Iranian and animal rights activist Nasim Aghdam opened fire at YouTube HQ in Northern California on Tuesday, reportedly because she was unhappy with the website for allegedly filtering her video content.
However, long before anyone could report the concrete facts of the shooting, actor, and director Michael Ian Black decided he knew exactly who was to blame: the NRA.
Just thirty minutes after the first reports of the shooting, Black tweeted, “Another shooting. I’m going to politicize the fuck out of it, and so should you. The NRA is a terrorist organization.”
Another shooting.
I’m going to politicize the fuck out of it, and so should you.
The NRA is a terrorist organization. https://t.co/UsoQBIxWpf— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) April 3, 2018
When people pointed out that Black was jumping the gun, so to speak, he lashed out like a typical “triggered” liberal. “No, I don’t know who the shooter is,” he tweeted. “The NRA and its blood-soaked lackeys made it possible for that person to get [the gun].”
No, I don’t know who the shooter is.
It doesn’t matter if they are an NRA member.
Yes, I know how they got the gun: the NRA and its blood-soaked lackeys made it possible for that person to get it. https://t.co/DcpasjveOD— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) April 3, 2018
The blood never dries. It never stops. The NRA is a terrorist organization. https://t.co/3Sx3Z6N6nB

Yes.
I am unhinged.
I am triggered.
I want the gun violence to stop.
Why are you not unhinged?
Why are you not triggered?
Why do you stand by and do nothing? https://t.co/Oy7PJfgRTl— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) April 3, 2018
I assumed nothing about the shooter’s motives nor their affiliation. I assert that the easy access of firearms in this country makes the NRA an accessory to it. https://t.co/4NkNBb39On

It’s currently unknown how Aghdam obtained the weapon she used, but given her position as an outspoken vegan and animal rights activist, it seems unlikely that she would support the NRA.
Furthermore, as another person pointed out to Black on Twitter, the YouTube building is a gun-free zone. Perhaps if California weren’t so anti-gun/anti-NRA, maybe there would have been a good guy with a gun there to stop Aghdam.
Share this if you support the NRA and think liberals like Michael Ian Black should keep their mouths shut!
