The National Rifle Association’s Wayne LaPierre said that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg looked like a “giddy school girl” when she hugged President Barack Obama during a CPAC speech in which LaPierre called the 2012 election the most dangerous in our nation’s history.

“This election is all in. All of our freedom. All of our rights. And that means all of you,” LaPierre said. “Stand up and let them hear you over at the White House.”

LaPierre again floated the theory that the Obama adminisration hasn’t done anything to restrict gun rights because he’s simply waiting for a second term.

“I’ve got news for all you reporters, you can call me crazy, but the media wouldn’t win this election, gun owners will,” LaPierre said. “We see the President’s strategy crystal clear: get reelected, and with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms freedom, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the U.S. Constitution.”
