The NRA never wants to help. The NRA\u2019s not interested in stopping violence. The NRA, they will not lift a finger to stop this incessant killing. For as long as I\u2019ve been alive, that is the Democrat talking point about the NRA. So LaPierre is on, he\u2019s being asked about this by Cokie Roberts, and here\u2019s what he said.<\/p>\n<p>LAPIERRE: I\u2019ve come to believe he needs a certain level of violence in this country. He\u2019s willing to accept a certain level of killing to further his political agenda. And the vice president too. I mean, how much can you explain this dishonesty we get out of the administration?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s 2000. That was in March of 2000, the end of the Clinton era, and that is one heck of a charge. But in reality, it\u2019s no different than the charge that the Democrats level against the NRA all the time. And like the media tried to peddle a story, the NRA trained this Cruz kid as a marksman at the school when the NRA wasn\u2019t even there when this happened.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-265030\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021918-Wayne-LaPierre.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021918-Wayne-LaPierre.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021918-Wayne-LaPierre-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>&#8220;I\u2019ve come to believe President Clinton needs a certain level of violence in this country.
