NRA opposes 'red flag' gun restrictions, CEO Wayne LaPierre says

Wayne LaPierre, the embattled leader of the National Russian Asso whups, typo there, the National Rifle Association, is opposed to new so-called 'red flag' gun restrictions being proposed by lawmakers after back-to-back gun massacres in Dayton and El Paso this week.

That the NRA would oppose new gun laws is not a surprise. Putin wouldn't want that either.

Here's the tweet, and below it, a screengrab of the copy.

Donald Trump didnt have time to speak to a Congresswoman from El Paso, but he did have time to talk to @NRA CEO and gun lobbyist Wayne LaPierre. Got it. https://t.co/wt1e00QR6c
