Asa Hutchinson is a pos

He says he doesn't represent the NRA? Yet he was assigned to the NRA Task Force?

From WP 12/23/12

National Rifle Association consultant Asa Hutchinson said Sunday that gun control plays no role in solving the problems of mass shootings.

“Congress is going to debate this. I just think it’s not part of the ultimate solution on this,” said Hutchinson, a former congressman who is heading the NRA’s effort to install armed guards in schools.

NRA uses Asa Hutchinson to call for more guns in school
The National Rifle Association, with Arkansas Republican gubernatorial candidate Asa Hutchinson as front man for the gun lobby, has a Washington news conference at 10 a.m. to announce their suggestion for response to recent gun violence in school.

Influence Profile: NRA Spokesman Asa Hutchinson

Asa Hutchinson, the former Republican congressman who will be the face of the National Rifle Association's response to last week's schoolhouse massacre, received more than $30,000 in contributions from the gun lobby during more than a decade of running for state and federal office, data downloaded from Sunlight's Influence Explorer shows.

How much money did it take for the NRA to put this ex-prosecutor in their pocket?

Let's put guns in the schools! What could possibly go wrong?



Hutchinson's not concerned about safety -- his bought-&-paid-for interest is in making the NRA happy. Bringing in more guns will bring in more gun sales -- not a safe environment.

I was most impressed with his skillz. I do wonder why he walked into that ambush though, who talked him into that? I'll bet he is soooo pissed right now.
