So, what exactly were those “meaningful contributions” to make certain events like those at

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

Sandy Hook never happen again that the NRA promised?

I ask seriously, because I did not hear Wayne LaPierre's entire heinous publicity stunt scoldathon. Surely they aren't trying to pass off their "Everyone Who is to Blame and Notice We're Not on It" list and their craven call for more fucking guns as "meaningful contributions," are they?

1. He did make one meaningful contribution...

He made a speech so vile that it is likely to cause the NRA to lose some supporters, creating a weaker NRA is a meaningful contribution. Thank you Wayne LaPierre for shooting yourself in the foot.

4. Great point. That would be some cool karma.

2. Admitting that they were arming mass-murderers

would have opened them to billions in civil lawsuits. The "meaningful contribution" is that he did not do that. If anybody had the idea that "meaningfull contribution" meant something somehow beneficial to society, well, more fool you.

Guys like Wayne LaPierre make me miss Hitler.

5. I guess that goes double for monetary contributions to a Sandy Hook victim's fund. So, he offered

nothing?

3. In case there was any doubt ...

Sandy Hook is just part of the cost of free guns!
