[quote=Anonymous]It seems that NRA CEO has moved fully over to the survivalist dark side.  As they put it on Morning Joe today, he's gone "Thelma and Louise all by himself," driving right off the cliff.

Wacky Wayne LaPierre on Wednesday adopted "a significantly more ominous and expansive line of reasoning than he has before in order to make the case that newer, more dangerous threats require Americans to buy more guns, join the NRA and organize opposition to gun control measures."

"Hurricanes. Tornadoes. Riots. Terrorists. Gangs. Lone criminals. These are perils we are sure to face -- not just maybe," LaPierre wrote in a commentary published by The Daily Caller, a conservative news site. "It's not paranoia to buy a gun. It's survival. It's responsible behavior, and it's time we encourage law-abiding Americans to do just that."   For good measure, LaPierre used racial imagery to conjure up threats "to Americans" from South Brooklyn after Hurricane Sandy to the southwest border.

And this:  'LaPierre is scheduled to give his formal response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Thursday at the National Wild Turkey Federation's annual show.

What an apt venue, since LaPierre has demonstrated that he is a wild turkey himself.  Hopefully the NRA's traditional allies in Congress will wake up to the fact that the NRA is being captained by a wacko who now traffics in racial rhetoric to oppose reasonable measures (e.g., closing background check loopholes) that LaPierre himself once supported.
