    @AliVelshi Did you really expect anything else? He's the perfect example of people that should never own a gun.

    @AliVelshi Is this a presser? I thought it was a poorly given speech promoting more guns. Silly me...

    @AliVelshi not really a press conference because not taking questions-- sticking to his script regardless of interruptions

    @AliVelshi I'm in favor of gun control but violent games are part of the problem. I can't believe some of the games my friends' kids play.

    @AliVelshi Why is CNN International covering a US domestic tragedy and a local NRA press conference? I fail to see the int'l connection.

    @AliVelshi Then Ali why were we subjected to the NRA Press Conference on CNN Int'l when most Europeans don't know who the heck is the NRA.

    @AliVelshi Ali, I'm sitting in Madrid and was watching 30-45 minutes of Newtown, Conn. coverage from the CNN International Desk.

    @AliVelshi My follower may hate me but Mr. Lapierre may be right. These games desensicize young people like Lanza

    @AliVelshi #NRA is an interest group&naturally it's response is geared towards protecting that interest even against rational reasoning

    @AliVelshi He's just blaming everything else. Severe deflection. Trolling or insane, hard to gauge.
