Video shows NRA head Wayne LaPierre struggling to kill wounded elephant. Seeing various "spins" on this all over the press. Not sure yet what the fallout will be.

Almost wonder how much is factual or staged news media?Video shows NRA head Wayne LaPierre struggling to kill wounded elephant. Seeing various "spins" on this all over the press. Not sure yet what the fallout will be.
- It's the NY Post. That paper isn't even dignified enough to line my cat box.
Where's my vomit choice in the "like" button selection list?What is disturbing and/or unintentionally hilarious is other outlets had far more over the top spin.
BTW. One of the co-founders of the NRA was a NY Times reporter. His reasoning was the Union Soldiers got out shot during the 'Mostly Peaceful' Civil Altercation Between the States, and northern folks needed trained up.

- Two shots on a >8,000 lb critter is struggling? Watching the recoil, he sure ain't shooting a 416 Rigby or 500NE. Must be *just* a 378 Weatherby....
- Bunny huggers will hug, hating on hunters will continue.
- If they dig deep enough, I'm sure the former editors of the New Yorker had African trophies in their home libraries.
In 2013, elephants in that area were not on the endangered list, but the headlines are shouting that he was hunting an endangered animal.
You sure? Thought he was trying to shoot an elephant and not a jackarsePersonally speaking…. It's all a metaphor symbolizing WLP's warning to a certain political party who's mascot is the beast in question.
Looks like a Blaser R8 rifle to my eye.Tangentially, can anyone identify the rifle employed by the blonde woman? I know I have seen that make/model before, but I'm experiencing a brain-fart, and my dated reference book on safari arms is at my other office. (Thinking is made by Blaser. Just curious.)
