I hate to say it, but Scarborough is right. LaPierre is the carnival barker

The people on the board of the NRA are the ones that need to be targeted because every time these events play out, they gain financially in a huge way. It's time to focus less on the intentional distraction of the barkers like him and Loesch and more on who they're speaking for, ala Huckabee Sanders speaking for Trump.

A lightning rod to distract the masses and excite the base into fear to buy more weapons - to enrich those behind him.

But every time their voices get the headline, or outrage, it's less time that the money men behind them get in the spotlight and still profit immensely.
