Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J., said he was stunned by LaPierre's (of the NRA) comments.

"It is beyond belief that following the Newtown tragedy, the National Rifle Association's leaders want to fill our communities with guns and arm more Americans," he said in a statement.
"The NRA points the finger of blame everywhere and anywhere it can, but they cannot escape the devastating effects of their reckless comments and irresponsible lobbying tactics. The NRA leadership is wildly out of touch with its own members, responsible gun owners, and the American public who want to close dangerous loopholes and enact common-sense gun safety reform."




Oh yeah -- that's why guns sales are probably UP three or four hundred percent SINCE the Newtown massacre. My guess is that people that never thought of owning a gun have been out buying them.

We can say what we want -- but there's article after article about the meteoric RISE in guns sales.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing whether that's dumb or not -- I'm just laughing at the fact that so many responsible gun owners are upset with the NRA -- while they're busy feeling that way - they're standing in line at the gun store!
