed guards and reiterated that guns can also be tools of self-defense. That didn’t sit well with anti-gun zealots, and Twitter exploded with hate directed at LaPierre and the NRA:

Dear Wayne Lapierre,
Fuck You!
Most sincerely, The Moms.— Lesley Chesterman (@lesleychestrman) December 21, 2012
LaPierre give it up. Most of us hate you more then we do the mentally ill shooter. You ARE just as responsible fuck you& your fucking guns
— MagicLaura (@LauraShezBar) December 21, 2012
Fuck you Wayne Lapierre. You have blood on your hands, please get off my TV screen.
— Chase Coxxx (@JuicyGigolo) December 21, 2012
Several Twitterers volunteered to take it to the next level and shoot NRA members and officials:
Can…can we shoot…the NRA?

While others took a more passive approach:
FUCK YOU LaPierre! Just FUCK YOU! Times like this I hope St. Peter is at the gait to send you straight to hell for eternity

Wayne LaPierre can go fuck himself with an assault rifle.

And hoped that someone else would do the dirty work:
The NRA said 'The way to deal with bad people with guns is to have good people with guns' so can someone good shoot the NRA?

Someone should shoot Wayne LaPierre, US would be a better place without him and people who think like him #FuckTheNRA

I wish someone would shoot Wayne LaPierre in bogus self defense so w can just move on (but really though, that's an airtight plan)
— fuck 12 (@iAmMinel) December 21, 2012
It's times like these that you wish some gun wielding, never owned a TV or games psychopath would shoot up the .@NRA offices. #FuckTheNRA
— DerrickGott007 (@derrickgott007) December 21, 2012
Someone shoot the NRA president before he takes my video games and movies away.
— BILL$ (@billscostello) December 21, 2012
I’m not saying you should, but if someone were to shoot and kill high-ranking NRA officials, I don’t think I’d be upset with that person.
— Jeff Ferguson (@JeffreyTFerg) December 21, 2012
Someone shoot Lapierre right now.

Someone shoot Wayne LaPierre like fifty times already let's see how they'd respond
— Fuckhead Jones ?️? (@mister_smiley) December 21, 2012
But that wasn’t enough for others, who implored LaPierre and NRA members to kill themselves:
If there is any justice in the world Wayne LaPierre will accidentally drop his gun and shoot himself in the face. #Newton
