NRA boss Wayne LaPierre addressed a raucous crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday. He said that his organization would continue to speak out in its defense of the Second Amendment. “The NRA will not only speak out, we will speak out louder and we will speak out stronger than ever before." LaPierre said it was his aim to make the message of the NRA more palatable. He expressed sadness for the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
