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.
