NRA: We Didn't Nix Diana

Over at Urban Elephants, NRA head Wayne LaPierre, speaking at a Young Republicans gala dinner over the weekend, was asked directly about this, and answered.

Follow the link for Mr. LaPierre's speculation on how it happened.

I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. LaPierre speak at a convention one time. Like many populists he mixes the reasonable with the fantastic in a delicious cocktail best swallowed with light thinking. By the end of his speech he was on to the Black Helicopters and the World Government. He started with going hunting with his family for food.
