        Shooting in the back of the head?? Hmmm... they should have turned them loose in a field and hunted them down as sport... the NRA are mostly “Sportsmen” right?

        @NRA @DLoesch why is this portrayal of NRA and people being held at gunpoint ok? If this said Muslim or the likes and same pic, it would get one banned. Subjectivism is real in twitter verse #NRA
