NRATV is shutting down and its critics on Twitter are sending “thoughts and prayers.”

According to The New York Times, the NRA plans to announce on Wednesday that it will pull the plug on production at the network as it severs its relationship with the marketing firm, Ackerman McQueen, which runs NRATV.

Many of the network’s critics celebrated on Twitter after learning about its demise:
