From AlterNet: Wayne LaPierre's solution to all the gun deaths and mass shootings is way more gun deaths and mass shootings

Editor's note: America is already exceptional for per capita gun ownership and the number of gun deaths we tally daily. (We're also exceptional for our poor-but-expensive health care and education systems, including our growing ignorance of math and science compared to the rest of the developed world. But who's counting?)

 

But 30,000 gun deaths per year are just not enough for Wayne LaPierre. He wants more more more more. More guns, blood, and death. More life-changing maimings. More traumatized survivors. More torn-apart families. The new normal isn't normal enough for him. He won't be happy until every man, woman, child, and sperm has a gun in each hand 24/7. And even then, he'll want to sell us more guns. Maybe he'll start branching out to designer colors or something.

 

So now LaPierre has put out a new gun-mongering commercial...just in time for Christmas. Perfect time of year to give the gift of DEATH to your friends and loved ones.

 

That's right, boys 'n' girls--we won't all be safe until we're all constantly in deadly danger.

 

He won't be satisfied until every American except him has been shot dead. Then, I guess, he'll go sell his guns to the Chinese since there are so many of them. Wonder how well that will go over with the peace-loving, non-violent Buddhists over there....

 

I don't need Mr. LaPierre to tell me about "demons at our door." They've already announced themselves loud and clear: Wayne LaPierre, the NRA, and the Republicans who let them run the country.    

NRA’s New Fearmongering Ad Campaign Equates American Exceptionalism to More Guns

In the wake of Colorado Springs and San Bernardino, the NRA warns of "demons at our doors" to promote membership.

In the wake of the San Bernardino shooting on Wednesday, the second high-profile attack in less than a week, the usual cycle of debate over gun laws has included an increased scrutiny of the NRA’s political spending and now the gun lobbying group is using its moment back in the spotlight to tout America’s exceptionally horrid history of gun violence to promote the NRA. Shocker.

The ninth installment in the NRA’s “Freedom’s Safest Place” campaign features the group’s leader, Wayne LaPierre and is titled, “Demons At Our Door.” The ad was released just days after 56-year-old Robert Dear entered a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood and shot 12 people, killing three, and days before this latest shooting rampage in San Bernardino. In it, La Pierre makes specific reference to “the age of terror” and goes on to fear-monger over the threat of terror and violence to promote the NRA. The ad is currently running prominently on Fox News.

“Innocents like us,” LaPierre says, addressing his NRA members directly to camera, “will continue to be slaughtered in concert halls, sports stadiums, restaurants and airplanes.”

Innocents like you? Excuse me, a-hole--you ain't no phuquen' innocent. You have BLOOD on your filthy hands!

“They will come to where we worship,” LaPierre warns as ominous music waves over blurred images of American everyday life, “where we educate and where we live.”

Yes, they'll come to places where you worship your GUNS--the altar at which you sacrifice the lives of everyone else. Except that they won't because YOU are the terrorists. YOU are the mass shooters.

“But when evil knocks on our doors, Americans have a power no other people on the planet share,” LaPierre proudly proclaims, touting the Second Amendment. “Let fate decide if mercy is offered to the demons at our door.”

Watch La Pierre fear-monger over terror to equate American exceptionalism with an individual right to bear arms:
