Isn't it a bit early to be asking your diehard base of conspiracy theorists to be panicking about the
next election, LaPierre? At least wait a few weeks until they've
restocked their underwear drawers.
During a November 6 appearance on the NRA's radio show Cam & Company, LaPierre wasted no time turning to 2016, stating, "We've won the first half here of the game, but we won't win the battle until we win all the game and 2016 is a big deal."
"I mean if we end up with an anti-Second Amendment president in 2016, I mean all we've worked for in the last 30 years or our freedom since the founding of the country could be in jeopardy," LaPierre added.
As it turns out, every single election is the most importantest election ever. After demanding their members vote Republican in 2014 in order to
save 'Merica from EbolaIsis, I'm not sure where LaPierre thinks he can go from there. Will 2016 feature rhetoric from the NRA about the coming Martian menace? Will the government be accused of stockpiling camouflaged pants so that good decent Americans can't get any?
LaPierre regularly adds new menaces to his list of things that will doom America but none of the old ones ever seem to fall off the list (LaPierre is among the ten Americans still alive who still believe your family is facing an existential crisis from "the knockout game")—I think we're all eager to see what he comes up with.
