Oh wow the Wayne LaPierre elephant hunting video leaked.
The video is referenced in litigation but has never been seen before -- it shows Wayne and his wife killing two elephants in Botswana.

One thing you notice from the video is how panicked and incompetent Wayne LaPierre seems with a firearm despite some 40 years with the NRA.
After several attempts at killing an apparently wounded elephant at near-point blank range, Wayne LaPierre continually misses the target his guide is directing him towards.
His friend had to take the final shot.

The Susan LaPierre portion of the video is much more like an execution.
A defenseless elephant stands there cluelessly. Suddenly, the elephant is shot between the eyes, and instantly collapses.

Wayne's wife Susan LaPierre bursts into laughter after killing the elephant, and says, "that was amazing... my heart is just racing, I feel great!"
Susan LaPierre then cuts the tail off the dead elephant, holds it up, and says, 'Victory!"
