NRA Head Lashes Out At Gun Control Advocates, "They Hate Individual Freedom" [View all]
Source: The Guardian
Wayne LaPierre, head of the NRA, broke his silence this week after the Florida 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 fantasise 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."
LaPierre also hit out at the "breathless media" which he said was "eager to smear the NRA in the midst of genuine grief."
Elites want to "eliminate our firearms freedoms and eradicate all the individual freedoms," he said. "They hate the NRA, they hate the second amendment, they hate individual freedoms."
