Wayne LaPierre is a gun seller, nothing more.
WASHINGTON (CNN) Proposed universal background checks of firearms purchases won't stop gun violence, but would serve agendas of people "bent on destroying the Second Amendment," a top National Rifle Association official told a conservative political conference on Friday.

According to LaPierre, an arrogant political and media elite wants to subvert the bedrock right to freedom that he said made America better than other countries.
He repeatedly questioned the logic and even the sanity of President Barack Obama's administration and other advocates of new gun laws, and he implored supporters to "stand up and fight" now and in future elections to protect their right to own guns.

He doesn't give a crap if you have the right to have a gun. He cares that you buy early and often. People buy more when they're are scared so of course he is going to tell the gun nuts BUY BUY BUY the president is crazy.
What does he care if he sounds crazy if sales are up?
