NRA Executive Vice President Wayne La Pierre
The
basis for this posting is from
this story here ... and it's a keeper. It clearly shows a comparison
between NRA VP CEO La Pierre, his strong gun lobby, members of Congress in his
pocket (or in his wallet – take your pick), and those who worship guns at any
cost (some refer to them as gun nuts – probably a darn good label considering
their recent actions like in this article).
This is an introduction to that piece: A new video from
the National Rifle Association's (NRA) executive vice president Wayne LaPierre claims that President Obama “… has all the laws he needs to stop the bloodshed” of gun violence
in big cities but chooses not to because he supposedly refuses to enforce
federal gun laws.
In fact, the NRA has engaged in a decades-long
campaign to hinder the efforts of the federal law enforcement agency charged with
enforcing federal gun laws, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms (ATF) (I interject that the NRA probably considers the ATF a bigger threat
than ISIS – just my hunch).
For example, back on October 27, he
released this video and claimed, “Under the existing federal gun laws,
[Obama] could take every felon with a gun, drug dealer with a gun and criminal
gangbanger with a gun off the streets tomorrow and lock them up for five years
or more. But he won't do it, his Justice Department won't do it, and the media
never asks why.”
The video also featured LaPierre's continued apparent use of racially coded language by contrasting “thugs like De'Eris
Brown, criminal gangbangers with illegal guns in Chicago, and violent thugs
with the good, honest Americans living out in farm towns in Nebraska or
Oklahoma or working two jobs in inner-city Chicago or Baltimore.”
The video was introduced by LaPierre claiming “nothing
illustrates America's breakdown like the way the president's hometown
celebrates its holidays,” before describing Chicago shootings as a “kind of
third-world carnage.”
As
for me, I conclude: LaPierre’s pack of lies has had more influence than Herr
Doktor Joseph Goebbels ever had with The
Big Lie like “more guns means less killing.” Not like this, but it should
be like this
recent showdown in Oregon >>>
Thanks
for stopping by.
