Looks like those Russian bots who “threw the election” or something have decided to join the Democrat/Media bandwagon and are now spamming gun control propaganda on Twitter now. Now watch, the Democrats and media will use Russian bot talking points to spew their crap about gun grabbing.

The accounts have reportedly tweeted hashtags such as #Parklandshooting and #guncontrolnow in the days following the shooting, which has reignited the divisive issue of gun control.
Wired first reported the bots’ increased activity after the shooting.
Nikolas Cruz, 19, is accused of killing 17 people and injuring numerous others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last week after he allegedly opened fire with an AR-15 rifle.
The Times cites researchers such as the Alliance for Securing Democracy and New Knowledge for tracking accounts linked to Russian actors.
“This is pretty typical for them, to hop on breaking news like this,” Jonathon Morgan, chief executive of New Knowledge, a company that tracks online disinformation campaigns, told the Times. “The bots focus on anything that is divisive for Americans. Almost systematically.”
