NRA: We Need a Good Ol' Mass Shooting

Fairfax, Virgina


In the empty offices of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in Fairfax, VA, a high-ranking official sat down to discuss a peculiar implication of the COVID pandemic.

NRA: There are no more mass shootings!
Reporter: Isn’t that a good thing?
NRA: Well, I guess some of the fruit juice drinkers are happy about it, but it hasn’t been great for the NRA.
Reporter: How so?
NRA: Look around here.  You might get the idea everyone is working from home.  Fact is, we had to cut back on staff.  Most of those we had to let go were on our Incident Response Team.  No incidents, so no response. 
Reporter: So you want a mass shooting?
NRA: It would be really nice if we could bring some of those folks back.  Besides, we what would be better than some gruesome images of bullet-shattered corpses take our minds off all the depressing news about the pandemic.  We were hoping for there would be more shooting in those Black fellas’ protests, but they just broke a few windows.
Reporter: I guess you need to just sit tight and wait.
NRA: Well, obviously, we can’t just send anyone out to mow down dozens of citizens, that would probably … okay, definitely involve some criminal liability on our part.  But you may have noticed that there seem to be a lot of big crowds in many of the same regions that coincidentally have a lot of serious 2nd Amendment defenders.  So, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the right person gets cut off in the parking lot, or thinks someone bumped into his girlfriend, and before you know it – BAM – we’re back in business.
Reporter: I suppose you are pushing for schools to reopen, because nothing gets more attention than …
NRA: [Interrupts] Oh my, God.  Why didn’t I think of that?  Sorry, gotta make a few calls.
