Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association, plans to soon announce NRA’s next offensive in the struggle against gun control by running for Mayor of New York City.
“We gave this a lot of thought, and have decided the only way we’re going to stop MAIG once and for all is for your NRA to run New York City,” LaPierre said, to a private conference with gun friendly media and bloggers, “The only way to stop a bad guy in the Mayor’s office, is to put a good guy in the Mayor’s office!”
NRA plans to launch a multi-million dollar ad buy in New York to get ahead of potential rivals in the early stages of the campaign.
“We’re going to get out ahead of this thing. We expect our main rival to come at us hard, but we think this early ad campaign will soften him up,” LaPierre said of his likely rival, disgraced former Congressman Anthony Wiener, “by the time we head into the general election, we expect his campaign to be completely impotent.”
LaPierre noted the ad campaign will launch sometime in the next several weeks, after the press conference announcing the candidacy is finally scheduled.
Uh, let me check the date!! 04/01/2013.
Good one.
A bit *too* obvious there folks. :)
I would have thought that Wayne would have thrown his pope hat in the ring to be the next Pope.
Gawd, I hate April Fool’s Day. In this crazy world, NOTHING is too crazy to not be true.
What Charlie Foxtrot said.
I’ll confess; you had me for about 15 seconds there…
He faces stiff opposition…
Knew it was fake when the presser included gun bloggers. :-)
So on a more serious note, I’m all for WLP for head of the ATF as a sign of good faith.
Okay…
With all the weird things that happen in NY/NYC politics, this doesn’t look odd at all. Yes it’s April 1 but we’ve seen bigger jokes earlier this year. Still, I enjoyed it and it MIT just work…
I doubt he could get elected even if it were true, but God, what a great day it would be if he were to be NYC Mayor!
THAT would be worth seeing!
HA HA April fools
There are plenty of April Fools false news items that one says “That can’t be true!” but there are far too few that make one say “I wish it were true!”.
I saw the headline and scrambled to find a link to donate.
Jerk.
Well, such a contest should EXPOSE something about the candidates.
