Hollywood stars were triggered by the looming midterm elections, President Trump (of course), and the online return of 3D-printed gun instructions.
Here’s a roundup of the most absurd celebrity social media meltdowns of the day. Enjoy!
Actress Sharon Stone, among other celebs, waxed poetic about the online return of 3D-printed gun instructions.
So let me get this straight, we’ve banned plastic straws, but we are releasing plans to make 3D plastic guns?

3D GUN UPDATE: today, @SenBillNelson took to the Senate floor to ask the Senate for “unanimous consent” to immediately take up and pass his legislation to block the online publication of blueprints used to make fully functioning 3D-printed guns. #NoRA (Thread) pic.twitter.com/hRucDATVTu

In an era of craziness, an absolutely insane thing to do would be to allow downloadable 3-D printed guns. Would allow ANYONE to legally download plans for an undetectable gun. Call Sec Pompeo @ State Department. Text OMG to 64433. When connected to State dept, press 4.

Oscar-winner Michael Moore offered his followers a candid history lesson (from 2008) about how Democrats didn’t want Barack Obama to use his full name for fear it would hurt his election odds.
I’m certain back in 08 Dem Party hacks begged Obama NOT to put “Hussein” on the ballot (he did). And u know one of them pleaded: “AND PLEASE — CAN’T WE JUST CALL YOU ‘BARRY’?!!” Haha. We live in a different America now. Ppl will vote for u Abdul because you’re the best candidate! https://t.co/UFJwtqk13x

Actress Patricia Arquette is blaming racism toward black people on … you guessed it, President Trump.
I have a black friend in New Orleans who says since Trump the outright racist comments she gets day in day out are relentless. She says this is a direct result of Trump. It is disgusting and infuriating. It is the worst of America.

This Is Us producer Ken Olin praised leftist NBC talker Andrew Mitchell one day after she compared President Trump to mass-murdering Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
Listening to all the tributes to @mitchellreports today. What a remarkable human being. For 40 years she’s courageously spoken truth to power. And now, even as Trump seeks to undermine our free press, she defiantly remains a shining testament to intelligence, class and integrity.
