“​I’ve been away from my TV for a while, so can anyone tell me whether Wayne LaPierre has leaped to a microphone yet to explain that, if there only had been a .50-caliber machine gun or a Stinger missile mounted atop the camera when that guy exercised his Second Amendment rights in Roanoke this morning, the two murdered journalists still would be alive? C’mon, Wayne. It’s time for your now-monthly argumentum ad dementum about our country’s lunatic attachment to its firearms. A grateful nation awaits your wisdom.”

Charles P. Pierce, Esquire
