NRA chief blasts Democrats, the FBI and the media after Florida massacre

In a defiant call to arms, the head of the National Rifle Association on Thursday railed about failures in mental health care and among the country?s law enforcement agencies in the deadly shooting at a Florida high school but said suggestions to limit guns in any way are ?completely ridiculous.?
?The whole idea from some of our opponents that armed security makes us less safe is completely ridiculous. If that?s true, armed security makes us less safe, let?s just go ahead and remove it from everywhere. Let?s remove it from the White House, from Capitol Hill, and remove it from all of Hollywood,? Wayne LaPierre told a cheering crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
?Evil walks among us and God help us if we don?t harden our schools and protect our kids,? he continued.
Speaking a week after a man walked into a Florida high school with an AR-15 and gunned down 17 students and staff, LaPierre called out Democrats and the media for not caring out the safety of America?s school children.
?The elites don?t care not one wit about America?s school system and school children. If they truly cared, what they would do is protect them,? he said. ?Their goal is to eliminate the Second Amendment, and our firearms freedoms.?
Calling out failures of the mental health care system and the FBI for not pursuing tips about the
Florida shooter?s violent tendencies, he said the media is exploiting tragedy for their own good.
?As usual, the opportunists wasted not one second to exploit tragedy for political gain,? LaPierre said. ?Think about that. In the midst of genuine grief, an innocent passion as millions of Americans search for meaningful solutions, what do we find??

Maybe Wayne LaPierre will lobby the government to attach a tax to gun sales so protecting schools comes out of the pockets of those who threaten school.
