NRA's Wayne Lapierre: Stupid And Nervous

The NRA's CEO (Chief Evil Obfuscator) Wayne Lapierre is in full-panic mode, which makes him reflexively spew his own patented brand of fog and circular logic.  At the moment, he's all panties-in-a-bunch about the possibility of proposed "universal background checks".

Wayne says any such checks would be a waste of time, "dishonest" and a "myth", because they wouldn't be truly universal -- meaning some people could still evade or avoid a background check.  According to Wayne, the mass killers of Tucson, Aurora and Newtown would be "unrecognizable" by any background check system.

Pretty sure Wayne is wrong about that, but anyway, let's roll with his half-baked point:  He says that because there is a possibility that some bad actors could escape detection, we should not bother trying to detect any of them.

Really?

As always, Wayne Lapierre is a special kind of stupid.

And right now, Wayne is also of nervous about NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his PAC, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which has begun to run pro-background check ads in certain markets.  Bloomberg is a very wealthy man willing to spend very large amounts of his own money to fight the NRA's campaign of lies.  It's about time somebody did.  And the best response the NRA can muster is to denigrate his money ("Pot, meet kettle.") and try to equate his anti-Big Gulp policy to his gun control efforts.  Sorry, but soda and Sig-Sauer are apples and oranges. 

The NRA doesn't give a shit if people die slowly from high-fructose corn syrup, or instantly from a couple AR-15 rounds.  Just as long as the living morons keep buying more guns and ammo.



Please share your thoughts with your elected representatives and ask them to fully support common-sense gun legislation and reform.
