Pratt: Democrats Push Gun Control Because 'They're Afraid Of Getting Shot And They Ought To Be!'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 9/22/2014 11:46 am

Larry Pratt, president of Gun Owners of America, recently appeared on Gordon Klingenschmitt's "Pray In Jesus Name" program where he declared that Democratic lawmakers are rightly afraid of being shot by gun owners because "that’s what the Second Amendment is all about."

1. This is the very definition of terrorism

2. Well gunners have the right spokespersons

If I owned a gun and I do, I would never claim this guy speaks for me.
Of course my gun is a little .22 and is locked up so maybe I don't qualify as a true gunner.

6. I own a lot more than just a little .22* and GOA is below my contempt

They've always been around as the (even more) lunatic fringe of the NRA; it's disheartening to say the least to see them gaining more and more traction over the last few years. I realize they're flush with success but they need to realize if anything's going to cause "the backlash" it's going to be spewing shit like this.

* - all stored in safes, in a locked storage unit, behind a locked gate, in a state where they're all legal.

7. I wish more intellegent gun owners were in the

media. There needs to be a real understanding on both sides of this issue.

9. It's such a polarized debate, it can be very difficult.

I'm not 100% on board with either side, so I'm not welcomed by either side. Of course, I think a lot of it is the more enthusiastic, extreme, single-issue people who are involved in the discussion; I suspect the broader consensus is much more centrist but also much quieter.

4. So much wrong with this story on so many levels.

First off Gordon Klingenschmitt is certifiably insane, that's a fact. Second, why is the head of "Gun Owners Of America" going on a show called "Pray In Jesus' Name"? Did I miss that part of the Bible? I certainly don't remember Jesus telling his disciples to shoot first and ask questions later.

5. Pat Robertson did say "Blessed are the well-armed."

Yup. He did say that.

8. Dost thou feeleth lucky? Dost thou, punk?

[shenmue]

10. Whenever I see Gordon's name

over at Right Wing Watch, I know my eyebrows are going to get a good workout. "Huh, he said what?"

11. He has this truly bizarre hatred for the LGBT community.

I very rarely make the Nazi comparison but if this guy is given even an ounce of power, be afraid. Be very very afraid.
