A BBC reporter was roasted on Twitter after appearing to unintentionally post a photo of some BB guns at a Walmart in the U.S., bemoaning that while he couldn’t buy a United Kingdom adapter, he could buy “a rifle and ammunition.”

“Hi from America. Where Walmart doesn’t have a plug adapter for my UK laptop. But on the other hand, I can buy a rifle and ammunition,” BBC journalist Pádraig Belton posted on Twitter on Tuesday.

Media personalities, journalists and more were quick to joke about the tweet. Many alluded to “A Christmas Story” and the infamous line from the popular movie, “you’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”

Jerry Dunleavy, a reporter for the Washington Examiner, responded to Belton’s tweet with the well-known phrase.

Federalist co-founder Sean Davis pointed to the price of the BB guns and asked, “Did you actually think you could buy a real gun for $28?” – READ MORE
