Wayne LaPierre, piece of human scum, crawled out from his rock to fearmonger and use the heinous tragedy of Orlando to SELL MORE GUNS.
This is LaPierre’s big contribution to This Life: making it such that more and more and more guns get sold and turning very shooting into a gun sale event.
In the wake of the massacre at Pulse night club in Orlando, National Rifle Association (NRA) Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre argued on Sunday that American families should arm themselves because terrorists were “on the verge of overwhelming us.”
LaPierre told CBS host John Dickerson that “we all mourn” for victims of the Orlando shooting, “but we face a terrorist challenge where they are on the verge of overwhelming us.”
Wayne is more than just full of shit: this is evil by any measurement.
1: The killer in Orlando was an American citizen, born and raised here, ate-up with this gun mentality and other backward nonsense which often accompanies those who eventually try to hurt a lot of other people with guns. LaPierre and the GOP are trying to conflate the AMERICAN murderer of 49 innocent people with terrorism across the water in far-away countries. it is wrong on many levels, beginning with simply being factually incorrect and building on that to make a completely bullshit ‘case’ that the murderer represents more than he represents.
2: They are “not on the verge of overwhelming us” if by them he means “terrorists from the Middle East”, which is what he wants you to think. We ARE, it appears, every day, closer and closer to even larger massacres because of the psychopathic paranoia Wayne spreads to certain personality sub-types who buy into this bullshit and feel the need to buy more and more and more guns. This is a large reason that a lot of gun owners own DOZENS of guns.
Only about 32-40% (depends on accounting and sources) of the US population own the roughly 300,000,000 guns in this country. And the people who go out and BUY MORE GUNS after these events do so because they BELIEVE these tragedies will “finally result in Obama a-comin’ fer muh gunz”
Obama Derangement Syndrome (ODS) is a significant part of the sales pitch:
The NRA chief argued that President Barack Obama and other Democratic lawmakers were trying to “divert” attention away from terrorism by pushing an assault weapons ban and other gun safety measures.
“You can’t save the country with politics,” LaPierre opined. “It’s all being politicized with a politically correct White House’s nose and fingers in areas they don’t belong.”
3: Wayne and all the other gun nuts have done EXACTLY NOTHING to use their “expertise” and knowledge of guns (since we will be lectured endlessly about how we can’t talk about gun control until we all agree on the names of obscure gun parts) to help reduce these events and to make the public space more safe. Not one goddamned thing.
There is no need to draw this out: Wayne LaPierre is directly related to the increase in shooting events in this country the same way Pablo Escobar and other drug dealing scum are responsible for heroin overdoses and such.
He is the Pusher Man.
