The son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., sells clothes mocking Alec Baldwin’s accidental shooting on his website.

The T-shirts featured the tagline “Guns don’t kill people, Alec Baldwin kills people,” in a spoof of a pro-Second Amendment trope that guns themselves are harmless. Baldwin has been an advocate for gun regulations.

Alec Baldwin accidentally fired a live round from a prop gun, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza, on the set of the film “Rust” last week. The investigation involving the incident is ongoing and the culprit in the incident remains unclear. Baldwin expressed remorse for the incident, saying his “heart was broken” in a Twitter statement.

Baldwin was celebrated for his impersonation of former U.S. President Donald Trump on NBC’s comedy sketch show “Saturday Night Live,” which garnered public outrage at Trump and his eldest sons Donald Jr. and Eric.

Last week he posted “Let’s all watch Alec Baldwin blame the gun” with the caption, “It’s only a matter of time” on his Instagram. He also posted a meme that exclaimed “That look when an anti-gun nut kills more people with a gun than your extensive firearm collection ever has.” Donald Jr. has picked up his social media activity since his father was banned from Facebook and Twitter last January amid claims he encouraged his followers to raid the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6th. He has 5.2 million followers on Instagram, where he is most active, and typically posts politically conservative and generally offensive meme-based content.
