The day after the funeral of Jovan Belcher, the NRA (National Rifle Association) decided that they couldn't stay quiet any more. So today, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre couldn't help but put his two cents worth in on the senseless killing of Kasandra Perkins, and in doing so showing his complete stupidity.
Mr. LaPierre was quoted as saying that the problem wasn't the fact that Belcher had a gun, but that Kasandra Perkins didn't have one. SAY WHAT? It was known through tweets that Belcher had 8 guns. Living together, does he really believe that she didn't know this? Doesn't he think that if she wanted to get one of the guns, she could have?
The real problem was that once, again, a gun that I would bet was bought to protect people in the residence was used in the killing of someone who lived at the residence. But this isn't the first time, or even a minority incident, of a gun being used to kill a person when it was bought to protect them. There were 8 guns that could be used by someone in that house. Does any sane person really believe that a ninth gun was needed, or that another gun would have averted this tragedy?
