After a period of what NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre called "respectful silence," the gun organization finally held its big post-Sandy Hook massacre press conference today.

Our country glorifies violence, he said, and then he said something about us having "Splatterdays," which, I'm sorry but... I really can't tell you what that means.

La Pierre also called on Congress to put armed guards in every school in the United States, saying "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." Here are the full remarks, via PBS:
