As Twitchy reported earlier, Jason Seaman, a science teacher at Noblesville West Middle School in suburban Indianapolis, was shot three times as he tackled a school shooter and knocked his gun away from him Friday.
Of course, comedian Michael Ian Black immediately blamed not the shooter but the NRA:
A middle school. This is deliberate terrorism against our children. The NRA is terrorist organization. https://t.co/LG9yOa6fYl

You are a moron. The NRA had nothing to do with this and you know it. Why don't you try and blame the person who shot the gun and not an organization who has law abiding citizens as members who don't go on rampages. You are a has been hack trying to make yourself relevant. https://t.co/jOyO24pohp

Stop it. Just fucking stop it. The only reason these kids can shoot up our schools is because the NRA, a fucking terrorist organization, is de facto arming them. It happens almost every fucking day and you sit here defending the indefensible. Fuck you. Blocked. https://t.co/8n8aylGnWX

That’s an interesting take, and we’ve heard some hot ones, including claims that the NRA actually sells firearms and that the government funds the organization. But the NRA is “de facto” arming school shooters?

Can you walk me through exactly why the NRA is the only reason kids shoot up schools, and exactly under what definition does the NRA qualify as a terrorist organization? https://t.co/Zmmqkw1Opq

Can you imagine the amount of drugs and indoctrination it must take to come to a conclusion like this?
Last time I checked, NRA members aren’t responsible for any gun-related violence. Far from terrorists. They also don’t personally force or help their members by guns. Sober up! https://t.co/BqHzxPBnkP

Can someone explain how the NRA is a terrorist organization? They literally exist to educate on safe firearm handling. https://t.co/EBmLLPmLfS

When you have no idea what the NRA is, but have a public meltdown about it anyway https://t.co/Cr3VDVreNl

NRA does NOT arm anyone. They do however provide training, firearms SAFETY courses, and support education programs.
They also support reasonable gun safety laws.#FactsMatter https://t.co/MzZo72cU8z— FedUp??? (@FedUpwDemsLIES) May 26, 2018

Yes, let's have a conversation with this guy. He seems reasonable, well-informed and well-versed in the Constitution. Oh, and he's a "celebrity".https://t.co/j42r6uvnTK

The sure sign of a leftist loon: ignoring the perpetrator of the heinous act and looking for innocent third parties whose policies you disagree with to blame. https://t.co/XWrHlvXEbr

You continue to prove you're better at playing pretend than living in reality. You make factless claims all the time. https://t.co/jQtrO0nrRQ

On the bright side, this type of unhinged rhetoric only resonates with people in the echo chamber. So there's that. https://t.co/UHQOLwdZej

You’re seriously dumber than a bag of hammers. Literally ZERO evidence to back this statement up…but please keep stroking away. https://t.co/wFAWVdXwJu
