The former Navy SEAL, whose more than 400 missions included putting the fatal shot in the head of terrorist Osama bin Laden, addressed the topic of gun control this week–criticizing student activists who advocate restricting firearm ownership in the wake of last month’s school shooting in Florida.

Oddly, there has never been an NRA member involved in any mass shooting. Why not abolish the YMCA? They're both private organizations, after all, and YMCA has had drownings in their pools. The NRA doesn't sell firearms; they sell memberships to millions of people in the USA. That membership, by the way, is growing thanks to kids like Hogg and company.
