NRA’s LaPierre shoots down ideas on gun control in Sunday interview

The National Rifle Association’s Wayne LaPierre, in a Sunday interview on MSNBC’s Meet the Press, shot down any idea that his organization would support new gun controls, and blasted proposed legislation being introduced in Congress by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and others that would ban assault weapons.

LaPierre told MSNBC’s David Gregory that arming schools is “the one thing that we can do immediately” to curb and prevent future violence.

LaPierre also said that reducing ammunition capacity won’t help stop the attacks or prevent future shootings.

Feinstein has said recently that “I’m going to introduce in the Senate and the same bill will be introduced in the House, a bill to ban assault weapons.

Congress is likely to look at the matter in the near future, and President Barack Obama has already reacted to a petition signed by thousands of Americans seeking new gun control laws and laid out how his administration will pursue methods to prevent future attacks.
