This clip of the interview has been in wide circulation, and in it, Chris Wallace is not just tough on LaPierre and his talking points, but also lets LaPierre just hang from the rhetorical noose he creates. Interesting that this is from FOX News -- especially since Rupert Murdoch has been on Twitter actively dissing US gun laws and attitudes to guns. This video is approx. 10 minutes long:

Another day and another shooting -- this time at the Empire State Building where it looks right now several people have been shot -- at least one killed -- by someone who was fired by a firm in the building a year or so ago. The NYPD appears to have shot and killed the shooter.
