New York Times: ‘Americans have become used to hearing nutty talk from

leaders of the National Rifle Association. But Sunday’s

outrageous assertion by the group’s executive vice president,

Wayne LaPierre, that President Clinton is “willing to accept a

certain level of killing to further his political agenda”

deserves special condemnation.

Mr. LaPierre made his sick suggestion that the president

relishes having gun tragedies to exploit in an interview on

ABC’s “This Week.” He was there to push the N.R.A.’s

demonstrably false line that the nation already has enough

gun laws on the books if only the administration would

enforce them.’
