26. NRA - Wayne LaPierre BAD CON JOB

His sales pictch was so bad he wasn't even open to answering questions!

He and his sidekicks answer to protecting schools, is to make each and every school, a military compound/Alamo. Thus the need to take taxpayer funds to purchase guns, train guards, etc., etc., all to be managed by the NRA and thus upping the income of Wayne LaPierre.

Citizens are fighting to keep them from closing schools in Tucson due to the budget shortfall. Yet we are asked for more taxes to cover contracting protection of schools by the NRA????

I was sickened by his continued attacks on the mentally ill, calling them terrorists. Wayne LaPierre has never held a job that entailed him to actually work, but has prospered very well on the ignorance of others and as spokesman for the gun industry. If he is not available to respond to questioning of his motives today during his "Press Conference," why would anyone think he would be available or responsive to his management of any school protections.
