The NRA Doesn’t Care About Mothers or Mass Shootings

Their Mother’s Day tweet tells us all we need to know about their thoughts on those who lost their lives to violence.

The National Rifle Association could have thought twice about the tweet they sent out today in celebration of Mother’s Day, but they did not.

No, they knew who would be nodding along in agreement: people who think victims are just sensitive snowflakes.

After all, “victim” is a status for liberals to claim, not conservatives — right?

Take a look for yourself:

Forever grateful for these fierce women…who never seem to show up in time to make a difference? Forever grateful for what, the right to self-defense even when it never seems to defend those who lose their lives to mass shootings?

I’m sorry, but if I lost a child to a mass shooting — which happen at an ungodly rate in the United States — I would have lost my shit when I saw this tweet.
