    In a speech at CPAC, Wayne LaPierre seemed to be saying that true Americans need a right to a lethal weapon in order to show that they can’t be intimidated by their political opponents.http://nyer.cm/wjRyQWC

        The parent in me is scared for my kids.the american in me is scared for my rights. I dont like guns, but i have served and used them. The problem are the local laws and lack of supervision, not just federal. Guns cant use themselves. Change starts at home. #VetsForGunReform

        Why does an annoying vocal minority get so much attention? Like the one loud kid in a classroom that wastes everyone else's time.

        No need to build a wall or restrictions immigration. A few more mass shooting and no one will want to visit, much less emigrate to, America.

        When people like LaPierre refer to “government tyranny”, they generally mean anyone who opposes their will, and pretty much ANY #Liberal elected to office. But somehow, when their party condones actual Nazis on our streets, the rest of us have no right to consider that tyranny.

        yup, thats pretty much it, founding fathers knew at some point we would need to fight off the federal government and the reason we havent gotten to that point is because we have the means to fight back,keeping them in check. Yet left (big government) wants to take for some reason
