He's selling a record number of guns and ammo. His board *will give him a hefty year end bonus in appreciation for his leadership to sustain and protect their interests.

* Heck of a lot of " former somebodies" on this board as well as owners/officers of manufacturers:

Jefferson owned slaves and cheated on his wife. (With at least one of the slaves, BTW.) Is he your role model for that as well?

Personally, I can see just fine. And what I'm seeing are a hell of a lot of dead children. In 1989 five kids were murdered in a schoolyard shooting in California. A 9-year old girl named Christina Taylor Green was murdered in the Gabby Giffords shooting in Tucson. The list of innocent, dead kids is way too long.

To say people can't see in front of their face or that somehow the entire country is having a knee-jerk reaction when kids have been getting shot and murdered in this country for decades is more than a little disingenuous.

Yup.......

And every time there is a mass shooting, the gun manufacturers and dealers, as well as the NRA, end up laughing all the way to the bank.
