[blogslut]

This is the first time I've heard him speak. What a mean little rat-faced man.

5. He was debating with Ed Rendell

When Rendell dared to say that there was indeed, a difference between semi-automatic weapons vs. single-action, LaPierre began gesticulating and ranting like a wee, red-faced child.

Then there was the blah blah blah about how the poor gun industry was a scapegoat for the violence and other hothead ramblings one normally hears from people who believe bullets equal character.

7. Rendell was wrong on the technical items

3. It's hard to think of the NRA as a macho organization when

it's spokesman has a name like "Wayne LaPierre".

4. LaPierre's purpose is to generate fear

so as to increase the market for guns and ammo. The market is saturated. The only way for manufacturers to continue making money is to ramp up this unreasonable fear of President Obama, taxes, communism and other manufactured boogie men.

6. BINGO! I find it hilarious that they are f*cking themselves by

doing this. Their stock piling is what is driving the prices up and they are to freaking stupid to see it.BTW isn't LaPrierre (OMG) French?

8. Just goes to show you how effective

propaganda is on certain types of people. I remember back in the mid-1990s my friend expressing deep fear that President Clinton was going to take his guns away. I guess it still hasn't dawned on these people that Clinton didn't take a single gun away from anyone.
