The hypocrisy from LaPierre is just astounding. Watch the clip.

NRA's Wayne LaPierre Vs. Fox News' Chris Wallace - Business Insider

Quote:
LAPIERRE: The President's kids are safe, and we're all thankful for that.
WALLACE: They also face a threat that most people do not face.
LAPIERRE: Tell that to the people in Newtown! Tell that to the people in Newtown.
WALLACE: Do you really think that the President's children are the same kind of target as every schoolchild in America? I think that's ridiculous, and you know it, sir.
Quote:
The last contentious exchange came when Wallace disputed LaPierre's logic that only "elite, out of touch" politicians have armed protection next to them. Wallace pointed out that LaPierre also traveled with armed guards to his appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
"Does that make you an elite, and out-of-touch elite, because you have security?" Wallace said

LaPierre has perfected that "worried look" face. It helps promote gun culture and gun sales.

LaPierre needs to go away. He's not helping. He's changed his stance (on the record) so many times even the Libs have lost count. The best way to refute any stance he takes is simply to go back and find where he has taken the exact opposite stance in the past and use his own testimony against him.

Things NEED to change. If gun owners want to protect their right to own guns, they HAVE to take steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can't safely handle them. This means universal background checks, and it means removing state and federal hurdles which keeps the names of some mentally incompetent and dangerous individuals off the list.

Well, I'll say this......no presidents child has ever been murdered.

Thousands of ordinary Americans children have been.

Now the lefties will be praising Fox News?

Every? Does it have to be "every" for others to be under a threat? Does it have to be absolutely equally the same to allow others a similiar concern?

The health industry fights that. They have legitimate concerns also and those who support your 2nd amendment rights can not change that.

"Shall not be infringed."

The Feds have no authority in the matter.

I thought you fools didn't watch Fox (or as the illiterate spell it: FAUX).

I thought you fools thought everything on Fox was bogus.

I thought you fools thought everything on Fox was silly.

I'm sure glad you're seeing the light.

Question: but adding more guns is the solution?
