Jeb mocked on social media after gun tweet

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is catching flak on Twitter after posting an image of a gun with just one word to go along with it — “America.” 

The former Florida governor did not explain why he posted the photo of the gun, which has “Gov. Jeb Bush” engraved on it, and the social media response was swift.
