The Internet is a strange place. It seems like we say that here often. But even on a day like today, people are still able to find something, even if it's a strange something, to help them laugh.
So why is Twitter joking about 30-50 Feral Hogs? Good question. After yesterday's double dose of American-made mass shootings, people took to Twitter to express their concern with assault weapons being so readily available to the American public.
If you’re on here arguing the definition of “assault weapon” today you are part of the problem. You know what an assault weapon is, and you know you don’t need one.

Jason Isbell posted the above tweet asking why people need assault weapons and got maybe the best response in Twitter history.
Legit question for rural Americans - How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
— William McNabb (@WillieMcNabb) August 4, 2019
Now in William NcNabb's defense, he wasn't the only brainiac trying to dispel this evil liberal narrative that guns are the problem. Nope, epic science dude Neil Degrasse Tyson was doing himself some solid thinking too.
In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) August 4, 2019
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
It's times like these when all Americans must come together and ask the tough questions, to put aside our differences and ask, "how are we supposed to kill 30-50 feral hogs running through our backyards without an AK-47?"
Hate when 30-50 feral hogs run into my yard as my kids play, forcing me to dual wield AR-15s as I mow them down https://t.co/NR1Pzi0TUx

What idiot called it “fighting 30-50 feral hogs” and not “serving in the Boar War”

The 47 in AK-47 stands for the number of feral hogs it kills per minute this is canon now.
