In a spectacle that officials at the National Press Club said they had never seen before, the NRA gunmen directed some photographers not to take pictures, ordered reporters out of the lobby when NRA officials passed and inspected reporters' briefcases before granting them access to the news conference.

The NRA deploys its muscle at the National Press Club: Dana Milbank | OregonLive.com

At the National Press Club??? Where the **** does the NRA get off ordering people around at the National Press Club? I mean my God I knew these guys were coddled and basically allowed to do whatever they want but I thought that was just by the Republicans who worship them. This is the National Press Club remember, not NRA headquarters. Why weren't they told to go to ****ing hell? Why didn't the real guards, the National Press Club security, escort them from the premises? Am I missing something here or does the National Press Club need to get some balls?

Perhaps if the NRA weren't a wing of the American Taliban, they wouldn't need armed guards when their operatives give speeches.

Rather paraniod group the NRA, they had almost as many people with concealed carry than there were reporters, but you can never be too careful that National Press Club is a tough bunch.

I call this BS. Rachel Maddow is a left wing activist trying to cloak her drivel as journalism.
