The NRA proclaims that one of its missions is to defend the Second Amendment but the underlying motivation isn't the Constitution, it is money.
Did you know that, for every gun or package of ammunition sold at participating stores, a dollar is donated to the NRA?
The NRA’s corporate fundraising division has several special retail partnerships called that allow for customers to contribute a dollar or two to the NRA at the point of purchase; others, like one with Sturm, Ruger & Co., require automatic contributions to the NRA with every purchase.
This year alone, Midway USA, an ammunition company, has given the NRA $1 million through the NRA Round Up program.
That would have just covered Wayne LaPierre's annual salary.
So, while children die, Wayne tells people that the government wants to take away their guns. His sole purpose is not to protect their rights but to inflame their fears so that they go out and buy more guns and contribute to his take-home pay.
Wayne LaPierre is the worst kind of hypocrite. His greed is paid for with the lives of American citizens.
A famous NRA bumper sticker reads, "I'll give you my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands."
It's time to tell Wayne LaPierre that, in his case, we're OK with that.
