Jeb Bush Shredded Online After Weird Gun Tweet

Jeb Bush Shredded Online After Weird Gun Tweet
Twitter

Jeb Bush is running far behind in every Republican party poll for the presidency, and it seems he's getting a bit desperate in his chase for votes.

People were very confused.

Then the serious ones:

Even a bunch of Aussies got in on the act.

Like, Australians really got into this one.

Jeb's ill-advised photo comes just days after more bizarre gun Tweets from manufacturer Glock. Because, who wouldn't want to get a cardboard heart box filled with bullets for Valentine's Day?

Sorry Jeb. Looks like this one was a backfire.
