LaPierre and Bloombut on Meet the Press

Featured Replies

DVR it if you're interested. LaPierre and Bloombut are going to be on Meet the Press on Sunday morning @ 10:30 a.m.

Hopefully they go at it face to face, rather than interviewed separately. I want to hear Doomberg whining.......

Wayne will get his a$$ whipped right out of the gate. You cannot expect to go on "Meet the Press" and get anywhere near a fair shake. That show has been a diatribe for bleeding heart liberal agenda since its inception. I will watch but don't expect much if anything.

From the previews, it looks like separate interviews.

Why couldn't it be Bloomberg vs Colion Noir.

Exactly. Or even Larry Pratt. Wayne, even if given a fair shake, would probably lose to Bloomie's hysterics.

Ok. I'll admit. I'm a life member but tend to throw out the mail I get from NRA. Does anyone know if there's an election process for LaPierre's position? If so, rather than rubber stamping him in next election, I hope there will be a thoughtful process on who is best for this increasingly media-centered job.

Thanks for the alert. Setting my DVR.

 

BTW, anyone see LaPierre at CPAC? I thought he was great. Much warmer and more animated than at some of his recent press conferences and at the Congressional hearings. Really, though, we would do a lot better to have a young woman speaking for us at the NRA, someone like that lady whose parents were killed in the mass shooting at Luby's in Texas many years ago.

I thought LaPierre did a good job this morning. It's tough to use logic and reason against the emotion and hysteria of other side, but he delivered, IMO. Anyone else catch it?

I caught the tail end and I thought it was okay. The interview was pretty even sided and the host didn't seem too biased or aggressive. The key points that I saw were that

 

1) a AR15-type rifles are covered by the "in common use" part of Heller and

2) that the MSM should ask the Administration and why cities like Chicago rank dead last in enforcement of existing laws that would go after drug dealers gangs and felines with weapons.

 

The "panel" afterwards were a bunch of DB's. though eleven they gave him some credit for the above.

anyone got a link?

I thought Wayne did just fine. David Gregory seemed on decent behavior too with no "props" to wave around.

LaPierre did a good job. It just pizzed me off that bloomie kept going back to his imaginary 90% statistic of Americans, including NRA members who want universal background checks. It seems whenever he needs to quantify something, he either pulls the number out of his azz, relies on old data, or passes on a number he "heard" from someone else.

The mayor kept up with the 90% figure that his advisors told him about, which is probably based on a show of hands around their conference table. None of them probably consider anything outside of a 10 miles radius of Manhattahn to be the civilized world...

Watched the whole thing. Bloomberg was typical Bloomberg. I always get the picture of a little kid stomping his feet and throwing a tantrum when he talks. I thought Wayne did a pretty good job. One thing bothers me....the media always talks about the 'powerful NRA'. The NRA is only an organization. We, the members, give them the power to represent us. LaPierre touched on that when he said about people sending in checks. He needs to drive that point home.

The main thing I got from this discussion on this news show was that when Wayne LaPierre said there should be stricter enforcement of the existing laws, those on the panel afterwards said "isn't it ironic that the NRA is talking about more enforcement. "

When I first joined the NRA they were at least a decade into discussing how lax the enforcement of the federal laws were.

 

What was missed in this discussion is that the NRA has been talking about the lax enforcement of federal law for at least 20 years. And that, I think, is what most of the antis don't get. They do not understand that we are concerned that existing laws are not enforced by the government. They instead believe that the government is handcuffed by laws that have been prevented or enacted at the behest of the NRA.

 

Yes I agree it was a good interview for Wayne LaPierre at this time. But I still believe the points could've been hit harder.
