The National Rifle Association boss Wayne LaPierre warned “gun-hating politicians” that his group could end their political careers and also blasted the media for “glorifying” mass shooters.
During NRA’s annual convention on Saturday, Mr LaPierre said that “gun-hating politicians should never go to bed unafraid of what this association and all of our millions of members can do to their political careers”.
During the event in Indianapolis, his comments received a loud cheer from the audience.
He added: “I am speechless that the American media can’t be bothered to glorify the Second Amendment, but they sure glorify mass shooters. Enough is enough.”
“I’m offended when DA’s don’t do their job, when prosecutors say dropping charges is the right thing to do, cash bail is wrong, violent felonies are to be ignored, but criminals, they’re not to be punished. They’re to be understood. Give me a break,” he stated.
“If a deranged nutcase wants to commit suicide in a blaze of demonic glory, that’s a complete media blackout. They never existed. Never say their name. Never show their face or their picture and for God’s sake, don’t publish a manifesto. Don’t give the devil himself a nanosecond of notoriety,” Mr LaPierre added.
The NRA’s annual convention started on Friday and former president Donald Trump spoke at the event too. He told NRA it “better” endorse him in the 2024 presidential race. And warned “or they’ll have some explaining to do. No, I do believe we’re in pretty good shape.”
Meanwhile, South Dakota governor and potential 2024 presidential candidate Kristi Noem told the crowd at the NRA event that her nearly two-year-old granddaughter “already” has a shotgun and a rifle.
“I want to reassure you,” she said.

When did he grow a pair?
That stated, I’ll believe it when I see it (action, that is).
So, when exactly does that happen...?
The media will continue to glorify mass shooters because they want to take away the 2nd amendment.
They must need to fill the coffers again, then it’ll be crickets once more...
Don't threaten it by TALKING about it.. just DO IT!
Good, now let’s do it NRA...
Probably right.
Just send more money. Wayne needs few more suits to get the job done.
Exactly. We have sent the NRA millions, and the leadership has lined their pockets. They know that if we secure the 2nd ammendment the money dries up. They have a perverse incentive to never win, and perpetuate a stalemate
Remember Cincinnati in 1977? It is time
Where are today’s Harlan Carter and Neal Knox?
