"Wow. My constituents are REALLY pissed at me. Ninety percent of them supported that gun background checks legislation that I voted against it. They are all coming out and asking difficult questions at my town meetings. Whatever shall I do? Maybe when it comes up for vote again, I should vote in favor...."

 "Stop right there, missy. We own you. You should just give yourself a slave name and be done with it. How do you like Kunta Kinte?

Wayne LaPierre, who earns $1.3 million a year as chief executive officer of the National Rifle Association.
