BAT SHIT CRAZY Gun Owners of America CEO: Threatening to Shoot Politicians Makes Them ‘Behave’

Larry Pratt, the director of Gun Owners of America, has taken some extreme positions on guns and gun control over the years. Now, he’s threatening to shoot politicians, or at least hopes his members are willing to do so in order to make “anti-gun” politicians “behave” if they think they can pass gun control legislation.

Pratt even opposes the NRA’s main talking points that guns are for hunting and self-defense, telling Rolling Stone Magazine:

“Guns are for restraining tyrannical tendencies in government. . .Especially those in the liberal, tyrannical end of the spectrum. There is some restraint, and even if the voters of Brooklyn don’t hold them back, it may be there are other ways that their impulses are somewhat restrained. That’s the whole idea of the Second Amendment.”

all these idiots are going to act on their fantasies. Bundy ranch came close with snipers on the overpass with agents in their scopes. They need to be branded domestic terrorists.
