Kim Kardashian mocked by NRA over gunpoint robbery
The National Rifle Association has taken to Twitter to seemingly mock Kim Kardashian after she was robbed of millions in jewelry by armed men in Paris.
The reality star was left shaken when five men, two dressed as police offers, broke into her apartment in the French capital during the early hours Monday morning (03Oct16), robbing her at gunpoint of up to $10 million worth of jewelry.
However, not everyone has been sympathetic towards Kim, and now
pro-gun advocacy NRA has shared its thoughts on the ordeal, posting
pretend opposing views on the issue of gun control.
“Wait, criminals held @KimKardashian at gunpoint in Paris? How is
that possible? Does anyone know if they passed a background check
first?” a post read on the gun lobby's official Twitter page.
“It's shocking that these criminals did not subject themselves to
Paris' strict #guncontrol laws before committing this awful crime,"
read another seemingly sarcastic tweet on the NRA's Twitter
profile.
The NRA's unsympathetic response could be linked to the reality
star's outspoken stance on gun control following the mass shootings
at an Orlando nightclub in June (16), which became the deadliest in
U.S. history.
“Under current federal law people on terror watch lists can legally
buy guns – this is called the Terror Gap,” she wrote.
“The fact that anyone can so easily access guns is so scary & after
all of the devastating loss the Senate should have not failed
us!!!” she posted the same month.
While some Twitter users joined in the NRA's mockery, many of Kim’s
fans jumped in to defend their idol, such as user @PittSimpleton
who tweeted, “It's classless to make fun of the victim. Would it
have been funny if it had been your mom or sister?”
Kim has remained silent on social media since the incident and
jetted to New York on Monday to be reunited with her husband Kanye
West, who has postponed two dates on his Saint Pablo tour to
support his wife.
