Wil Wheaton: ‘F*ck the NRA’; Throws hissy fit after gun control failure

As Twitchy reported, Manchin-Toomey gun control legislation failed in the Senate this afternoon by a vote of 54-46. Gun-grabbers immediately started once again politicizing Newtown.
Actor and writer Wil Wheaton kept it a bit shorter. Stay classy, Wil.
He wasn’t done, though.

That, by the way, is author Stephen King’s son. Twitchy readers remember Stephen King’s absurd gun-grabbing, NRA-bashing essay.
Mr. Wheaton complained about unhinged crazy on Twitter (conservatives, natch). Unhinged, heal thyself.
