Gun lobbyist Larry Pratt: ‘Healthy fear’ of getting shot keeps lawmakers and Piers Morgan in line

[phantom power]

We used to call people like this gangsters, and throw them in fucking prison.

Pratt said it wouldn’t be necessary to shoot his political opponents, because he thought the mere threat of gun violence was enough to keep them in line, based on a conversation one of his organization’s members had with a lawmaker.

“I knew the guy well enough to know that almost certainly he was mild-mannered, he was just explaining our position, and apropos of nothing, the congressman – congresswoman, actually – said, ‘You want to shoot me, don’t you,’” Pratt said.

That perception of fellow gun owners didn’t bother him at all, he said.

“That’s probably a healthy fear for them to have, although that was not the guy’s – he wasn’t saying anything like that, it wasn’t in his demeanor,” Pratt said. “But you know, I’m kind of glad that’s in the back of their minds. Hopefully they’ll behave.”

3. And that is what is all really about!

Fear of some crazy son of a bytche walking around with a gun strapped to his hip in a mall or some idiot in a movie theater that doesn't like something you are doing and has a concealed weapon ready to go. Bullies both seen and unseen. Great f'ng country we're turning into.

4. Does he believe in the golden rule?

Because, if so, he's asking us to get biblical on his ass. Kill him, his wife, his family, the men, castrate the boy children under twelve and take girls who are yet virgins as our concubines. It'll be that old-time religion. Is that really the world you want to live in, buddy? Because that's the one you're dragging us into.

I hate these fuckers so much.

5. "...a healthy fear for them to have...."

Gun Enthusiasts can quote the Second Amendment all they want; Platt makes clear what the true basis of the gun rights movement is. Shameful.
