*Official Prediction String** New NRA talking points in response to firefighters being killed [View all]

My best guess is : "Well, we clearly MUST arm ALL of our firefighters nationally, so they can adequately defend themselves from all those 'bad people' with guns"!!! --> with thought balloon saying "Now let's see. 1.5 million firefighter$ X $850 (price of an AR-15), that's $9.6 TRILLION. Not bad.">

Of course, M$M reporters will probably forget to ask: "Mr. LaPierre, just how do you think all those 'bad people' got their guns in the first place?"
