I don’t know if this has been covered elsewhere, but Mr. LaPierre has crawled back out from under his rock.

LaPierre proceeded to attack the gun control platform Obama announced last week, saying that universal background checks for gun purchases would impede heirlooms being handed down within families… “He wants to put every private, personal firearms transaction right under the thumb of the federal government,” LaPierre said. “He wants to keep all of those names in a massive federal registry. There’s only two reasons for a federal list on gun owners: to either tax ‘em or take ‘em. That’s the only reasons. And anyone who says that’s excessive, President Obama says that’s an absolutist.”

Insane assbag.
