'No greater freedom'

Wayne LaPierre, who constantly figures out how to give hyperbole a bad name, out did himself Thursday.

Wayne LaPierre
The executive vice president and mouthpiece-in-chief of the National Rifle Association, speaking Thursday to a receptive audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference, took aim at his usual targets, politicians and the media. He found conspiracies behind every tree. He vowed the NRA "will not go quietly into the night."
But then ...
"In this uncertain world, surrounded by lies and corruption everywhere you look, there is no greater freedom than the right to survive and protect our families with all the rifles, shotguns and handguns we want," LaPierre opined.
Really? No greater freedom.
How about the freedom to get up and publicly say what you want, no matter how asinine? He certainly proved he had that right.
