Emma Gonzalez is one of the super obnoxious Parkland activists who has absolutely no idea how the Constitution works. Or how guns work. Or how the NRA works. Or how ANYTHING works.
Case in point.
Over the weekend, some low-fo on Twitter tweeted out the dumbest statement in the universe.
lets defund the NRA and give teachers a RAISE. god knows they deserve it.

Oooooooook…but the government doesn’t actually fund the NRA. Poor girl. She must be thinking of Planned Parenthood.
Yes, reducing federal funds to the NRA could totally be used to increase the salaries of teachers who are paid by state governments. Excellent idea. Need more minds like this in officeππ»π€π€

Can’t defund something that isn’t funded.

She tried to backtrack. It was sad.
in no way am i stating that i think the NRA is publicly or gov funded. i am aware that this isnβt the case. however, my tweet was intended to state that i disagree w the fact that there is so much money that goes into the NRA, and rather, i wish that teachers had better pay. thx https://t.co/E4OxAl9AYZ

Oh please. We all knew what she meant. What else does “let’s defund the NRA” mean? You’re meaning to tell me you MEANT, “Let’s prevent people from becoming NRA members for now on”? You can’t stop private citizens from supporting an organization that stands up for our Second Amendment rights.
Nice try.
Aaaannnndddd you made it worse

Yeah, no. It's very obvious you thought the NRA receives government funding, that it should stop receiving government money and give that money to teachers.

So you want to tell people not to be members of the @NRA ?

She totally thought the NRA was funded by the US government. That backpedal was weak.
She can disagree that I pay to be an NRA member all day every day, but I don’t care.
But back to her original tweet. Look who retweeted it.
That’s right. Emma “Go-Serve-Your-F***ing-Country” Gonzalez.
These are the people who want to dictate gun legislation. This is EXACTLY why we cannot take them seriously. They’re emotionally-driven, ignorant punks.
