Is there anything more terrifying than the thought of Donald Trump in the White House?
How about another Bush presidency? Jeb Bush has not been performing as well as he would have hoped in the Republican nomination race and was hoping to get voters behind him by reaffirming his commitment to the second amendment (the right to bear arms). However the manner in which he did this may have been a tad extreme.

What does it really say about you when you feel you can define your country with an image of a weapon? Needless to say the internet was poised to mock Bush over the post and some of the responses are hilarious.

All joking aside, there was of course the question raised as to whether this should be a laughing matter. We think this one tweet sums up Jeb's post succinctly.
If you asked a child to write about what America means to them and he/she drew a picture of a gun, they’d be sent to counseling.
