The police officer who designed Warrior 12's "Gun Control" shirt has been getting backlash over the design.

Martinsburg, WV - A police officer who owns Warrior 12 Apparel has been the target of anti-gun voices after his latest design launched this week.

Warrior 12 makes law enforcement and patriotic apparel, including our Blue Lives Matter shirts.

The owner's newest design shows a rifle next to the words, "I'll control my guns, you control your kids." After the shirt launched, it was shared over 30,000 times in the first couple of days on social media.

"This is saying what everyone is thinking," one commenter said.

However, after the shirt launched, the officer says that he's been flooded with hate messages.

"I've been having people accuse me of being responsible for the school shootings, of having blood on my hands" he told Blue Lives Matter. "They are conflating a shirt about Constitutional rights and personal responsibility with horrific acts of mass murder."

Best T-shirt around. Too many lose the reality that the majority of these school shootings are done by current or ex students of that school. Maybe some student control needs to be demanded. These tide pod munching teenyboppers seem out of control.

.... “They are conflating a shirt about Constitutional rights and personal responsibility with horrific acts of mass murder...

Democrats and other liberals have a complete disconnect with reality. It’s a contagious mental illness.

There are always a small pool of near-suicidal kids that have not socialized well.

The reason we are having more rampage shootings is that the Media have decided to give them celebrity status.

In our current popular culture, celebrity is desired above all else. Fame is considered the ultimate good.

The Media promise suicidal kids fame if they manage to murder numerous others on the way out. It is known as the copycat effect. The Media is well aware of it.

They knowingly promote mass murder to advance their political agenda and to gain market share and profit.

Remember that leftists hate to see a successful conservative and when they hate something or someone, they will do all they can to destroy it. Why? Because it is a threat to their agenda.

That was a quick $100 spent, their blue lives matter shirt is simple, but one of the best I’ve seen, will go nicely with the “blue lives matter flag” bumper sticker next to my license plate.

Some people have as much problem with the 1st amendment as they do the 2nd. I like the T-Shirt, but not $25.
