Do you think Wayne won the debate?

Both did well, but I give LaPierre a slight edge based on what I think his tactics were. He did what he intended to do. Peters did well too, but she preached more to the choir.

Wayne did two things very well.

1. He tailored his message to the USA. Peters targetted her message more to England. If this debate wasn't going to be aired on PPV and was confined ONLY to England, that would be good, but England doesn't have to be convinced to sign(or not) this treaty. It's the USA, and Americans, through the senate and president. We're the 'swing vote'.

2. He got Peters and the gun grabbers to come out of hiding and debunk the "No one wants to take away your guns" myth. That's what he did best. The moderator there didn't want just talking points. He wanted speficics from both side, and LaPierre said what he IANSA's plan was. The moderator gave a follow-up question to Peters saying "Where would draw the line."

I'd say in England, Peters won. In the US, LaPierre won.
