Although sales a bit of guns have been booming this year -- they really boomed on Black Friday.
The FBI field at a 154000.
Background checks from Gandhi and -- -- prospective buyers 154000.
62% of those applications with the so called long the -- was.
A some of which will be called assault weapons.
While I asked -- north yesterday what exactly is an assault weapon -- -- that's.
That yeah this book because that's what people were afraid of yeah they're afraid of a ban on so called assault weapons it's unclear.
Semi automatic firearms that look a certain way something Clinton tried and then had to go back on.
All right semi automatic weapons that look -- -- way.
Wayne Lapierre is the executive vice president and our right -- good to have you back.
I'm not sure -- exactly understand walk is an assault weapon as defined by the don't control people can you tell me.
Well sure I made it I'll tell you what it is it's an invented term by the people that hate the Second Amendment in this country.
To confuse the American public coming a military uses the -- a lot of ways assault tactical teams.
Assault.
Tactics all this the anti gun movement simply.
Borrowed the term assault rifle and put it on civilian firearms.
None of what they say in terms these civilian firearms -- relates that term is true what is a private if I if I -- -- -- With.
-- that's you know issued so more than five bullets for example was not an assault weapon what -- what makes a long -- -- an assault weapon.
It is it is an anti gun invented term they say these five firearms which are civilian firearm spray bullets not true.
Weapons of war like our soldiers -- -- is not true.
More powerful not true heavy armored not true virtually everything you hear the media.
And the anti gun movement and politicians like Dianne Feinstein and President Obama say about this stuff.
It is simply not true if they're doing at the liberally it's a -- is and that's where the breakdown occurs I mean.
Gun owners.
They know the truth.
They may be a victim of these lies but they inherently know better and they are extremely frustrated.
By the politicians.
And a lot of the media that ought to know better that either do it intentionally or simply because they're part of a media machine that hates the Second Amendment they're trying to well trying to take away freedom of American -- On our second when because yesterday.
-- rentals was on the show.
He's the man who band Obama supporters from his -- still.
And -- Reynolds said President Obama is a genius and he played on the Second Amendment perfectly just listen to this -- -- think he's a genius I think that he's been very disciplined very patient and he's waited until his second term.
-- -- many of -- very much believe that he's going to implement.
More than just an assault weapons ban and all I have to say these people is there's -- latency.
By now I I think you'd agree with the us the wait and see you because you think I believe that President Obama will go after the Second Amendment.
And that's why we had a 154000.
Background checks one by -- -- Black Friday up.
Yeah pres Obama tried it.
-- the issue to elevate sent out literature -- a strong sported a Second Amendment not a that's true that they have the election.
He said he's gonna sign the UN treaty that the day after the election they started talking about -- anti gun agenda.
I expect -- full siege on the Second Amendment and the only way we're gonna withstand this is to make the NRA stronger than ever.
We're gonna face an unprecedented.
Blizzard of assault.
It's gonna come hard it's gonna come fast it's gonna come soon.
And never before appear freedom loving American has so much spent the edge of the precipice we hate -- way not be excellent commercial for the and all right way very nice and I thank you very much it is about freedom yet finding -- -- about it that I with the NRA doubts about policy against certain jets.
