Navratilova may be an expert on the tennis court, but when it comes to the gun control debate? She might want to stay on the sidelines. Not only does she think grave-dancin’ fool Piers Morgan is the bee’s knees:
@PiersMorganLive @piersmorgan congrats… you are being very brave on the gun control debate, catching flack from all kinds of places…

But this afternoon, she gave Jim Carrey her official seal of approval, calling his “Cold Dead Hand” video — which mocks gun owners and the late Charlton Heston — “hilarious.” Hilarious!
Forgive us if we fail to see anything funny about Carrey’s assertion that Second Amendment advocates are child-hating, “heartless motherf*ckers.”
Thinks demeaning majority of Americans and Civil Rights hero is "hilarious" ==> RT @Martina: @JimCarrey well done on the video- hilarious!!!

Navratilova didn’t take kindly to being called out:
@RichardRSmithJr @JimCarrey wow,talk about jumping from A to wherever with nothing in between. Can you say parody? Speak for yourself…
— Martina Navratilova (@Martina) April 5, 2013
Um, did she watch the same video we did? Shouldn’t parody be witty? Clever? “Cold Dead Hand” was neither of those things.
She continued:
@RichardRSmithJr nobody is demeaning the majority of Americans, your sense of humor has left the building.
— Martina Navratilova (@Martina) April 5, 2013
Oh no? So, suggesting that gun owners are “shooting blanks” and “impotent” isn’t demeaning? Could’ve fooled us.
This isn’t about having a sense of humor; this is about viciously demonizing Americans who believe in our constitutional right to bear arms.
Bad call, Martina.
