Lefty Activists Try To Shame Sig Sauer For New Ad, But Twitter Responds With 'Hell Yeah'

One of the funniest things that happens on Twitter (and it happens regularly) is when a leftist group tries preaching to their choir with some self-righteous take, but conservative Twitter gets a hold of it instead and shows the left that they are not, in fact, the good guys. Heck, moments like that are half the reason it's so much fun to work for Twitchy. Yesterday, we saw a great example of this when Everytown -- a group that CLAIMS they are just for 'common sense' gun reform and ending gun violence, but actually embraces pretty much every liberal lie about guns you have ever heard -- sent out a tweet trying to shame Sig Sauer for a new advertisement. -- Everytown @Everytown: “Sig Sauer, an assault weapons manufacturer, dangerously equates American revolutionaries with today's AR-15 owners in their latest ad, saying, "Our freedom is once again in question" regarding gun regulations. Sig's answer for that "tyranny"? More AR-15s.”

The article Everytown is linking to is a completely dishonest hit piece from SmokingGun.org, so you probably shouldn't waste your time reading it (except for amusement). Damn. That nearly brought a tear to our eye. Especially the last four spoken words: 'Shall. Not. Be. Infringed.' The ad was created to promote Sig Sauer's new M400 TREAD rifle, and we really kind of want one of those now. Of course, Everytown and Smoking Gun's attempt to take down Sig Sauer ... didn't exactly go as planned. Despite Everytown's nearly 300,000 followers on Twitter, they received almost no replies in support of that effort. Instead conservatives -- who understand that the content of the ad is EXACTLY why the Second Amendment was written in the first place -- took over the tweet. -- Dana Loesch @DLoesch: “This ad is awesome, thanks so much for sharing it!” -- Right? We may have never even seen it if they hadn't shown it to us. Thank you, Everytown.
