Russian meddling, but to call it bold and sophisticated and to that that we now know index lee had an influence on the outcome of the election is absurd. Amy all that and more, coming up. Welcome to democracy now , democracynow. Org, the war and peace report. Im amy goodman. The head of the National Rifle association, or nra, Wayne Lapierre has broken his silence after last weeks Florida School shooting that left 17 people dead and sparked a studentled National Conversation on gun legislation. On thursday, lapierre attacked his opponents as communist sympathizers hellbent on undermining individual freedoms. The elites dont care, not one wit, about Americas School system and school children. If they truly cared, what they would do is they would protect them. For them, it is not a safety issue, it is a political issue. They care more about control and more of it. Their goal is to eliminate the Second Amendment. So theyfirearms freedom can eradicate all individual freedoms. Amy Wayne Lapi
