Gun lobbyist Larry Pratt has proposed a Second Amendment solution for lawmakers with whom he disagrees, and now he wants gun owners to train their sights on President Barack Obama.
The Second Amendment was designed for people just like the president and his administration, Pratt told right-wing radio host Roger Fredinburg.
Right Wing Watch reported that Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, understood his apparent call for the assassination of the president might create a stir.
If the New York Times and the Rolling Stone, and whoever else wants to have a hissy fit yes, our guns are in our hands for people like those in our government right now that think they want to go tyrannical on us, weve got something for them, Pratt said. Thats what its all about.
Pratt, who has also called for a Second Amendment solution to anti-gun pundit Piers Morgan, made the comments in April during a discussion about an attempt by Congress to ban armor-piercing bullets.
The Second Amendment is not about hunting, its not about target shooting its about Democrats who want to take our rights, he said.
Despite his periodic calls to threaten elected officials with gun violence and ties to white supremacists, Pratt enjoys a position of influence in Republican politics.

material in so many places and has a million listeners a day. But he never gets arrested, even after applauding the ambush in Vegas.Nor does Beck, who's romanced killing Obama, Democrat and liberals before. Even to the point that some of his follower committed crimes and are doing time.
A court has allowed CCW in D.C. (Think John Wilkes Booth.) Courts have determined that threatening him online is protected by the 1A. Some states have areas that will not follow any federal laws.
I think with all the provocation, they really intend to kill the president to create chaos and take over in a right wing coup with great violence.
