NRA Trolls Twitter: How’d Kim Kardashian Get Robbed at Gunpoint in Paris ‘Gun-Free Zone’?
The National Rifle Association took to Twitter Monday to make light of the robbery of Kim Kardashian at gunpoint in Paris, which occurred despite France’s strict gun control laws.
Wait, criminals held @KimKardashian at gunpoint in Paris? How is that possible? Does anyone know if they passed a background check first?

It’s shocking that these criminals did not subject themselves to Paris’ strict #guncontrol laws before committing this awful crime.

The NRA even took a tweet from gun control activist Shannon Watts and incorporated it into the tweetstorm.
This is why women and mothers want stronger gun laws. @NRA opposes closing background check loophole that allows criminals to get guns. https://t.co/2Ft64129WL

Stronger gun laws… like the ones they have in Paris? #askingforafriend https://t.co/xHUhViDtpN
