What a bloody coward for Wayne LaPierre
to craw out from under his rock after the Gun Massacre at Newtown Connecticut
and give a Monologue – not a News Conference on a Friday before Christmas, a
dead media time cycle, dead like his soul!
Just another loud mouthed PR Bully Spokeperson whose product kills and kills and kills!
The blood of the victims of the Connecticut shooting is on LaPierre's hands. Of course, LaPierre didn't pull the trigger, but he's the NRA's hit man when it comes to intimidating elected officials.
Although LaPierre likes to portray the NRA as representing grassroots gun owners, the bulk of its money comes from gun manufacturers. LaPierre is a corporate lobbyist.
He doesn’t speak for most gun owners, a majority of whom favor stricter gun laws, according to surveys.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2011 there were 15,953 murders in the United States and 11,101 (30 a day) were caused by firearms. Suicides and unintentional shootings account for another 20,000 deaths by guns each year. Of course, many more people are injured—some seriously and permanently—by gun violence.
Most gun-related deaths are committed by people who purchase their weapons legally. Others purchase or steal them illegally, but their ability to get access to guns is due to our lax laws on gun ownership.
LaPierre's job is to make it easier for people to buy and use guns. And so far he's been very successful. Since the 1994 assault-weapon ban expired in 2004, Congress hasn't enacted any major gun regulations..
