NRA urges Americans to wrap guns for under the tree this Christmas [View all]
Gun group gives followers a pro-tip on how to get weapon if spouse is against it
The National Rifle Association has urged Americans to wraps guns for under the tree this Christmas.
The gun rights advocacy group posted a picture of a sparkling handgun in a festive gift box to its Twitter account.
And it gave its 895,000 followers a seemingly tongue-in-cheek pro-tip on how to get a weapon this Christmas if their husband, wife or partner is against the idea.
Buy the gun you want. Wrap it and mark it from Santa. Your spouse will have to along with it or theyll ruin Christmas for the kids, they tweeted.
Social media users were quick to attack the group for the advert.

Tweet referenced in the article: Can you find *one* reputable gun safety expert who thinks a box with a handgun and some loose bullets in a gift-wrapped box under the Christmas tree, placed amongst gifts that are presumably toys for Santa-believing aged children, is responsible gun ownership? Just one? tweeted a user called WellRegulatedMilitia."
The NRA, like their benefactor and "Second Amendment solution" promoter Trumpty Bumpty, sees only profits at the expense of American's lives and well-being.
