The National Rifle Association on Monday rattled off a series of tweets mocking Kim Kardashian, after a group of gunmen robbed the reality TV star in Paris.

“Does anyone know if they passed a background check first?” the NRA tweeted.

Armed robbers stole more than $10 million worth of jewelry from Kardashian early Monday morning after tying her up and locking her in the bathroom, according to a report by the Associated Press.

A spokeswoman told the AP that Kardashian was shaken but physically unharmed.

Kardashian previously spoke out in favor of gun control in June, when she took to Twitter to criticize the Senate for its inaction after the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.

    classy as always, the NRA.

    newsflash, brainiacs: rape and murder are illegal, and people still commit rape and murder. that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have laws against rape and murder. shove your stupid “criminals don’t care about the law” argument up your asses.

  2. In this spirit, I guess the NRA would be fine with gun-control advocates mocking every time an infant blows his head off with the pistol his “well-regulated militia” parent kept in the house.

  3. “Oh & mentally ill people can buy guns without a background check too.”

    And apparently they can belong to the NRA.

  4. Count on the NRA to sour the milk of human kindness – and not in a good, Chobani way.

  5. And once again the NRA makes me feel sorry for someone I would normally not care about.
