I watched on television today as Wayne Lapierre went over a CNN news piece which occurred in 2003. You can see that piece here in this video:
https://youtu.be/oi4vVMj5fuQ
CNN had put together a rifle demonstration comparing "banned" rifles vs legal rifles. They showed the banned rifle firing through armored vests and cinder blocks. The legal rifle, fired right after the banned rifle, could not get through the vest or the cinder blocks. It was a purposeful demonstration created by CNN to demonstrate the banned rifles were far more destructive than the legal rifles. The truth is that both rifles could do equal damage to both the vest and the cinder blocks.
Wayne Lapierre called out the obviously bogus news piece as he describes here:

Another excellent example of fake news is the New York Times piece on the Tesla where a reporter deliberately tried to get the Tesla stuck as you can read here:

Its amazing the falsehoods the media is ready to spread at any given moment. I am happy that Wayne Lapierre is very aware and knowledgeable of this news environment. This news environment seems to have a desire to publish negative stories about firearms and Im happy that Wayne Lapierre called CNN out.
