This guy seems to be more focused on increased gun sales than on gun safety. Wonder who pays him more — the gun industry or NRA members? In either case, it’s way too much.

Rubbish. He’s making a TON of money for the gun industry. The man is a hero and worth every cent we pay him.

La Pierre makes over $ 1 million a year, so even Boehner would tax him, but not “regulate” him.
BTW toward the end of my tour in ’Nam, when back at base camp, they locked up all our rifles at night because there had been to many “accidental”, or “unregulated” discharges of firearms by idiots and crazies. Even the Army, in a COMBAT ZONE recognized the need to regulate firearms, and btw, our magazines were far smaller in capacity than those available to “civilians” today.
La Pierre supports the crazies, but himself is “crazy as a fox”, and has the income to prove it.

When I look into his eyes I see madness. He hides it with a business-suit, but he can’t hide his eyes and the arteries protruding from his neck when he talks. I BET he has a semi-auto and large-caliber magazines in his arsenal…

La Pierre looks a little waxy.
He should consult with his mortician.

That’s funny Trout, I seem to remember a 30 round magazine as “standard” and I had 6 of them puppies with me and more in my ruck sack along with a few grenades.
And I NEVER had my weapon locked up cause I might need it don’cha know. But then did you ever go out on patrol or were you in base camp all the time?

that’s right, just how we’re supposed to: right against the left, atheists against believers, straights against gays, usaborn against immigrants: just how they like us. divided & conquered, consume consume. like Jr. Bush after 9/11 – get out there and shop till you drop. and the Newtown Christmas, black bunting all the way to the gun store.

^don’t forget you can show your support for the troops by putting a magnetic yellow ribbon on your gas guzzling SUV while voting against veteransw benefits. That’s patriotism!
