When it was Twitter, they were called tweets. Now that Elon Musk has renamed it to X, I’ve heard that they are called “xeets”, “xcerpts”, or merely posts.
Regardless, this is a great comment by Conrad Hannon. I don’t know who he is but he nails it.
Some people wake up in the morning, and instead of drinking coffee to start their day, they put on their thin skin and venture out into the world with the intent of finding things to be offended about
The tweet of the day comes from my friend Tony Simon who is doing missionary work for the Second Amendment in New Jersey with his 2A for Everyone organization.
His tweet was in response to Brady Campaign gibberish about AR-15s.
“Assault weapons”? You mean the firearms in every police car/station in America? Politicians have no logic, no empathy, no class and no morals. They have agendas. Trust no one attempting to convince you to give away your rights. They only offer the illusion of safety.
This picture accompanied the tweet:
Tony is absolutely correct.
If you and I own one of these firearms, the gun prohibitionists and the media will call it an “assault weapon”. However, if it is in a cop car or even in a safe within a school for the school resource officer, why then it is a patrol rifle or carbine and a good thing.
The tweet of the day comes from F-111 John in response to Tom Gresham on the “dear employee” letter sent out by Wayne LaPierre yesterday.
Can we just relocate Wayne LaPierre instead, preferably completely out of the NRA?

I must say I agree with his sentiment.
The New York Times is bemoaning the fact that all those gun control laws in California do nothing to stop mass casualty events.
The reply by “JustynWS” nails it – do you treat the symptom or do you treat the cause.
Gun control is like giving a lung cancer patient a bottle of cough suppressant and saying the cancer is cured because their coughing went away.

You're treating the symptom, not the cause.
We have often seen tweets where the commenter says that they are a veteran, that they know about firearms, and that no civilian needs an AR-15 (or fill in the blank firearm.)
Someone by the name of Lakota Man, had just such a tweet.
When I was in the Army, we kept our M-16’s locked up in the armory. The only time we brought them out was for guard duty — or when we trained for war.
— Lakota Man (@LakotaMan1) July 6, 2022
He got a response from War Path to which he agreed.
Talk about getting owned.
The sad thing is that Lakota Man has over 200,000 Twitter followers and I would wager a good number of them think that the forward assist is some sort of full auto button. As to War Path, that was world-class trolling!
The tweet of the day illustrates the cognitive dissonance on the part of the Left with regard to the firearms industry. A Florida lawyer who devotes much of his time to researching “the right-wing” seems to think that the firearms industry has had no supply chain issues.
Rob Romano’s tweet humorously corrects that misapprehension.
Tell me you haven't bought guns or ammo since February 2020 without telling blah blah blah https://t.co/8AqYo5NRMT

The tweet of the day comes from the Firearms Policy Coalition. It points out that President Biden’s new nominee to head BATFE, Steve Dettelbach, is like David Chipman but without the paper trail.
I love the play on the old Scooby Doo cartoon as well.
Dettelbach’s nomination is nothing short of a stealth attempt by the Biden Administration to appoint someone with the same radical values as David Chipman, but without the extensive public paper trail. pic.twitter.com/6EuL8Rqddq

The winner for tweet of the day goes to the Firearms Policy Coalition.

The Interwebs never forget.
Well played, FPC! Well played.
Dr. Lee Ritz wins the Internet today for this tweet. It shows Kenosha County Assistant DA James Kraus as he listens to testimony by Gaige Grosskreutz in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Let’s just say the testimony didn’t go as the prosecution hoped.
Twitter can be a cesspool but it does come through on occasion.
"Hey Boss, I was wondering, can I bring my gun to work?"
— Hauptmann Meade (@HeinrichMeade) September 3, 2021
My boss, a nice Indian man, "You own a gun and don't bring it to work?" *lifts his shirt to reveal his conceal carry glock*
God I love Texas.
