The National
Rifle Association Mocks Kim Kardashian Over Paris Gunpoint Robbery
The National Rifle Association has taken to Twitter to
seemingly mock Kim Kardashian after she was robbed of millions in jewellery 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 (October 3), robbing her at gunpoint of up to $10
million worth of jewellery.
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, 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.
