He made many excellent points but the media will still paint the NRA as a bunch of gun nuts. I truly hope everyone who owns a gun belongs.

Brilliant speech? WL did more to jeopardize our 2nd Rights today than the shooter did a week ago. What a colossal blunder. LaPierre's arrogance knows no bounds. If our country is at the point where militarization of our schools is the solution then is our society truly free? I can't imagine any intelligent adult thinking the plan Wayne LaPierre put forth this morning is anything other than a preposterous farce.

This mentality is exactly why I have never joined the NRA and I never will.

And here we have the difference in ideology, WP made perfect sense for a solution to the obvious problem, and the radical left can't see it. Here we go again.

Jay what you said really turns my stomach without the NRA you should just leave those nice guns on the front door step to be picked up for garbage . This is the only group that actually is fighting for your right to keep them I dont see the media talking about anyone but them. If our President can be guarded by armed guards why cant my son ? I think I better stop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the thought of militarizing our schools doesn't turn everyone's stomach then our country is truly beyond hope. If we are at a point where the only defense against fellow citizens who would harm us with guns is to carry a gun are we truly free? Does that sound like the freedom those who wrote the Bill of Rights foresaw?

The WL did more to jeopardize our 2nd A rights yesterday than all of the mass shootings combined and we all had better be ready for the blow-back because it will come swiftly and the ONLY real power the NRA has comes through political threats and there are not going to be a lot of legislators who are going to roll over this time.
