A Union general in the Civil War, George Wood Wingate was disturbed by the inadequate skills of the Northern soldiers, feeling they lacked discipline and were poor marksmen.

He's willing to put more money to fight the gun lobby.

The NY Times wrote, "We were stunned by Mr. LaPierre’s mendacious, delusional, almost deranged rant."

"Instead of offering solutions to a problem they have helped create, they offered a paranoid, dystopian vision of a more dangerous and violent America where everyone is armed and no place is safe."

One NRA supporter wrote, "Why aren't cars banned? These people that think guns are the problem and the NRA is a terrible thing have zero logic."

"The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again."

With $217,400 in donations since 2003, the National Rifle Association has shelled out more cash in the last decade to legislators in New York than in any other state.
