Скачать или смотреть NRA: 'Many in Legacy Media Love Mass Shootings'

(22 Feb 2018) Leaders of the National Rifle Association offered a vigorous defense of gun rights during the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday.
"Many in legacy media love mass shootings, you guys love it," said NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch. "Now I'm not saying that you love the tragedy, but I am saying that you love the ratings. Crying white mothers are ratings gold."
Loesch spoke before NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre, who insisted the solution to gun violence was to harden security at schools.
The NRA officials didn't address whether the federal government should raise the age limit for young adults to buy weapons, accusing Democrats and media outlets of exploiting the Florida shooting.
A day earlier, the NRA announced it opposes raising the age limit.
The current federal minimum age for buying or possessing handguns is 21, but the limit is 18 for rifles including assault-type weapons such as the AR-15 used by a former student in last week's attack in Florida that killed 17 students and staff members.
