NRA likens universal checks to gun registry

WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association’s executive vice president continued to oppose background checks for all gun purchases despite polls indicating that most NRA members don’t share his position.

The NRA’s Wayne LaPierre said on ‘‘Fox News Sunday’’ that background checks for all gun purchases would lead to a national registry of gun owners. Critics say such a registry could lead to taxes on guns or to confiscation.

People as paranoid as Wayne LaPierre are suffering from mental illness. I consider him a potentially dangerous man.

Says the un-degreed Who-Cares, but has diagnosed LaPierre via Television.  What talent!

Who-Cares:  You posted in another comment section:

"Mental illness is very difficult to diagnose and most never is"

But here you are claiming you can do it via television, wow!

LaPierre is the kind of guy that makes you uncomfortable to know he has a gun.

He might make YOU uncomfortable, but he does not make ME uncomfortable, so speak for yourself, Salem.

Markey, ever the professional politician, getting as much political capitol from a tragedy as possible.

That is right, ignore the actual arguments, condemn the man with the typical anti gun character assasinations.

Dianne Feinstein is a raving loon, all one has to do is see that gleam in her eye at the thought of confiscating weapons, has the same look in her eye that Adolf had.

Piers Morgan, another lunatic, but an imported one with a British accent.  Also wanted for crimes committed in his country of origin, good thing for him our constitution is protecting him.
