WASHINGTON The head of the National Rifle Association Sunday wouldnt commit to a new law banning bump stocks in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre.
There are monsters like this monster out there every day, the CEO of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre told CBSs Face the Nation. There are menaces out there every day. People want to be able to protect themselves.
LaPierre blamed the elites who protect themselves with armed security for trying to politicize the deadliest mass shooting in American history. Stephen Paddock sprayed bullets from his Las Vegas hotel room into a country music concert, killing 58 people and wounding 500 others.
LaPierre, who had earned $5.1 million in total compensation in 2015 as the head of the NRA, also travels with armed body guards.
