Mr. LaPierre is doing great work and is under a tremendous amount of pressure during these stressful times. However, I have seen him several times miss an opportunity to correct a myth, lie or misunderstanding spoken by an interviewer or someone with whom he is debating.

This morning Varney was talking to LaPierre about "universal background checks". In a moment of trying to clarify the issue Varney said some to the effect of you mean I can go into a gun show and purchase a gun without having my background checked? Not an exact quote. In my mind, that is a half-truth that leads to the exaggerated myth that there is this great gun show loophole that allows anyone to go purchase a gun at a gun show from anyone without having to submit to a background check. This just isn't so and I think it needs to be better addressed rather than moving on to talking about the other flaws in the NICS checking system. Here's the link to the video. Would like to hear your thoughts.

Even Varney mentioned at the very end that he doesn't think the our message is being clearly heard.
