Former NRA President Tricked Into Giving Fake Commencement Speech by Anti-Gun Group

Former National Rifle Association president David Keene and author and gun rights advocate John Lott were both duped into giving graduation speeches to a field of more than 3,000 empty chairs in a stunt that was organized by anti-gun violence group Change the Ref.

Keene and Lott were invited to speak at the graduation of a fictional high school called James Madison Academy to film addresses for the fake Las Vegas high school’s 2021 class of graduates. Buzzfeed News reported that after filming their speeches, the two men were informed that the graduation had been “cancelled,” but weren’t told that the entire event was a sham.

“Ironically, had the men conducted a proper background check on the school, they would have seen that the school is fake,” a Change the Ref spokesperson told Buzzfeed.

Change the Ref put out 3,044 chairs on the lawn to symbolize the estimated count of students who should be graduating high school this year but instead lost their lives to gun violence.

The organization that gave Keene and Lott the runaround was created after Manuel and Patricia Oliver lost their son Joaquin “Guac” Oliver in the February 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 dead and 17 wounded.

Manuel Oliver told Buzzfeed that the stunt was designed to show people how the NRA and other gun advocacy groups operate. “These two guys are part of the problem,” Manuel told BuzzFeed News. “We need to call them out, we need to show everyone — this is how they process the logic behind the gun industry.”

The event took place June 4 but videos of Keene and Lott’s graduation speeches were posted online Wednesday. Both men were pretty upset at the stunt afterwards, and Keene told Buzzfeed reporters he genuinely didn’t see it coming. “You’re telling me the whole thing was a setup? No, I didn’t know that,” he said.

Lott also told Buzzfeed: “Unfortunately, the fact they lied to me many times is kind of illustrated by the way they edited and chopped up the video that’s there. Is that the way we want to have political debate in the country? Where people lie and creatively edit what people say?”

Keene doesn’t lead the NRA anymore; he served from 2011-2013 and the organization is now led by conservative activist Carolyn D. Meadows. After stepping down from his post at the NRA, Keene continues to advocate for more gun ownership and less firearm regulation across the U.S.

Patricia Mark McCloskey are white trash. Lott is also a fierce gun rights activist and his book “More Guns, Less Crime” advocates for the idea that if more people had firearms, the victims who are being assaulted or killed by guns could defend themselves if they too were armed.

This claim has long been touted by gun rights advocates as being a reason to deregulate the firearms industry and make guns more accessible to people. But it isn’t a good-faith argument based in fact. As the Scientific American found in a recent study, the opposite is true. More guns leads to more violence (including sexual violence) and, all too often, more accidental deaths from firearms.

The way Change the Ref’s videos are edited makes it clear that the event was a publicity stunt to raise awareness for the lives lost to gun violence, but that’s evidently something Keene and Lott didn’t pick up on until much later. Change the Ref said it created the event to honor a so-called “Lost Class” of high school students that should be graduating this year but are unable to after losing their lives to public shootings.

According to The New York Times, there have been at least 232 mass shootings in the U.S. as of May 26.

Keene didn’t hold back from advocating his position on gun rights, and was clearly unaware — or pretending to be undisturbed– by the obvious lack of students in the audience. In his address, he urged the (nonexistent) students to stand up for their Second Amendment rights.

“I’d be willing to bet that many of you will be among those who stand up and prevent those from proceeding. An overwhelming majority of you will go on to college, while others may decide their dream dictates a different route to success,” Keene said. “My advice to you is simple enough: follow your dream and make it a reality.”

Why do we never get an answer

When we're knocking at the door?

With a thousand million questions

About hate and death and war.

It's where we stop and look around us

There is nothing that we need.

In a world of persecution

That is burning in it's greed.

Why do we never get an answer

When we're knocking at the door?

Because the truth is hard to swallow

That's what the wall of love is for.

It's not the way that you say it

When you do those things to me.

It's more the way that you mean it

When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it

You won't believe it's true.

That all the love you've been giving

Has all been meant for you.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.

I'm looking for a miracle in my life.

And if you could see what it's done to me

To lose the the love I knew

Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains

And the crashing of the sea

There lies a land I once lived in

And she's waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning

My mind becomes confused

Between the dead and the sleeping

And the road that I must choose.

I'm looking for someone to change my life.

I'm looking for a miracle in my life.

And if you could see what it's done to me

To lose the the love I knew

Could safely lead me to

The land that I once knew.

To learn as we grow old

The secrets of our souls.

It's not the way that you say it

When you do those things to me.

It's more the way you really mean it

When you tell me what will be.

Why do we never get an answer

When we're knocking at the door?

With a thousand million questions

About hate and death and war.

It's where we stop and look around us

There is nothing that we need.

In a world of persecution

That is burning in it's greed.

Why do we never get an answer

When we're knocking at the door?

You got women you got women on your mind

well…….I DObut come to think of it, I'm guessing you guys never actually think about it

Why would you think about women, when you have no intention of ever securing a miracle in your life?

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal

If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel

ITS SOOOOOOO CREEPY HOW NONE OF YOU GUYS GETS ANY PUSSY !!!

I will go to work on 458 state.

I do enjoy the singing.

I will take that power.

Sing to me.

I do desire it.

It is beautiful to feel.

To feel that song.

To sense that pressure of song touch in my form; it is like hearing light.

To feel that hum and frequency is good.

That instrument will not help you like it does me.

Now, about that sudden failure of weapons, random boom booms, and those who heard it's thunderous call; not including my Cerberus and two-headed iron eagle (Putin must leave at some point and Russians do like a particular thing in red and black).

Red and black is certainly appealing; mayhaps I shall dress America in it, perhaps Russia next.

They are always changing.

I like to change them too.

Sometimes they suddenly change in a way I find very satisfying.

you've got no penis, my friend

DEAR KILLCEN : HERE YOU GO

>>242171

I am circumcised and have been told I have a very nice penis. And a good size at that. I don't own any gun, but I do believe that if every law abiding white male had a gun than there would be virtually no crime. Probably still rape and theft and stuff because humans are not perfect. But murder would go down because who knows if the other guy has a bigger gun or is a better shot.. But if we just chained niggers back up and kick those beans back over the wall, than we'd probably get back to a wonderful stable society again.

GUN ENTHUSIASTS :

insecure

I hate those obnoxious school shooting brats, David Hogg and that nasty little sawed off shaved head mexican cockroach girl….

I had ZERO RESPECT for them….

But I really must admit that I'm impressed with this project to parents of the child who died in the parkland shooting… this project cost a lot of money and had a lot of complicated logistics that needed to be handled… It was a stroke of good luck that the assholes from the NRA were too stupid to verify the existence of the high school before preparing a speech and showing up in Las Vegas

It's nothing short of hilarious how the two parents pulled the wall over the NRA's eyes

They even tricked the idiot into getting up and giving a "soundcheck dress rehearsal" of his speech, having him read his entire commencement speech from teleprompters, to over 3,000 empty chairs while they filmed the event with drones and tripod cameras

pretty fucking genius I must admit

ooops

I would imagine this isn't the first time you've described your penis to other men in image boards…
