a great comentator. he and joe biden (bin laden) have been elevated to national hero status by jumping on the disarm america band wagon.
here is what americans dont know but the people of the mideast do know.
the police and army are not here to protect you, they are here to control you.
they stopped working for you a long time ago.
The real question is why are liberals making a big todo about this assault weapons ban in the first place. We did this before and the FBI says that without question it did nothing to curb gun violence.
Why then are these liberals making such a fuss to reinstitute a law that does NOTHING that they claim they want to law for while at the same time taking guns away from millions of law abiding Americans who have never broken the law, nor shall ever do so?
The anti gun crowd has sold more guns to people that wouldn't ordinarily purchase them than La Pierre will ever be able to sell. His arguements, while I will agree, may be a bit over the top, are sound if put into the proper context. Remember the L.A. riots? How about the violence that took place after Katrina? Scoff at the man all you want and roll your eyes but he has some solid points that you are taking out of context.
He does make some very good points which the crazies were quick to pounce on. One, about cities and states going broke and police being too expensive. Camden NJ comes to mind. Then he was also very much correct in his bringing up the lack of police response during natural disasters... Sandy and kKatrina. And I did just watch The Morning Joe where Scarborough and the rest of the goof troop nitpicked him for not being a cheerleader for a bright sunny future America. That show REEKS, even for MSNBC. So it does make a whole lot of sense to be prepared to protect yourself if the situation call for it.
If the left lambasts him like that, you know he must have a point and is uncomfortably on soild ground. Yeah, he was a little over the top and was maybe channeling Charlton Heston, but again, he made a very cogent argument none the less. Certainly Scarborough and the others failed to present an intelligent disagreement.
I'm not a member of the NRA and have disagreed with Lapierre's no compromise stance in the past, but he's head and shoulders above Obama on this issue. You have to have somebody willing to stand up to the dolt in the White House.
More danger from cops in New Orleans after Katrina. Is this who Wayne says we need to defend against?

Context? The only context is that LePew is a front man for the arms manufacturers.
"LaPierre called federal employees "jack-booted thugs" and claimed that they were “wearing Nazi bucket helmets and black storm trooper uniforms to attack law-abiding citizens.”
On the movie Red Dawn: "LaPierre saw a possible future, saying there “was nothing unrealistic in that dramatization” of Cubans seizing our guns. “It can happen here,” he warned".
LePew also milked the Katrina disaster: "So today, LaPierre isn’t spending so much time warning of an overweening, tyrannical federal government; he is more interested in social collapse. The shift can be dated to late 2005, specifically the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In the 1990s, LaPierre had noted the role “armed citizens played in stabilizing a community against the crime and looting that followed in the wake of Hurricane Andrew that same year.”
Then it was unrest: "After Katrina, the “fear of social collapse” argument moved to center stage. A pamphlet invoked Katrina to warn that you can be “reduced to the final and purest form of self-reliance in the face of terrifying anarchy.”
Now suddenly it's not the government, but lack of government: “Gun owners are not buying firearms because they anticipate a confrontation with the government. Rather, we anticipate confrontations where the government isn’t there—or simply doesn’t show up in time.” Forget totalitarianism. Now we need to fear total anarchy".
The guy is a salesman, evoking every "enemy of safety and decency" he can come up with - except, so far, "Obama's secret army". He's thinking about it - stay tuned.
