This is good!
Wayne LaPierre and Matt Lauer for a couple minutes, then they bring in Joe "Lickspittle" Lockart to rebut.I taped it and will make some Real Audio files later today of it.
In a nutshell...Wayne decries the lack of prosecution under Clinton...he has the figures. Joe gets on and namecalls, then brags about some 200 new DOJ lawyers and 400-500 new ATF agents...sneeringly brings up Wayne's 'jack-booted thugs' comment of a few years ago; then says that under Clinton prosecutions are up 16% even though crime is down.
Wayne says the NRA wants absolute zero tolerance on people using guns to commit crime...drug dealers, gangbangers, robbers and challenges Joe to agree and institute it....Joe ducks it and namecalls again. A few minutes later, Wayne issues the challenge again, pointing out that Joe didn't even address it earlier. Again Joe ducked it
To a rational, thinking, objective person (pro-gun or not) watching...Wayne was the winner hands down. He had command of facts, stayed on topic. Joe was a smarmy, sneering POS all over the map...pure emotionalism.
Wayne did not back down. They were big and solid brass
