An American symbol joins the ranks of local government: a gun. Shoot Mcskeet is a firebrand mayor endorsed by the NRA. “This furthers our agenda! No, sorry, I meant BEST FRIENDA, Mr. McSkeet,” said a spokesperson for the NRA. “This is deeply concerning,” said a spokesperson for everyone else.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.
