So how about that Connecticut Elementary School Shooting; Troll at Your Own Risk

[archibaldcrane]

Anyone know why England banned handguns?

Who cares? It'll get changed at some point, doubt that it was intentional.

It obviously wasn't intentional, but after countless Twitter gaffes like this you'd think companies would learn.

[Correction]

Fucking hell.

I don't see a problem with that tweet.

[archibaldcrane]

Shouldn't have been using gun metaphors in a war zone.

Learn what? It's a story that is less than 2 hours old, and not everyone is obsessed with the horrors of our world like we are.

I just heard not long ago. I can't even find the words right now..

Is it reasonable to hold companies accountable for gaffes that occur in real time?

[Fievel]

They clearly didn't know about the shooting, people will obviously take it the wrong way, and it will be changed.

Is it really something that needs to be discussed?

[Correction]

Oh dear these child interviews are awkward

And so it begins, thanks Piers Morgan...

If you maintain a Twitter account, you need to be current when you post shit. In this case, there's probably not going to be any blowback considering Gamestop's usual clientele, but still.

If they use social media, yes.

You know it was going to happen. It's inevitable.

People can shrug off teens and college students but children? Too hot a topic to back down from.

Reading the comments on cnn and facebook is making me really mad. What kind of retard would use this as an argument against gun control? "Outlawing guns only arms outlaws." Really? People can't ever seem to refrain from politicizing everything these days.

Edit: I don't like it much on the other side too, I think it is too soon for Piers to be making comments like that. At least wait a little while before turning this into a political discussion.

This is unreasonable but they'll change it anyway. People need to stop being fucking retards and learn what context is.

This is exactly why gun control should be more strict.
Say what you want, but such outrageous events are nowhere near as common in Europe because it's much harder to get access to guns here.

[archibaldcrane]

He's right, Britian's Dunblane elementary school handgun massacre is a solid parallel to this. However, it's not just about "standing up to the gun lobby" - we know how the Supreme Court currently rules on the 2nd amendment, it would take a constitutional amendment to ban handguns, and that's not something the President gets to just decide on.

You are a moron.

So now we get to see the NRA lobby go up against one of the biggest scare arguments of all time.

... Did someone bring some popcorn?
