Following the horrific Paris terror attacks, the anti-gun group Moms Demand Action posted the following response to social media:
Our hearts are with the victims and survivors of the horrific mass shooting and violent attacks in Paris today. pic.twitter.com/vMs5jkH9vI

"Our hearts are with the victims and survivors of the horrific mass shooting and violent attacks in Paris today," the message read.
But the accompanying image contained text that's a bit more explicit regarding who (or more correctly, what) the group blamed for huge loss of life: "We are united in mourning all lives lost to gun violence."
As you might imagine, the group got hit pretty hard with alternate theories and rebuttals:
@MomsDemand @Everytown this isn't about gun violence, it's about Muslim Extremism. Pls don't make this about gun control.

@MomsDemand isn't this what you wanted? A whole country unable to defend themselves because the gov't didn't allow their ppl access to guns.

@MomsDemand France has strict gun laws; how did those guns end up in Paris? Don't the suicidal jihadis know the law?

.@MomsDemand Gun violence? Are you insane? I mean, really, are you literally insane to call this gun violence?
