President of the nra. we just saw a clip of him. among the lies he told, he casually referred to the president of the united states as a fake president. what does he mean by that and what else should we know about this new president of the nra? >> the new president of the national rifle association, lawrence, is a man named james porter, attorney from alabama. he is somebody whose father was a president of the nra back in 1959 and 60. that was a time when the national rifle association in fact s...

Of unhinged, but mr. weisser is in good company. my dad was a lifetime member of the nra, a marksman most of his life, owns multiple guns, he resigned his membership recently as well. i dont think theyll be alone. the average nra member sees whats going on in houston and rhetoric is getting further away from what a normal person wants out of gun ownership, which is to be a responsible gun owner. they dont look responsible any more. i look forward to another organization coming forward and also h...

Guns and make it a, quote, culture war, which i think is part of a strategy, something the nra does often when it feels like the gun issue may not be saleable, try to broaden the message. this time there may be too much focus on them and they may face troubles. >> you mention in your letter to wayne lapierre that gun sales are what his mission is all about, and you say in 2011 ruger stock was trading at $21 a share. now it is at 51. smith and wesson was 3 bucks a share, today it is almost $9 a s...

Sorts of things in far less numbers, but no one, going to repeat this, no one was ordered to stay in their homes, but that lie, that lie will live. ron paul will continue to tell that lie, the nra will continue to tell that lie because they thrive on the notion theres looming some police state that is coming to control them, so much so that they have to be ready with their second amendment rights to revolt and fight against that police state. we will have more about the lies told about the lies ...

Everyone other than police officers, can get any kind of gun and ammunition they want any time they want it. in fact, the nras mission is to make sure citizens can outgun police officers, make sure we all have access to even more lethal weapons than police officers can use and afford. the psychotic vision of an armed uprising against our government, the uprising that 44% of republicans think might have to happen soon is an uprising against police officers. police officers are the first people th...

>> you mention in your letter to wayne lapierre that gun sales are what his mission is all about, and you say in 2011 ruger stock was trading at $21 a share. now it is at 51. smith and wesson was 3 bucks a share, today it is almost $9 a share. what happened in that period of time to push this share price of these gun makers up like that? >> well, those prices really started going up not so much in 2011 but really once the president was reelected. once president obama was reelected, and the nra o...

Minutes on the back of a napkin before i speak. >> the motto was stand and fight. >> the theme of the convention, stand and fight. >> words like battle, war. >> us against them. >> and stand and fight. >> we must remain vigilant. >> fear mongers. >> they dont get it because they dont get america. >> a cultural war the nra would like to wage. >> nothing new with the nra. >> absolutely nothing. >> doubling down on out of touch rhetoric. >> the nra needs to make president obama into a villain. >> p...

[ applause ] boston proves it. when brave law enforcement officers did their jobs in that city, so courageously, good guys with guns stopped terrorists with guns. >> he uses boston as a device to get him to the punch line, good guys with guns stopped terrorists with guns. and he blurs it there because the proverbial nra good guy with a gun is a citizen with a gun, not a police officer. there is no debate in this country. theres no debate in the united states senate about police officers having g...

Bombers were. but wayne lapierre could still ask his reality challenged audience how many bostonians wished they had a gun two weeks ago. wayne doesnt care about or even know the facts of the boston case, so he probably doesnt know that the first person that the bombers encountered after the bombing had a gun. that was m.i.t. police officer sean collier. he was assassinated by tamerlan tsarnaev. he never had a chance to use his gun. wayne lapierre did not lead a moment of silence for sean collie...

Officer. >> that was the governor asking people to stay in their homes, asking them to. then after he did that, the boston police commissioner stepped up to the very same microphone and said this. >> mayor menino asked me to come here and tell that you the shelter in place recommendation has been extended throughout the city of boston. >> recommendation. it was a recommendation. it was not an order. but this is the lie that the nra will tell forever, that people were ordered to stay in their hom...
