Please tell me, Wayne LaPierre, how that "bad guy" got the gun in the first place? Chances are they either obtained it online or without a background check or, in the case of Adam Lanza, they obtained it from a "good guy."
I'd be willing to bet that Nancy Lanza was, herself, a member of the NRA. I would have liked to have seen that coward LaPierre talk about THAT.
Like Michael Moore tweeted earlier this week. "If only the first victim, Adam Lanza's mother, had been a gun owner, she could have stopped this before it started.

(25,699 posts)You have to remember man, the Gun Cult is exactly that - a cult. It's a system of belief in magic and predestination that revolve around the holy, talismanic qualities of the gun.
The world is divided into three camps; Gun Owners, Thugs, and victims.
Every Gun Owner (don't forget to capitalize!) is a holy, good, virtuous person, blessed by Saint Heston to fight evil. Every gun they own is completely legal, well-kept, safely stored, and they never ever do anything bad with it. Those guns are all holy relics, imbued with the power to guard against evil just by their very presence in the home or on the person.
The Thugs - servants of Thuggarious - are never Gun Owners. Their weapons come out of thin air, conjured by Thuggarious himself - since every Gun Owner is completely responsible, it's impossible to steal their magical artifacts - or they were posing as Gun Owners. You see any Gun Owner who ever does anything wrong was never a "true" Gun Owner, but instead a Thug. "Thug" is, of course a geneticly predetermined state, often correlated to the amount of melanin - the mark of Ham, remember?! - in the thug's skin.
The third group, the victims, are essentially meaningless, and whatever happens is their own damn fault for not being part of the Gun Owner Elect. As we see from today's press conference, their main purpose is to provide bloody shirts for the Gun Owners to wave around and demand more people join them in their holy crusade.
"bad guy guns" aren't really guns, see? They're conjured of hellfire and hate, and not gunmetal! Just as thugs aren't really people, but instead demon-possessed subhumans. So there's never any need to examine guns - since guns are all good and holy - nor is there any need to do anything with "thugs" other than gun them down in the street and leave them to rot.
