That Apply to Wayne LaPierre and the NRA1. " O)ur society is populated by an unknown number of genuine monsters people so deranged, so evil, so possessed by voices and driven by demons that no sane person can possibly ever comprehend them."
2. "How many more copycats are waiting in the wings for their moment of fame from a national media machine that rewards them with the wall-to-wall attention and sense of identity that they crave."
3. "There exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people."
4. "Isn't fantasizing about killing people as away to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?"
Yeah, that batshit insane, divorced-from-reality, humanity-debasing speech happened. If NRA members don't quit en masse, they deserve all the condemnation and scorn the sane majority can heap on them.

Saw that too, suspect it's NRA propaganda to deflect all the negative publicity . . .

Didn't see proof, so don't know if that is accurate or not. If true, it's sickening. Unless, by chance, they are joining up to try to change the NRA stance from within, but what are the chances of that?
