LaPierre: The elites dont care one wit about school children..."

In his CPAC address Wayne LaPierre said, "The elites don’t care one wit about school children. If they truly cared, they would protect them.”

What does he want us to do...follow our children around and jump in front of any maniac with a gun? I don't see his sorry ass lining up to take a bullet for them. In fact his CPAC speech had to be scheduled secretively and Dana Loesch had to hire private security, all to protect them from those "fake" protesters.

when he says that the elites don't care a lick about schoolchildren. He's among the elite.

as another strategy to rile up and dupe the base. This is esp. ironic since LaPierre & Co. are the personification of 'Elites.'

When he says protection, he means surround them with more firepower.

He is a sick individual and gets paid handsomely for infecting others with his illness.

They know their final days are at hand. The old bigoted white guys are dying off. America is getting browner. Today's teens will soon be voting. I'm 71 and hope I live long enough to see another non-white in the WH.

YOU ARE THE FUCKING ELITE IN THE COUNTRY WAYNE!!!!! Being educated or being liberal does not make you elite, wanting stricter gun laws doesn’t make you elite, but having boatloads of money and influence DOES make you elite. Fuck you wayne, for constantly enabling this gun culture with your fucked up fear mongering.

12. And the NRA just wants more money...it's not about caring for kids safety

Working with Trump to sell the idea that what is need are more guns in schools. There is only one thing this will achieve: that is instilling a false sense that guns are the key to safety, thereby nurturing and raising the next 50,000,000 future gun purchasers
