NRA speaker Rob Pincus is under heavy fire for remarks made at the National Rifle’s Association’s Annual Meeting last week when he suggested putting gun safes in kids’ bedrooms. The comments and video were picked up by The Huffington Post and The Blaze.

Rob spoke six times during the three-day event, with over 3,000 attendees in total.
