Jeb Bush is bringing out the big guns in his push through South Carolina on the way to the state's primary.
Bush tweeted an image of his brand new, customized pistol on Tuesday with a simple message: "America."

He showed off his shiny new toy after visiting FN Manufacturing plant in Columbia, South Carolina, for a campaign event. Prior to that, Bush was not a gun owner.
Bush has been trailing in polls in the state, coming in at just 7 percent of Republican support. So Tuesday's visit was as good a time as any to exercise his Second Amendment Rights.
Of course, America was quick to offer some messages back to Bush...

Even Edward Snowden weighed in.

But at least one group was impressed. The National Rifle Association followed Bush's Twitter account just minutes after he sent the tweet.
