Donald Trump Jr. weighed in on the shooting at YouTube’s California headquarters with a question that stoked the fires of the gun debate.
President Donald Trump’s eldest son took to Twitter to comment in the wake of reports that the “hateful” Instagram and YouTube channels of the shooter were pulled “immediately” after Tuesday’s shooting in San Bruno, Fox News reported.
You think there’s any chance whatsoever that a mass shooters hateful Instagram and YouTube channels would be pulled immediately if they were NRA members as opposed to liberal Vegan PETA activists? Asking for a few million friends in the @NRA

San Diego resident Nasim Aghdam allegedly opened fire with a handgun at YouTube’s headquarters wounding three people before killing herself. Her connection to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) or how much of an activist she was were not clear as of Tuesday but the 39-year-old had been quoted in a news report about a PETA protest and posted videos on YouTube, mostly about animal rights, according to Fox News.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle:
Aghdam appears to have kept up an active presence online, including on YouTube, where she posted several videos, mostly about animal rights, some of which appear to be graphic, including one of a dog being boiled alive. Other videos extol the virtues of a vegan diet and feature Aghdam performing exercise routines.
With the nation embroiled in debating gun laws and attacking the National Rifle Association in the wake of the Feb. 14 mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., which left 17 people dead, Trump Jr.’s tweet sparked another round of debate.
Many criticized what they saw as his politicizing of the incident.
Shabby statement.

Never seen anyone so excited about people getting shot! Sad!

Doesn’t matter that she identified in those ways. She used a gun to kill people. Gun violence kills 10k a year in this country. Unacceptable.

Never mind that liberals took to the airwaves to spout about gun control immediately after the Florida school massacre, turning vigils for the victims into rallies and protests.
Many Twitter users called out the hypocrisy and defended the point Trump Jr. was making.
FACTS MEDIA WILL COVER UP: YouTube shooter was:
?? liberal
??Peta activist

I’m getting so sick of being threatened with censorship by the so called tolerant left. They have no regard for the civil rights of other Americans that disagree with them. Freedom of speech and the second amendment mean nothing to them. #1A #2A #maga ???

Gun Control FAIL: YouTube Shooting Witness: “I Didn’t Have a Gun on Me, But Wish I Did”. More poof that gun control never works. Good guy with gun is the only proven way to stop a shooter.

I am waiting for the name of any NRA member who has shot and murdered someone.
We have a couple as the second gun on the scene that stopped all the nonsense, but no killers.
