Jesse Hughes posted a series of criticisms against those protesting gun violence in the March For Our Lives event in the US over the weekend.

The Eagles of Death Metal frontman ranted against the students leading the protest who have called for increased gun regulation, and posted several memes and images including one which equated gun regulation to a man cutting his penis off to prevent rape.

"The Whitney Houston song about letting the children lead the way wasn't actually had operating paradigm for life," he wrote beneath the cartoon. "And when the truth don't line up with your bulls**t narrative just hold your breath and stamp your feet and refused to except [sic] it... then take multiple days off of school playing hooky at the expense of 16 of your classmates blood...!... it might be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and disgusting...

"As the survivor of a mass shooting I can tell you from first-hand experience that all of you protesting and taking days off from school insult the memory of those who were killed and abuse and insult me and every other lover of liberty by your every action," he continued.

"Long Live Rock'n' Roll.... and may everyone of these disgusting vile abusers of the dead live as long as possible so they can have the maximum amount of time to endure their shame... and be Cursed...."

In another posting Hughes shared a photoshopped image of student protester Emma Gonzalez tearing up a copy of the US Constitution (the original photo showed her ripping a gun range target) which was manipulated and spread among right wing groups.

Of Gonzalez he wrote: “Behold……the Awful Face Of Treason…..survivor of Nothing….Lover of Treason…..enjoy your little moment…..it’s about to End…… #stupidity #hatersofliberty #loversofsatan #borntolose #2ndamendment.”

He later deleted three out of four of his posts, but screengrabs can be viewed via Consequence of Sound.
