PGA Golfer Deletes Misunderstood 2nd Amendment Tweet on Texas Terrorist Attack

A professional golfer says his tweet on the foiled terrorist attack in Garland, Texas, has been misunderstood.

“If you feel the need to mock Muhammad in a cartoon, just realize that Muslims may decide to exercise their #2A rights on you #truth #WWJD,” Bob Estes wrote on Twitter. The awkwardly-worded tweet left readers believing the golfer sought to make a point against the First and Second Amendments. The golfer deleted the tweet soon after posting it.

Most people that I’ve chatted with on Twitter now understand what I was trying to say. Others just refuse to. Their choice.

Two Muslims opened fire yesterday on a contest held in suburban Dallas that awarded a $10,000 first prize to cartoons depicting Muhammad. The terrorists shot a guard before a policeman killed them.

Many people commenting on here actually think I’m anti-1A and anti-2A. That’s SO far from true! My Followers are laughing. :) — Bob Estes (@BobEstesPGA) May 4, 2015

I wonder how many of the attendees at the event in Garland last night were armed.(?) ALL of them should’ve been. #truth
