The National Rifle Association’s President said Friday that he saw nothing wrong with protesters comparing Gov. Cuomo to Adolf Hitler at an Albany demonstration against the governor’s sweeping new gun control law. 
David Keene, one of the featured speakers at Thursday’s rally outside the state Capitol, said the protesters were trying to demonstrate what happens when a government disarms its citizenry. 
“Folks that are cognizant of the history, not just in Germany but elsewhere, look back to the history and say we can’t let that sort of thing happen here,” Keene said during an Albany radio appearance.
This is stupid beyond words. What do you think?
