"This is the beginning of a serious conversation. We won't be taking any questions."

Edited to correctly attribute quote - From the transcript:

KEENE (president of the NRA): As I indicated at the outset, this is the beginning of a serious conversation. We won’t be taking questions today, but Andrew Arulanandam, our public affairs officer, is here.

1. Damndest thing I ever saw/heard. It was like they made this crud up about 10 minutes before.

Screw the NRA, and folks who support them but are too cheap to pay dues.

[Kelvin Mace]

2. Do you have a source?

I have got save that as proof that satire is dead as it can no longer compete with reality.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Ladies and gentlemen, your moment of zen.

I miss Jon Stewart.

[HockeyMom]

4. After the protesters were moved,

but the sound kept broadcasting, a reporter shouted out to LaPierre to comment on what the protesters were saying (NRA murderers, ban assault weapons). He frowned in DISGUST as the protesters were led away, refused to answer the reporter, and just kept reading from his script.

The media should be showing the footage of what actually happened, and not just "reporting" what happened. Seeing, and hearing, is believing.

5. Maybe we should start ...

by defining terms?

[Skittles]

6. COWARD!!!

[spanone]

7. the media should have walked out at that point.

as someone else said, at that point it became a commercial.

[rustydog]

8. The man who advocated more guns resulting in even more deaths

afraid of a vocal challenge. what a gutless, spineless piece of shit.

His only concern is to preserve the amount of money gooing to NRA and improving gun sales nation-wide. The deaths of these children are a concern because of the talk of gun control.

Damn, Helen Keller could have seen this response coming from LaPierre.

[tuvor]

9. "We will fix the gun problem with more guns." It's all so Monty Python-esque.

Except without the humour.

[99Forever]

10. That is a bully's idea of a "serious conversation."

There is no negotiating with this sort of psychopath. You either lock them up permanently or put them down.

[Care Acutely]

11. It fits doesn't it? If everything you say is greedy, damnable lie -

why bother with absolute self-contradictions?
