Why Is It We Haven't Heard Much From Wayne LaPierre And The NRA Lately?....

It seems odd that they have been so silent about the recent gun related tragedies.

Is it just that they let their minion Repugs do the dirty work for them or what?

..then, as if xmas came early for LaPierre..San Bernadino!.Weapon sales are surpassing all expectations the NRA could ever dream of, or "make happen".
La Pierre can barely keep up.

Its the sick truth of the NRA.

2. It is actually smart. Nothing he says will help his cause but could hurt it.

Unlike reasonable, decent Americans who want to own guns for whatever reason, Wayne's motivation is greed.

He and the gun mfgs that pay him dont care about dead Americans or dead gun owners.

4. LaPierre is stone deaf to all but his gun toting clientele and gun manufacturers.

Nothing he could say could hurt his case. Fortunately, there have been so many gun slaughters lately that he doesn't even have to read the script -- we have it memorized.

stand up for gun loving lunacy, and then the nra comes out and same their old bullshit:

1. let's not be emotional (except if there is a threat to control guns in any way)
2. more guns would have been better (except when people get caught in the crossfire)
3. it's everyone's right to have guns, guns, guns


carson, the soft spoken moron, has introduced a new take. He seems to enjoy seeing bullet ridden bodies because it reminds him the 2nd amendment is alive and well. let's let that lunacy sink in. it represents republican thinking and those who really love their guns.

7. Why? His message of "monsters among us" has been widely accepted

By which he and everyone else means persons with unspecified mental disorders

It's become the accepted meme to address mass shootings, adopted by both political parties and the media.

The blame is -off- guns. That's exactly how Mr LaPierre likes it.
