Supermodel Leaving Twitter Following Death Threats After Tweet On America’s Gun Violence


On Thursday, a supermodel had the audacity to Tweet her opinion on gun control following the shooting in Ottawa, Canada, and she was spot on, Now after death threats poured in following her tweet,?Chrissy Teigen is leaving Twitter.

Teigen’s initial tweet:

That innocuous tweet resulted in this:

2014-10-23_19-53-59

2014-10-23_19-54-07

She’s leaving.

Sadly, this is nothing new. Moms Demand Action members receive outrageous tweets over their efforts to support common sense gun laws. Still, I wish she wouldn’t leave because of a few unhinged gun fetishists. The fact is, her tweet wasn’t just an opinion. It’s a reality.

It’s not just women or celebrities — no one, including our elected officials can have a discussion on implementing gun laws, or just background checks. It’s as if you’re killing their first born. ?The attacks pour in. Our country’s safety is being dictated by a minority. ?Most gun owners are responsible but there are a few who should never own a firearm.
