“You look around here, and it’s a reflection of the support of the American public for the Second Amendment, this whole industry and the freedoms that we care about,” NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre at the SHOT Show.

However, he warns that the record-breaking support for the event must carry over into political participation: “2012 is probably the most dangerous election for the Second Amendment in our lifetime,” he says, “this year could break the back of the Second Amendment as an individual right in this country if we don’t work to save it.”

USA --(Ammoland.com)- “Wayne LaPierre Falsely Claims ‘All’ The NRA’s Money Comes From Small Donors,” Chris Brown of Media Matters sneers in triumph.

He’s focusing on an interview with Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre by Glenn Beck, where the association head was asked about how NRA could hope to match union political contributions. LaPierre’s response:

“We raise it all through 5, 10, 15, 20 dollar contributions that Americans are willing to preserve freedom. And they’re willing to support it. But, you know, that’s what NRA is about. I mean, I always say we’re about our membership and we’re about giving voice to our membership.”

GOTCHA, Brown would have us believe:

“LaPierre’s claim that the NRA’s fundraising is based exclusively on small dollar donations is false. The reality is that under LaPierre’s leadership, the NRA has built extensive financial ties to the gun industry and other corporations.”

The thing is, LaPierre wasn’t talking about “NRA fundraising” in general. He was clearly responding to a specific question about NRA political contributions.
