Pro-Gun Fox News Fans Lash Out at Parkland Student Survivors
Fox News fans are sick and tired of seeing students at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School call for stronger gun laws.
In response to a Fox News tweet about students in Parkland, Florida rallying to demand change to gun laws in the United States, many pro-gun Fox fans lashed out at the students and said they didn’t know what they were talking about when it comes to guns, despite the fact that a gunman last week murdered 17 of their classmates with an AR-15-style rifle.
One of the most common themes among the Fox fans was that the students were being paid by a shadowy left-wing donor to speak out, while other commenters accused the students of swallowing too many Tide Pods.
Check out the angriest reactions below.

That kid is going to make on hell of a poster child for their anti-gun movement in the wake of a national tragedy.
Democrats must be proud he can disrespect the president, and my guess is he talks the same way to his parents. #Disrespect @realDonaldTrump

Yes, because they are just so knowledgable about life, guns, mental health and how government works. Screaming does nothing. They’ll learn that in a few years.

Change must start within them. Unless they change within nothing will be accomplished. It wasn’t the gun but one of them!
