a direct correlation between the sudden release of criminals with a new crime
wave?

How far should we compromise?
Does Larry Pratt think Donald Trump is a friend of the Second Amendment?

Title: Analyzing the President’s Gun Speech
Topic: Gun Control
Discussed by Larry Pratt
with Gun Owners of America (www.GunOwners.org)
What is the answer to the ever-increasing problem of gun violence in
America? The President seems to think the problem can be solved by
taking guns away from honest, hard-working American citizens who are simply
wanting to protect their family or hunt for food. Many Conservatives in Congress
are shouting “Don’t worry! We won’t let him take your guns!” But do
they really have the guts to stand up to Obama and his leftist, gun-hating
friends?
Larry Pratt says, “They know what they should do, but they are not likely to
do it.” Just look what they did with Obamacare! They haven’t done anything
about that issue, so why should we expect a different outcome now? Larry brings
up Eric Cantor and refreshes our memory about what happened to him!
Larry also breaks down Obama’s wishes for new gun laws and regulations, which he
outlined in his speech on Tuesday, January 5th. What Obama wants to do not only
borders on tyranny, but is just plain foolish and absurd, especially when it
involves senior citizens gun rights. Additionally, his proposals will do
absolutely nothing to deter criminals from obtaining guns – whether legally or
illegally at a gun show or a gun shop.
Long story short, Larry Pratt says, “Government can’t be trusted.
They break their word. They get information and they abuse it.” If you have
questions regarding Obama’s new proposed gun regulations, please contact
Gun Owners of America at

Title: It’s a Heart Problem, Not a Gun Problem
Topic: Mass Killings and Shootings in America
Discussed by Larry Pratt
with Gun Owners of America (www.GunOwners.org)
Part 1 of 2
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young
children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to
understand.
Since 1950, only two mass shootings were not in gun-free zones. Maybe it’s time
we rid the nation of gun-free zones! Let’s take a look at other countries around
the world. Australia confiscated all the semi-automatic weapons from its
citizens. During the following year, they experienced a dramatic rise in armed
robbery crimes. How does this happen if the criminals don’t have guns? They do!
It’s the average citizen trying to protect their home and family that doesn’t
have a weapon!
Larry Pratt, the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, also
discusses a mass shooting in Norway where “one dirt bag murdered over 90
people. No good guy had a gun to help!” The same situation occurred on
Thursday, October 1, 2015, because the college campus in Oregon was a gun-free
zone! A lone, brave ex-serviceman charged the shooter and was shot five times.
But how many people could have been saved if he had been allowed to carry a
weapon on campus? We will never know.
There was another shooter in Oregon a few years ago who tried to commit mass
murder. Thankfully, a man actually committed a crime in order to stop
him! Listen in as Larry describes this situation and how lives were saved –
by a criminal!

Title: Part 2 of 2 - It’s a Heart Problem, Not a Gun Problem
Topic: Mass Killings and Shootings in America
Discussed by Larry Pratt
with Gun Owners of America (www.GunOwners.org)
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young
children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to
understand.
Every community where citizens are allowed to openly carry a weapon experiences
a much lower crime rate. It’s a proven fact. Larry also reveals that, as the
number of honest gun owners increases, the murder rate decreases. However, in
cities like Chicago and New York City, which do not allow its citizens to own
legal handguns (much less openly carry them), the murder rate increases! Most of
the crime in our country actually comes from these cities (and Washington, DC).
Removing guns from law-abiding citizens does nothing to stop criminals from
obtaining them. Larry Pratt says, “The whole country would start to resemble
Chicago.” So why do so many Americans believe the lies about the crime
rates in gun-free cities? Listen in as Larry discusses the low-information
voter.
Now, more than ever, it is so important for Christians to bow down and worship
our Heavenly Father. Yes, even over gun control. Most people don’t buy a gun
with the intent of purposefully killing someone. As mothers and fathers,
however, we must protect our families. We cannot do that when the very right is
literally taken from us. There will always be bad people in this world. We must
take a proactive approach to this issue instead of throwing it under the bus.
Larry Pratt has one solution: make the punishment fit the crime. When a criminal
commits a crime with a gun, why do we send them to jail to enjoy three meals a
day, work-out equipment, and a roof over their head for 5, 10, or 30 years? He
says, “Use the Biblical notion: Justice delayed is justice denied. If
someone is convicted of murder… walk them down the hall and pull the switch.”

Title: NO Epidemic of Mass Public Shootings
Topic: Mass Killings and Shootings in America
Discussed by Larry Pratt
with Gun Owners of America (www.GunOwners.org)
Part 1 of 2
Larry Pratt has been
Executive Director of Gun Owners of America for 30 years. GOA is a
national membership organization of 300,000 Americans, dedicated to promoting
their second amendment freedom to keep and bear arms.
CONGRESSIONAL STUDY SHOWS NO MASS PUBLIC SHOOTING ‘EPIDEMIC’.
A Congressional Research Services (CRS) study released on July 30 is devoid of
evidence to back gun control groups’ claims of an “epidemic” of “mass
public shootings.”

Title: Part 2 of 2 - NO Epidemic of Mass Public Shootings
Topic: Mass Killings and Shootings in America
Discussed by Larry Pratt
with Gun Owners of America (www.GunOwners.org)
What is a common
denominator in mass shootings and mass public shootings? The
overwhelming evidence points to the signal largest common factor in all of these
incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking
powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past
before they committed their crimes.
Multiple credible scientific studies going back more than a decade, as well as
internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the
information show that SSRI drugs (Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors )
have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to
suicide and other violent behavior.
In fact, counter to claims of “207 mass shootings” in the first 207
days of 2015–a claim CNN’s Fareed Zakaria suggested is “almost literally
true“–the CRS study shows an average of “21 mass shootings”
annually in the US during the time period of 1999-2013.

Title: Concealed Carriers aren't the Problem
Topic: Gun Rights
Discussed by Larry Pratt
with Gun Owners of America (www.GunOwners.org)
In Texas, concealed carry permit handgun owners commit crimes at roughly the
same rate as police officers: 0.18%. Total. This includes violent crimes. So
what’s all the fuss about? Why not allow open carry in Texas? The FBI Director
was recently asked about the crimes committed by people who are legally carrying
a handgun. Larry Pratt is the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America. He
reveals the response by the FBI director.
Larry also explains the difference between concealed handgun owners and
criminals carrying guns. Gun control advocates are totally fixated on those who
legally own guns and ignore the real problem: armed criminals. The facts don’t
lie. States with concealed carry laws have less crime than those with strict gun
laws. But this is not the MSM believes….
Also discussed in the interview with Larry Pratt are the staggering statistics
surrounding the increasing number of deaths caused by drunk driving in America.
Listen in to hear those numbers! Although every death is tragic, maybe we should
be less focused on gun deaths and more focused on drunk driving deaths. “There
is a definite correlation with those who drink and commit crimes. They have no
regard for human life,” Larry Pratt believes.

and gun rights.
Quote of the Interview (concerning accidental deaths and discharges of weapons):
“Americans are really not the doofuses that the elite thinks that they are.” –

When the police arrived on the scene, Zimmerman told them that Martin
attacked him and that he shot Martin in self-defense.
Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and from two vertical lacerations on the
back of his head. After being treated he was taken to the police station,
questioned for approximately five hours, and then released without being
charged.
Protests erupted and the news media lynched Zimmerman in the public arena. Now
the criminal trial has begun.

Discussed by Larry Pratt

Did the ATF tell gun shop owners to sell guns to crooks that were used to kill Americans?
Who knew what and when: are the flames getting higher and hotter within the Obama Administration? Why is the MSM – the main stream media – basically ignoring this issue?
Up to this point in time - the Justice Department has held no one accountable for authorizing this operation. But the real question is why did the Obama Administration, through the ATF, want to sell guns to known crooks who would use them? Do the ends justify the means? This is a great interview, please listen in and then send us your comments via the comment tab on the home site.
