Larry Pratt Thinks Obama Puts Gun Confiscation Over Shooting Victims
October 8, 2015

There's been another mass shooting and it's nearly a week later, so it's time for the http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/gun-activists-obama-wasnt-sad-about-oregon-shooting-just-sad-he-cant-take-peoples-guns. There's no one more representative of ammosexual gun culture than Larry Pratt, head of Gun Owners of America.

Pratt pontificated on Obama's motivations behind his anger and frustration last week on Armed America Radio. Yes, folks, there is such a thing.

“When I saw Barack Obama’s speech after Oregon, there was no doubt in my mind that he was in fact shaken up, he was in fact angry and he believed what he said, but not for the reasons that Americans think, Larry,” Walters said. “He’s only upset and ticked off that he can’t get anybody’s guns because of that pesky parchment paper. If he was in fact concerned about crime, he’d be having the same conversation on the bully pulpit every day regarding Chicago’s numbers. They need us to complete their agenda, they need to disarm America, they can’t do it. Isn’t that what’s really got him fired up?”

“I think you’re right,” Pratt responded, “and certainly he doesn’t react the way a lot of people were reacting, I think. They were definitely remorseful, they were saddened, they were horrified at what had happened and, as you say, he was ticked that here’s a crisis that’s going to go to waste.”

Projection much, Larry?

Can you help us out?
