Embattled National Rifle Association chief Wayne LaPierre feared for his safety after recent mass shootings, forcing him to take refuge aboard a friend's luxury yacht, he testified in a deposition connected to the NRA's bankruptcy case in Dallas. LaPierre, who was questioned about why he didn't pay for the yacht, claimed he was under the same level of threat faced by U.S. presidents and the vessel was the one place he was safe. "I remember getting there going, 'Thank God I'm safe,'" he said. |
