NRA head lashes out at gun control advocates: 'They hate individual freedom'

Wayne LaPierre, the head of the NRA, broke his silence a week after the Florida school shooting with an unrepentant defence of gun rights and an aggressive attack on political elites who “hate individual freedom”.

LaPierre used his address to the conservative conference CPAC to hit out at anti-gun campaigners, who, led by young survivors of the shooting, have attempted to make political headway in the last week.

“They fantasize about more laws stopping what other laws have failed to stop,” the National Rifle Association executive vice-president said. “So many existing laws were ignored.”

He added: “They don’t care if their laws work or not. They just want to get more laws to get more control over people. But the NRA, the NRA does care.”

Hey asshole, this country was founded on the individual collective for all, not by a minority, but by a majority, you are in the minority.
And has for smearing---------------your a enabler of Russian money.............you have blood on your hands here and over in Russia, when a fucking psychopathic asshole has agents throwing people out of buildings and poisoning human beings, that don't agree with his fucking little man policies, just like the fucking orange hair asshole using a cheat sheet to remind himself to have empathy....................

with freedom, also comes responsibility, which the NRA never seems to talk about much.

Which isn't too surprising, considering you have never engaged or talked with a massacre survivor, so you don't know what they think. Since you seem to think that the NRA "cares" about anything but money from gun manufacturers, the Russians, and your beknighted membership, you can barely articulate what you yourself think. Please refrain from trying to figure out what other people think; you're not very good at it, and you're just embarrassing yourself.

Oh, and if you're still in the dark about it, let me make it very clear: Go fuck yourself, Wayne LaPierre.

Reminds of a former friend during the Bush43 years. His opening line was “Why do you hate America?”

Just picking a fight to amuse his redneck friends.

He had no desire to converse.

loved ones and watching the survivors deal with the pain and heartache that never fully goes away. We hate that schoolchildren are traumatized because everyday, in many somewhere's there is another drill, another teacher and another school full of students are left wondering is a drill? Is it real?

Why do these people think that the one so-called right they love can destroy everyone of our other rights in the time it takes a bullet to rip through or bodies? I feel despair every time I hear one this ammosexuals.
