Top conservative Erick Erickson shot literal holes in the argument for tighter gun control

Leading conservative Erick Erickson, the founder and outgoing editor-in-chief of RedState, took issue Saturday with The New York Times' front-page editorial calling for tighter gun control. So he responded with actual bullet holes:

"The New York Times wants you to be sitting ducks for a bunch of arms jihadists," Erickson wrote in a post accompanying the picture.

He also called on others to photograph their own bullet-riddled copies of the editorial, which came in response to Wednesday's fatal mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.
