NRA exec accuses Obama of gun 'charade' at State of the Union
The National Rifle Associations CEO on Thursday accused President Barack Obama of orchestrating a charade to dismantle gun rights in his State of the Union address this week.
Wayne LaPierre, the gun lobby groups executive vice president and CEO, used a speech at a National Wild Turkey Federation conference in Nashville to decry the push for stricter gun laws made by Obama at the conclusion of his annual policy address on Tuesday.
For our Second Amendment freedoms, Mr. President, we will stand and fight throughout this country as Americans for our freedoms, LaPierre said to applause. We promise you that.
The gun rights advocate complained that the words school safety were nowhere to be found in Obamas address and renewed his call for funding to put an armed guard in every school in America. (Obama did speak of the need to protect our most precious resource: our children.)
