Quote: NRA's Wayne LaPierre's Stunning Bullshit Rant

Wayne LaPierre: We hope he's praying, but probably not.

“No one seriously believed the N.R.A. when it said it would contribute something “meaningful” to the discussion about gun violence. The organization’s very existence is predicated on the nation being torn in half over guns. Still, we were stunned by Mr. [Wayne]LaPierre’s mendacious, delusional, almost deranged rant.

“Mr. LaPierre [a Roanoke native] looked wild-eyed at times as he said the killing was the fault of the media, songwriters and singers and the people who listen to them, movie and TV scriptwriters and the people who watch their work, advocates of gun control, video game makers and video game players.”
