After dozens were killed at two mass school shootings in recent years, National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre said the ensuing public outrage put him in so much danger that he had to take shelter — specifically, on a friend's 108-foot yacht.

"I was basically under presidential threat without presidential security in terms of the number of threats I was getting," LaPierre said in a deposition filed during the weekend. "And this was the one place that I hope could feel safe, where I remember getting there going, 'Thank God I'm safe, nobody can get me here.'"
The deposition, which emerged as part of a closely watched bankruptcy hearing for the NRA in Dallas this week, noted that LaPierre had used the vessel for a "security retreat" multiple times between 2013 and 2018.

You literally couldn't make it up. Read the whole thing it is gold

Someone once told me the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a yacht is a good guy with a yacht

I reckon if The Poor (Tm) start buying yachts together they'll try and make the sales of yachts a lot trickier.

The only thing stopping a bad guy from hiding on a yacht is a good guy who won't let him on his yacht... or something. Sounded funnier in my head tbh

Yachts are great.

Yachts with panic rooms are great+

Yachts with escape pods that can fly you to Elon Musk's Billionaire Refugee Base on Mars are great+++

Whether you support the 2nd amendment or not, the NRA and LaPierre are garbage.

NRA is a white supremacist organization and Russian money laundering front that does nothing but fearmonger and fetishize American gun culture to such an absurd degree in order to preserve the profits of gun manufacturers. Garbage fucking org, I recommend Socialist Rifle Organization or Liberal Gun Club instead

"Maybe if I get on my yacht and go out to sea, people will forget who they're yelling at and just go away"

Remember when all those Sandy Hook victims could just run to their luxury boat for safety? Oh, wait. Privilege for me and none for thee.

It'd be screamingly funny to see the entire crew of the yacht abandon Wayne to man the entire craft alone.

After smashing the radio.

Or better yet, be part of the solution and don't own a gun.

Imagine if the constitution said "The right to bear arms and torpedoes". Would he still feel safe then?

It's actually not an assault yacht. It's a semi-auto yacht with a bumper that makes it operate like an assault yacht but totally legal.

I should be able to enjoy the irony of playing an integral part in flooding a populace with weapons, only to be forced to flee that populace later, but I can't.

We live in such a dumb and infuriating reality.

If this was a plot point on a scripted show, I'd say it was hack and without subtlety.

Guys, I think you're jumping the gun here. Nowhere does it say people threatened to shoot him. Just that they threatened him. Maybe they were threatening him with a lack of sea air.

Make yachts more affordable and accessible to the public, cowards. Remove the ridiculous docking fees and restrictions, the costly insurance that should just be inherent to the right to own the yacht, and allow me to drive my yacht into public buildings and crush the people with my yachtness so you can make more yacht sales.

People like him and those who support him shouldn't have such influence.
