NRA's LaPierre: Obama Will “Break The Back” Of 2nd Amendment In 2nd Term

National Rifle Association executive vice president Wayne LaPierre was mocked by progressives last month for claiming that there is a “massive Obama conspiracy” to “lull gun owners to sleep” by not taking any action on reducing gun violence in order to win re-election and then carry out his plot to eliminate the Second Amendment.

But LaPierre isn't letting being called “crazy” or “paranoid” stop him. He doubled down on his “insane” claims in an interview with Newsmax.TV last week.

LaPierre explained to Ashley Martella that gun owners need “to do everything they can to make sure that President Obama does not get a second term so that he can destroy the Second Amendment”:

LaPIERRE: Our job is to protect the Second Amendment and that means that every gun owner, every Second Amendment supporter needs to do everything they can to make sure that President Obama does not get a second term so that he can destroy the Second Amendment. And that's what's going to happen if he gets a second term.

And I want to leave no doubt about that. This is the most dangerous election in our lifetime for the Second Amendment freedom that American citizens have. A second term by President Obama will break the back of that freedom in this country.

When he last offered up this bizarre conspiracy theory, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow pointed out that, far from working to “destroy the Second Amendment,” Obama has actually been “saying very little and doing even less on gun laws,” with his most notable action on the issue being signing a bill that allows guns in national parks.

But LaPierre and the NRA aren't about to let reality get in the way of their conspiracies.
