Coming on the day after Hillary Clinton barked like a dog, and Donald Trump got busy discussing Antonin Scalia murder conspiracies, Jeb Bush must've decided he wanted some attention, too.

And so the former governor of Florida and presidents' son and brother tweeted a photo of a handgun engraved with his name along with the one-word caption "America."

Take a look.

Some say the politician was trying to be provocative. According to Business Insider, Bush , who is a strong backer of the Second Amendment, said just last week that if Hillary Clinton becomes president he believes the right to own firearms will be revoked.

And perhaps that was the point he was trying to make, although he has not elaborated as to the reason behind the tweet that was rapidly retweeted more than 13,000 times and gathered thousands of likes.

But no sooner did my U-T colleague Sandy Coronilla say, ”Hey Jeb Bush just tweeted a picture of a gun with the caption 'America,'” did the comments explode like, well, bullets onto the social media site.

And so it began as people took aim at the candidate and questioned his sanity.

Piers Morgan weighed in, asking, Are you XXXXing kidding me??????

So did Edward Snowden who advised him to “Delete your account.”

People said they were disgusted, disgruntled, disappointed and a host of other things that they were not shy about sharing.

But at the same time the Internet did what the Internet does best and memes - glorious, goofy, serious, silly, memes - quickly appeared.

Take a look at just some of the madness that ensued. Was this what Bush was aiming for? Only he can say.

Not everyone was a naysayer. In response to a Facebook post, a friend of mine and former radio colleague commented, "I saw that and I said, 'I'd vote for a guy with a custom gun and his name on it!'"

To borrow from a phrase made famous by President George W. Bush, "Mission Accomplished[!]"
