   Video Leaks Of NRA’s Wayne LaPierre Missing His Mark On Elephant Hunt

   In the video, Susan LaPierre, the NRA leader’s wife, also kills an elephant; the footage shows that her marksmanship was more successful, with her guides saying the animal was killed with one shot.

   Wayne LaPierre’s portion of the footage shows him waiting for an elephant to walk past him as he stands alongside Makris and a guide.“Wait, wait, wait wait,” the guide says just before LaPierre fires at the elephant.The NRA chief was wearing earplugs. As he takes one of the plugs out, he asks, “We get him?”“Yes, he’s down,” the guide replies.But the elephant was still alive, lying wounded in the brush. As they approach the animal to kill it, the guide forces LaPierre’s rifle up into the air, saying there are other guides moving out from behind the elephant.“I’m going to point for you, where to shoot,” the guide says. Walking about five strides over to the injured elephant, he crouches and says, “Right there.”LaPierre fires but doesn’t hit the mark. The guide tells him to get down lower, to make the NRA leader’s firing position more stable and ensure the bullet hits its mark.“Same spot?” LaPierre asks. The guide replies, “Yeah.”After that third shot, the guide says, “I don’t think he’s quite done yet.” He then asks Makris, who also hosts the TV program Under Wild Skies, if he wants to finish off the elephant. Makris demurs.“What am I doing?” LaPierre asks.“I’m not sure where you’re shooting,” the guide says. Where are you telling me to shoot?" LaPierre asks.The guide then walks over to the elephant again and points to a spot at the elephant’s ear.“I can shoot there,” LaPierre says.Standing, the NRA leader raises his weapon again, looking through its large scope. The guide again tells him to kneel down, to improve the angle.As the camera zooms in on LaPierre, he fires at the elephant for the fourth time. Again, the animal was left alive, its labored breathing clearly audible.

   Steve Bannon made headlines for defying a subpoena regarding the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump. But Bannon, who once said that his goal is to “bring everything crashing down,” is more than a domestic problem.

   After the Brexiteers “won” the vote to leave the EU, Brexit leader Nigel Farage thanked Steve Bannon.

   When everyone has access to a gun, and a percentage of those are psychopaths, most undiagnosed, it should be no surprise what is going on in the country.

   “The NRA told everyone, ‘You either can do research, or you can keep your guns. But if you let the research go forward, you will all lose all your guns,’” said Dr. Mark Rosenberg, the former director the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. The NRA’s lobbying and passage of the “Dickey Amendment of 1996” prohibited the CDC from advocating for gun control.

    Everyone has access to guns. Every man, woman and child… everyone with a grievance… every paranoid, everyone suffering dementia, every alcoholic, every drug addict, everyone suffering manic depression, everyone has access to a gun….

    “U.S. civilians account for an estimated 393 million firearms, or about 120.5 firearms for every 100 U.S. residents.” WIKI

    We have reached critical mass.
