The executive vice president of the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Sunday criticized the Democratic push for gun control laws in the wake of the deadly Orlando nightclub attack.

"What we're doing with this debate on the Hill right now, it's like they're trying to stop a freight train with a piece of Kleenex," Wayne LaPierre said on CBS's "Face The Nation."

He’s right..it is not the laws, we have a ton on the books now, not stopping gun crime, you can buy a handgun on a street corner in America for five hundred dollars...seen it done in downtown Salt Lake City just last month...

The NRA is our best defense against Obama, the Clintstones and any other anti-American factions.

Over 6000 people died yesterday. And another 6000+ died on Friday, and Thursday...and EVERY DAY so far this year.

But somehow when a radical Muslims lights up a gay club and kills 50 people DEMs feel entitled to attack our right to bear arms and essentially attack our right to self defense.

Let me repeat that the Virginia Tech shooter, Cho, killed 33 and injured 23 others all with two handguns, one a .22lr and the other a 9mm, neither of which had magazines greater than 15 rounds. Both guns bought legally. No AR15’s either.

We have got to get Trump into the Oval Office...

We need to keep our Constitution and Bill of Rights...

No one else is going to take care of American and the American People...everybody from the Representatives, Senators and all through our Government is for New World Order, and that includes taking our Second Amendment rights away...

I relate this to what God said to Israel, he gave them their land, it’s theirs, it belongs to no one else, but yet every country is trying to take Israel away, the same thing with our second amendment...

Sad to say despite all the advances in medicine, the death rate remains at a mind boggling 100%. Anyway, I’m kinda befuddled that the nra would agress with the watch list denial thing to any degree whatsoever. Due process? Guess we don’t need that do we?

P.S. 200 thousand from “medical ‘misadventures’”?

Thank you Don for that graph...it helps when we can see actual figures, the government won’t show stuff like this because then we can figure out what they are hiding from us...

Also I thought a lot of you would like to read this:

To paraphrase Gene Hackman’s character in Unforgiven, “it ain’t easy to shoot a man, when they are shooting back.”
