On Tuesday, after the news of the shooting at YouTube’s headquarters in San Bruno, supposed comedian Michael Ian Black went, for wont of a better word, ballistic, ranting he would “politicize the f***” out of the incident, and adding that the NRA was a “terrorist organization.”

Edited screenshot of tweet below:

According to Reuters, the shooter was a female who wounded three people before killing herself.

Only a week ago, Black called for the end of the Second Amendment and compared private gun ownership with slavery.

I’ll say it – assault weapons aren’t the problem. Handguns are the problem. By all means, ban AR-15s and the like, but handguns kill far more people. The solution is to repeal and replace the Second Amendment. Make gun ownership a privilege, not a right.

Yes. Having the ready ability to take someone’s life is dominion over that person; gun ownership could be viewed as slavery by another name. https://t.co/8DJtCFNHbW

Black was torched for those tweets here.

He was also ripped repeatedly on Tuesday for his tweet regarding the YouTube shooting:

Because the victims don’t matter to you I guess. Only if it’s to score more political points. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!

He meant that instead of saying “this is awful” or “I hope no one was killed” he’s worried about pushing his agenda. So thoughtful

Show us all what the NRA has to do with criminal use of firearms.

Do you know who the shooter is? Do you know if they’re an NRA member? Do you know how they got the gun?
You’re pinning this on your preferred target without any evidence. https://t.co/r3Fo93jEky
