<b>Liberty Central, the think tank founded and fronted by Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sure seems to like men with guns.</b>

It was troubling enough to find, as AlterNet reported last week, that Liberty Central is allied with Gun Owners of America. (Our call for comment to Liberty Central’s spokesperson was never returned.)

Further exploration of the Liberty Central Web site finds the group claiming among its “friend” organizations the<b> Missouri Sovereignty Project, </b>whose Web site features a video (posted below) called “<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Don’t Tread on Me” that shows several libertarian and right-wing figures threatening armed insurrection against the government if certain unspecified actions are taken. There is talk of usurpation of the people’s power by the state.</span>

Among them is Michael Badnarik, the 2004 Libertarian Party presidential candidate. The words, “WHAT SIDE WILL YOU STAND?” appear in gold on a black screen, and then Badnarik appears.

“I sincerely hope that enough people have crossed the personal line in the sand where they will join forces with the rest of us,” Badnarik says, “so that a small number of us are not required to use force and use of arms.”

Later in the video, which is a trailer for a full-length DVD, a man who is not identified but appears to be standing in front of a government building, says, “The time when you have to defend yourself from the government is when the law becomes lawless…” After a few frames of a hip-looking woman with pink hair saying that she will never “take a mandatory vaccination,” the editor takes us back to the scene of the man in front of the government building. “There might be shootin’ that day,” he says.

The Missouri Sovereignty Project promotes its own involvement with the film and urges Web site visitors to purchase a copy, with this line appearing above the video player:

The Missouri Sovereignty Project was privileged to be part of this excellent production.  Go here to buy your copy.

The film was written by William Lewis and Gary Franchi, directed by Lewis and produced by Franchi. They’re the team that brought you the film, “Camp FEMA,” a propaganda vehicle for a favorite right-wing conspiracy theory that asserts the government is creating internment camps for the unlawful detention of ordinary Americans.

Both “Camp FEMA” and “Don’t Tread on Me” feature 9/11 truther Alex Jones. (Lewis has  two 9/11-themed productions of his own, “911 Ripple Effect,” and “911 In Plane Site.”) But more fascinating — and disturbing — than that is what his latest endeavor, “Don’t Tread on Me”, tells us about what’s going on in state legislatures around the country.

“Don’t Tread on Me” features four Missouri state legislators and one Oklahoma state senator who appear to be allied with the Patriot movement and comfortable with a call to arms.

Really, should the spouse of a Supreme Court Justice — one of the most powerful government officials in the United States — be fronting an organization officially allied with groups that state their support for taking up arms against the government?

<b>As we reported last week, Larry Pratt, executive director of Liberty Central “friend” Gun Owners of America, recently appeared to call for war on the U.S. government at 2nd Amendment rally convened on the grounds of the Washington Monument on April 19th — the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.</b> (Pratt also addressed a meeting of white supremacists in 1992.)

Yes, it’s Ginni Thomas’ First Amendment right to associate with whomever she pleases, and it’s the right of all of her organization’s featured “friends” to state their views. But is this a morally okay thing? Isn’t it a kind of dangerous thing? Then why no outcry from progressives over this?

<b>Liberty Central is the latest addition to what I call Tea Party Inc. — the coalition of AstroTurf groups, right-wing media</b> and insider king-makers bent on harnessing the energy of the grassroots Tea Party movement. Tea Party Inc. has oodles and oddles of money that it’s dying to spend in the upcoming 2010 election, and in all sorts of activities (like the 2nd Annual September 12 Taxpayers’ March on Washington).
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
As Politico’s Kenneth P. Vogel reported last week, Ginni Thomas says she’s seeking, through Liberty Central, to bridge the gap between the grassroots Tea Party movement and the established players in Washington politics.</span>

The big money groups of Tea Party Inc. have so far pledged to spend at least $61 million in the congressional mid-term elections. Does anybody care that the lady building the bridge between them and the grassroots has a power pedigree and is aligned with armed, anti-government forces?

Here’s the trailer for “Don’t Tread on Me,” as featured on the Web site of the Missouri Sovereignty Project, which is listed as a “friend” of Liberty Central, the think tank headed by Ginni Thomas.

The people interviewed in the trailer are not identified on-screen, but the cast list is as follows: <b>Alex Jones</b>, Michael Badnarik, Oklahoma State Rep. Charles Key, Richard Mack, R.J. Harris, Edwin Vieira, Missouri State Rep. Cynthia Davis, Missouri State Senator Brian Neives, Missouri State Senator Gary Nodler, Missouri State Senator Jim Lembke, Stephen Shute, Jason Littlejohn, Randy Stufflebeam, Justin Sane, Josh Carter, <b>Tom DeWeese </b>Thomas Grady, James Lane and Tracy Ward.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

which existed primarily as an American front group for the apartheid

regime in South Africa during the Reagan years</b>, according to researcher

Richard Bartholomew, and was once led by convicted felon and former

lobbyist Jack Abramoff. But TFP is better known for its role in

promoting and supporting authoritarian regimes in South America. <a href="http://barthsnotes.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/some-notes-on-tradition-family-and-property-in-south-africa/" class="rm-stats-tracked">Here's Bartholomew</a>:</font></p><blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">TFP

played a role in the 1964 coup in Brazil, and in Uruguay it allegedly

received explosives from the Brazilian military attaché that were used

to attack communist installations. <b>The editor of TFP's Chilean magazine,

Jaime Guzmán, became chief ideologist for General Pinochet's regime.</b></font></p></blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">If

TFP's activities on behalf of torturers and anti-democratic forces

weren't enough to give one pause, there's its status as a cult. TFP is

an all-male organization that finds its recruits among adolescent boys,

whom it trains in the use of the combat regalia of the Middle Ages --

maces, crossbows, and the like -- according to the late Penny Lernoux's

1989 book,<b> People of God: The Struggle for World Catholicism</b>.

The medieval games in which the boys partake are so brutal, Lernoux

reported, that one recruit told her his arm had been broken three times

in the exercises.</span></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The medieval games continue today. Last July, TFP sponsored a 10-day "Call to Chivalry" camp in rural Louisiana, where, <a href="http://www.tfpstudentaction.org/what-we-do/call-to-chivalry-camps/chivalry-inspires-a-new-generation-at-tfp-camp.html" class="rm-stats-tracked">according to the group's Web site</a>, boys and young men took part:</font></p><blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Some

new skills were learned such as medieval spear throwing and archery.

Mock sword battles with padded weapons were a great success as were

paintball wars in the thick tropical-looking forest surrounding the

property. An exhausting hike in the Tunica Hills Park taught a poignant

lesson of endurance.</font></p></blockquote><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">At the time Lernoux was

reporting, recruits were taught to worship not only the Blessed Virgin

Mary, the holiest woman in Catholicism, but also the flesh-and-blood

mother of TFP founder Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, whom he referred to as

Santa Monica. Oliveira, who died in 1995,  loved the Spanish

Inquisition, he wrote, "because, while it went on, the Catholic Church

managed to cleanse itself of heretics." (Never mind that many of those

so-called heretics were Jews who wanted nothing more than to practice

their own faith, or people whose politics were inconvenient to the

Spanish throne.)</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">I first learned of the American branch of TFP by

stumbling upon one of their demonstrations in midtown Manhattan in the

late 1980s, when the<b> group was coddled by the late Archbishop John

Cardinal O'Connor. </b>They often assembled on the sidewalk near St.

Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, decked out in red polyester sashes

emblazoned with a yellow lion. Their big issue at that moment was the

criminalization of flag desecration, which was a lure for collecting

names and addresses on petition forms. I remember feeling disconcerted

by their need to videotape each interaction they had with those they

were trying to attract.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The group remains active in New York,

though its red-sashed members are as likely to be seen in lower

Manhattan than around the cathedral.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Catholic crusades against

the Muslim world are viewed as a time of glory by the devotees of TFP.

Roberto de Mattei, who wrote a friendly biography of Oliveira and is

said to be close to TFP, presented his revisionist history of the

crusades at a <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/european_football/article743063.ece" class="rm-stats-tracked">2006 conference</a> at the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University in Rome.

raised against the Parc51 Islamic cultural center planned for lower

Manhattan, dispatching student volunteers to a September protest at the

site where the World Trade Center once stood. (TFP video <a href="http://www.tfp.org/current-campaigns/2010/america-says-no-to-mega-mosque.html" class="rm-stats-tracked">here</a>.)</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">TFP maintains a presence on the campuses of U.S. Catholic colleges, and currently sponsors a petition drive to <a href="http://www.tfpstudentaction.net/campaigns/chronocontact/protest_1001.html" class="rm-stats-tracked">purge them</a> of LGBT rights groups. It describes a Supreme Court decision in <em>Lawrence v. Texas</em>,

the suit that struck down anti-sodomy laws, as America's "Moral 9/11."

Clarence Thomas, incidentally, joined Antonin Scalia's dissent in that

case, which accused the court's majority of having "largely signed on to

the so-called homosexual agenda."</span></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Related stories:</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://alternettest.wpengine.com/reproductivejustice/147464/tea_party_think_tank_headed_by_clarence_thomas%27_wife_makes_common_cause_with_militia_guru_larry_pratt/?page=entire" class="rm-stats-tracked">Tea Party Think Tank Headed By Clarence Thomas' Wife Makes Common Cause With Militia Guru Larry Pratt</a></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2010/07/14/group-allied-with-ginni-thomas-think-tank-threatens-armed-insurrection/" class="rm-stats-tracked">Group Allied With Ginni Thomas' Think Tank Threatens Armed Insurrection</a></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><a href="http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2010/10/22/will-clarence-thomas-wife-demand-apology-from-latest-accuser-its-his-ex-girlfriend/" class="rm-stats-tracked">Will Clarence Thomas' Wife Demand Apology From Latest Accuser?

where he appeared to be calling for war against the U.S. government.

The 2nd Amendment March wasn't really a march at all, but a rally on the

place April 19 -- the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing by

self-styled militiaman Timothy McVeigh. (The bombing of the Alfred P.

that seemed to be aimed at the gun owners convening on the Mall in

which he urged readers not to forget that McVeigh's act was born of the

</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It is highly unlikely

that Pratt's bitter rhetoric is a secret to Ginni Thomas. Pratt is no

stranger to controversy. He's an unabashed supporter of the militia

</i></font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In

1996, Pratt was forced to resign his role as an adviser to Pat

Buchanan's presidential campaign when it was revealed that, in 1992, he

addressed a gathering of white supremacists in Estes, Colorado. Included

on the roster of speakers that day were neo-Nazis and militia

advocates, including Louis Beam, a former Texas Grand Dragon of the Ku

Klux Klan who had taken his cause over to the Aryan Nation organization.

The meeting had been called by Pete Peters, then leader of the

<b>Christian Identity </b>movement, whose theology states that black people are

subhuman and Jews are the spawn of Satan</span>.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Pratt came to make

clear his advocacy for unfettered gun rights. "The Second Amendment

ain't about duck hunting,"</b> he told the crowd, according reporter Leonard

Zeskind, <a href="http://www.rickross.com/reference/militia/militia7.html" class="rm-stats-tracked">reporting in <em>Rolling Stone</em></a>.

Pratt explained that he bought his first gun during the 1968 riots that

engulfed Washington, D.C., in the wake of the killing of Dr. Martin

Luther King, Jr. "If they'd had that assault rifle, so-called, for sale,

and I'd seen that big old magazine there at the time, that's exactly

what I would have bought," Pratt said, according to <em>Rolling Stone</em>.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Pratt

represents a kind of pivot point between the right-wing extreme and the

right-wing establishment. While Pratt is cozy with Howard Phillips, the

Christian Reconstructionist founder of the Constitution Party, he's

also friendly with former House Majority Leader Richard Armey, the

chairman of FreedomWorks, the kingpin of Tea Party Inc. astroturf

groups. Armey once served on the advisory board of the now-defunct

Family Foundation, an organization founded by Pratt, that housed an

anti-immigrant group, English First (which still exists)</span>. </font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Ginni

powerful Washington, D.C., organization that helped organize last

summer's disruptions of town-hall meetings conducted by members of

Congress about health care reform legislation. </span>FreedomWorks also

sponsored the stage program at the conclusion of last fall's 912 march

on Washington, and an anti-health care rally on the grounds of the U.S.

Capitol last spring. <b>Ginni Thomas also worked with FreedomWorks

GOA Wins a 2A Sanctuary Victory in Court!

<b>GOA Victory over Everytown</b>
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) beat Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety in court this Thursday.

The issue involved a Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance (SASO) passed by the citizens of Columbia County, Oregon.</span>

Bloomberg’s group tried to torpedo the 2A sanctuary movement by challenging a local 2A sanctuary ordinance.

But GOA, who was joined by the Oregon Firearms Federation (OFF), came to the defense of the ordinance. And we are very thankful that the court sided against Everytown.

<b>Over 60 percent of municipalities in the United States have passed 2A sanctuaries. So this case marks a huge victory for not only gun owners in Columbia County, Oregon, but Second Amendment supporters nationwide.</b>

You can read the GOA and OFF brief here and the judge’s decision here.
NRA Joins GOA’s Bump Stock Case
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">
"Enough is enough. The federal courts cannot stand idly by while ATF continues to blatantly evade the statutes Congress wrote through cutesy "Interpretations" of the text..." - Exceprt from GOA/GOF amicus brief</span>

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><b>We reported to you earlier this week that GOA and GOF have submitted a supplemental brief in our bump stock case before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.</b>

Ours is the only case that has been victorious in getting a court to admit what gun owners already knew — that a bump stock is not a machinegun.

Now, the NRA announced yesterday that it is joining this effort, as they have submitted their own amicus brief.</span>

<b>We are glad to see the NRA join Gun Owners of America and Gun Owners Foundation in our battle to protect the Second Amendment, as the ATF’s Final Rule could force all semi-automatic firearms to be unconstitutionally regulated as machineguns.</b>

Ammoland recently interviewed GOA’s attorney in this case, Rob Olson, who said that:

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">    Congress did not delegate to ATF the authority to define or redefine the term “Machinegun.”</span> This fact is important because the courts have ruled that only Congress has the power to write new federal criminal law.

Olson, who is also one of the attorneys in the 2A Sanctuary case mentioned above, makes the point that giving “deference” to the ATF “will only further embolden ATF’s lawless actions.” As stated by Ammoland:

<b>    Many consider the ATF to be out of control. The ATF is trying to use deference to shut down the unfinished firearm frames and pistol-stabilizing brace markets.</b> Many do not believe that the agency has the power to do so because they would be making de facto laws. If GOA is successful in the bump stock case, then it could throw a monkey wrench into the ATF’s future plans.

This is exactly why this case is so important. A win in this case can help stymie other lawless attempts by the ATF.

GOA will make oral arguments before the court in October. Please stay tuned!
GOA Reaching Millions Via Traditional and Social Media

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Senior Vice President Erich Pratt on Newsmax</span>

<b>    GOA’s Erich Pratt appeared on Newsmax to discuss the Supreme Court’s latest case</b> and the potential relief that could be coming for gun owners. But make sure to watch to the end: you’ll see a debate that will explain the ultimate problem with being forced to prove your innocence before exercising a protected right.
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">    Do you believe in the Second Amendment? Consider yourself a patriot? Well, know that Big Tech now thinks you’re an “extremist” and is placing you in a database.</span> Read GOA Federal Director Aidan Johnston’s article in the <b>Daily Caller </b>on this point.
<b>    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her anti-gun cabal </b>are attempting to pass gun control such as gun licensing, “red flag” gun confiscation orders, and gun buybacks into the appropriation bills (H.R. 4502 and H.R. 4505). See this Guns & Gadgets video, as it breaks down GOA’s opposition to the Pelosi-backed gun control.
<b>    The ACLU is facing backlash for claiming that racism is “foundational” to the Second Amendment.</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> GOA’s Antonia Okafor Cover went on Fox News to explain that it’s actually gun control that has the racist past. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><b>PROJECT 21] </b><a href="https://nationalcenter.org/project21/staff/antonia-okafor/"> https://nationalcenter.org/project21/staff/antonia-okafor/</a></span>

In 1983, he contributed an essay titled “Tools of Biblical Resistance” to the Reconstructionist publication "<a href="http://garynorth.com/TacticsCR.pdf" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">Tactics of Christian Resistance</a>." In it, he wrote: "Clearly, the Bible is no longer available as the bedrock of law and society as it was for our founding fathers. In place of the Bible, the ultimate law in the America of the secular humanists has become the Supreme Court. In the name of a 'living constitution,' nine men and women have taken the authority to find rights that never existed and take away rights bestowed by God and set forth in the Constitution drawn up 200 years ago."</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">An “anti-Christian" government such as the United States cannot be counted on to protect the population, and by restricting gun ownership it is "trying to enslave the citizenry," Pratt reasons. He is fond of citing a biblical passage from the Book of Samuel as justification for a heavily armed American populace. As the story goes, only two people in Israel had swords, because the Philistines had banned them. After their empty-handed soldiers lost a battle, God permitted the Israelites to rearm and win a rematch.</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Today, the same goals of the Philistines would be carried out by an oppressor who would ban gunsmiths from the land. The sword of today is the handgun, rifle or shotgun,” Pratt wrote in a 1999 <a href="http://gunowners.org/fs9902.htm" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">GOA column</a>. “The sword control of the Philistines is today’s gun control of those governments that do not trust their people with guns.”</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"The Old Testament also tells us a great deal about the positive relationship between righteousness, which exalts a nation, and self defense," Pratt continued. "It makes clear that in times of national rebellion against the Lord God, the rulers of the nation will reflect the spiritual degradation of the people and the result is a denial of God's commandments, an arrogance of officialdom, disarmament and oppression."</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">As a soldier defending "righteousness," Pratt sees guns as essential to that fight, which might come in the form of a race war. During a 2013 appearance on the "Talk to Solomon Show," posted on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpGEyZFS8KI" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing: inherit; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s; background: transparent;">YouTube</a> by Right Wing Watch, Pratt envisioned "some sort of social implosion" during President Obama's second term. "These folks in power are seeking that kind of confrontation, and it would be a wonderful surprise if it did not happen," Pratt said.</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The show's host, Stan Solomon, predicted a coming race war that would take the form of attacks “on Christian, heterosexual white haves by black, Muslim and/or atheist — not that there’s much difference — black have-nots.” Any "white, heterosexual, Christian, working, married person" who doesn't have a gun faces "a substantial chance of being hurt and/or killed," Solomon said.</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"I don't think there's anything stretching to say that," Pratt replied. "I think there are people that really want to bring violence about, because they see that as the engine of social change. That's exactly the target for the Alinskyites [a reference to social reformer Saul Alinsky]. And I think they must figure that they've got their guy in power, and they will then have at least some of the agencies of the police powers of the state at their back, and this is the time to go for it."</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Defending American society from the "arrogance of officialdom, disarmament and oppression" is a busy jo</b>b.

Pratt was unmoved, replying that "the general and his troops are not going to be there to protect the average American, the military nor the police after social order implodes, after a hurricane, after an earthquake, during riots."

The article also describes potential presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as Pratt's “key ally in the Senate,” adding that GOA contributed to Cruz's primary campaign. Another important GOA supporter is former Texas congressman Ron Paul, whose quote is emblazoned at top right-hand side of the GOA website: "The only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington."</font></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 2em; line-height: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Pratt was also personal friends with George W.

Pratt did not respond to a request for comment.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Before the Tuesday cancellation, dozens of UCSC students took to social media to condemn Pratt’s appearance both for its timing and for what they claimed were links between Pratt and white supremacist groups tracing back to a 1992 appearance at an event called Gathering of Christian Men. Pratt, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, “stands at the intersection of guns and Jesus,” and has advocated for unrestricted access to firearms throughout his lengthy career.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">UCSC Chancellor George Blumenthal told the campus’s student government on Tuesday night that for Pratt to appear on the campus so soon after the Parkland shooting would be “needlessly insensitive.” Blumenthal was responding to a question about the event that he said he understood to be canceled.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“When tragedy happens, the time to talk about it is now,” said Eva Lomazov, 22, who leads Young Americans for Liberty chapter and was one of the event’s organizers. Lomazov said she believes that more guns, not fewer, are what is needed in response to school shootings. “I know that the Left will disagree with me, but that’s the belief I have. So if anything, I was more inclined to bring Larry Pratt to my friends — I wanted to bring him to the campus — because something had happened and now is the time to figure out what to change and how to change it.”</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">College Republicans President Brandon Lang agreed, saying the shooting only underscored the need to have an open and honest conversation around guns.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The secretive nature of Pratt’s Wednesday appearance came out of fears for attendees’ safety, according to an organizer.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I am genuinely scared of being hurt on the UCSC campus,” Lomazov said. She said she has received a number of online threats from fellow students due to her involvement in conservative political groups, and said she been called a Nazi numerous times. The senior computer science and economics double-major is Jewish, and said her parents came to the U.S. from the Soviet Union — contributing, she said, to her Libertarian beliefs.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The students were so committed to keeping the rescheduled Wednesday event under wraps that Lang denied Pratt would be speaking Wednesday during an interview with the Sentinel, while College Republicans spokesman John Weatherford declined to comment.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">During the same interview, a would-be attendee approached Lang looking for an update, and Lang frantically waved him away. Confronted with the Sentinel’s knowledge that the talk would indeed take place, he said he felt betrayed that someone, he assumed, had betrayed the groups’ confidence.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But event had been kept under tight wraps even before its faux cancellation.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Lomazov said that while they wanted to host a public event, school officials told them it wouldn’t be possible to secure the insurance and security necessary to handle potential protesters. “We had no say in the matter,” she said.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to Lomazov and other organizers, keeping information about it off Facebook, was mandated by the university.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“The agreement we signed said there was to be no social media leak, and if there was a leak we were responsible for it from our side,” Weatherford said.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">UCSC spokesman Scott Hernandez-Jason wrote in an email that “there was no requirement to maintain confidentiality,” adding that the students were unable to make the event open to the public because their request came after a deadline needed to arrange for the necessary security. According to Hernandez-Jason, it was the students themselves who decided to cancel the event after being informed that they would not be covered under the original insurance.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Once the on campus event was canceled, the university’s involvement ended, leaving Lomazov without any security to call on and covering the costs of the meeting out of pocket, subsidized by the donations of attendees.</font></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

We agreed to do a video interview next week, where he would answer all questions unedited from anybody in the UCSC student body regardless of their political views or affiliation. If you would like your question to be featured in the interview, please message me on the City on a Phil page. Mr. Pratt's lobby has 1.5 million members. He stated that he sees his organization as a "tugboat" to pull the NRA to the right and away from moderate positions. Whether you agree with his positions or not, the reality is that Mr. Pratt has a large (and increasing) presence on capital hill and in statehouses all over this country. In the wake of recent events, many people feel angry, frustrated and powerless. Please consider this opportunity to communicate directly with one of the gun lobby's key players.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

The Soviet, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions were traumas to Western elites, and the on-going conflicts and the well-publicized abuses of Communist states have contributed to elevating opposition to communism to a first principle of Western ideology and politics. This ideology helps mobilize the populace against an enemy, and because the concept is fuzzy it can be used against anybody advocating policies that threaten property interests or support accommodation with Communist states or radicalism. It therefore helps fragment the left and labor movements and serves as a political- control mechanism. If the triumph of communism is the worst imaginable result, the support of fascism abroad is justified as a lesser evil.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

That Pratt addressed the 1992 "Christian Men's Meeting," organized by notorious Christian Identity racist, Pete Peters, is an established fact. That Pratt shared the platform with Aryan Nations fuhrer  , Richard Butler and "former" Klan "Grand Dragon," Louis Beam, the neo-Nazi architect of "leaderless resistance," is incontestable. That he gave a speech at the 1993 Jubilation Conference in Sacramento, California, an annual gathering of far-rightists' sponsored by the anti-Semitic publisher of Jubilee,   the flagship tabloid of the Christian Identity movement, is true and has been accurately reported by the bourgeois press.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

But because such activities advanced the geopolitical and military goals of the United States, Pratt's actual record is passed over in silence  ; a facet of media self-censorship that has been well- documented elsewhere.[1]</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

The group disseminated reams of material during the 1980s purporting to prove linkages between a Soviet-inspired global terror network and liberal and left-wing American groups opposed to US foreign policies. CIS also expended considerable effort to improve the public image of the reputed Salvadoran death squad leader Roberto D'Aubuisson. When the FBI's CISPES files were pried open in 1988 by a lawsuit brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights they were found to contain several reports written by J. Michael Waller, a researcher whose work has been sponsored by the nongovernmental Council for Inter-American Security.

Samuel Dickens, a former intelligence officer and CIS board member, was the executive director for inter-hemispheric affairs for the American Security Council (ASC), an outfit founded by ex-FBI agents. ASC was an instrumental group which targeted leftists during the 1950s, the period of the McCarthyite witch-hunts. Founded in 1955, ASC funding has been provided by Motorola, Lockheed, Boeing and General Dynamics, among others.[15] The information they collected, much of it bogus, was then sold to ASC's dues-paying corporate members. At the height of their domestic operations ASC red hunters, including the sinister Roy Cohn, Senator McCarthy's chief inquisitor, were gathering the names of alleged "subversives" at the staggering rate of 20,000 per month.  [16] One analyst has said that the ASC is "not just the representative of the military-industrial complex, it is the personification of the military-industrial complex."[17]</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Estimation results have proven to be very sensitive to the precise specification used and time period examined. The initial model specification, when extended to new data, does not show evidence that passage of right-to-carry laws reduces crime. The estimated effects are highly sensitive to seemingly minor changes in the model specification and control variables. No link between right-to-carry laws and changes in crime is apparent in the raw data, even in the initial sample; it is only once numerous covariates are included that the negative results in the early data emerge. While the trend models show a reduction in the crime growth rate following the adoption of right-to-carry laws, these trend reductions occur long after law adoption, casting serious doubt on the proposition that the trend models estimated in the literature reflect effects of the law change. Finally, some of the point estimates are imprecise. Thus, the committee concludes that with the current evidence it is not possible to determine that there is a causal link between the passage of right-to-carry laws and crime rates.

Further research will be needed to see if this conclusion survives as more data and better methodologies are employed to estimate the impact of RTC laws on crime.

Still, over the years it has managed to influence policy. In the 1980s, it worked closely with lawmakers to pass the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), which outlawed the creation of a national gun registry. Over 20 years later, in the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, it helped kill the Manchin-Toomey proposal to expand background checks. GOA spread literature that alleged, erroneously, that the act would revise FOPA and put in place a federal registry. The campaign proved successful. Previously, the NRA had offered “qualified support” for the Manchin-Toomey bill, but as fears of a federal registry gained ground, it withdrew its approval. </font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

For decades, he has found common cause with white supremacists and the Christian Identity movement, speaking at their events about the need to keep the evils of government at bay with firearms. In the early ’90s, he became a key figure in the country’s burgeoning militia movement, which was sparked after federal marshals got into a shootout with an alleged neo-Nazi in Idaho’s Ruby Ridge mountains. Pratt joined leaders of the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nations at an event in Colorado to discuss the standoff. According to a Rolling Stone article from the time, his appearance signaled that the “gun lobby would be at the center of a web of right-wing warriors.” The Southern Poverty Law Center considers him to be a dangerous “extremist.”  </font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

He travels to universities around the country, calling on students to rise up and fight for the right to bring their firearms on to college grounds. The effort came to fruition in Texas this summer, when Governor Greg Abbott signed campus-carry into law, nine years after Pratt articulated the guiding philosophy of his cause. “If we lose the hearts and minds of the next generation,” he said, “we will never win the ultimate battle to regain our lost rights.”</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

However, in reality, the Affordable Care Act explicitly forbids discrimination against gun owners and any kind of national gun owner registry, and the law screening out people with mental illness from gun purchases through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System was passed by President Bush.

A pivotal figure in the rise of right-wing militia, or “Patriot,” groups, he spoke at the notorious 1992 “Gathering of Christian Men” in Estes Park, Colo., where 160 neo-Nazis, Klan members, anti-Semitic Christian Identity adherents and others arguably laid the groundwork for the militia movement that would explode in 1994. He believes that white Christians must arm themselves for self-protection in the inevitable social implosions and riots that are soon to come.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Nonetheless, with the support of GOA's 300,000 members and a Beltway lobbying effort, Pratt continues to be heeded by some in Congress and the national media.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Buchanan's presidential campaign when it was publicized that he had been a speaker at the 1992 Gathering of Christian Men in Estes Park, Colo., where he rubbed shoulders with neo-Nazis, Klansmen, adherents of the anti-Semitic Christian Identity theology, and other radicals. The gathering was held to formulate a response to the Ruby Ridge standoff in northern Idaho earlier that year between federal agents and white supremacist Randy Weaver; a U.S. marshal and white supremacist Randy Weaver’s wife and son were killed during that 11-day mountaintop confrontation. The gathering was organized by the late Pete Peters, a pastor of Christian Identity, which posits that Jews are biological descendants of Satan and people of color are subhuman. Among the 160 Estes Park attendees were Aryan Nations leader Richard G. Butler and former Aryan “ambassador” and Ku Klux Klan leader Louis Beam. Many analysts see the Estes Park meeting as critical to the formulation of the militia, or “Patriot,” movement that would explode nationally in 1994.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

That book is thought to have introduced the concept of citizen militias to the radical right. It included a detailed study of the "citizen defense patrols" used in Guatemala and the Philippines against Communist rebels — murderously brutal patrols that came to be commonly described as death squads. Pratt's speech in Estes Park offered a scenario for how similar militias could be organized in the United States.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

The following year, in 1993, he spoke at the “Jubilee Jubilation” in Sacramento, Calif., an event sponsored by the Christian Identity newspaper Jubilee, where he again shared the stage with Louis Beam, a key architect of the revolutionary doctrine of “leaderless resistance” that today is embraced by many terrorists of the extreme right.

Pratt's topic was the "Biblical Mandate to Arm." Also in 1995, Pratt edited a book of essays entitled Safeguarding Liberty: The Constitution & Militias, with the theme of constitutional guarantees for the formation of non-governmental militia groups. The next year, it emerged that Pratt was a contributing editor to a periodical of the anti-Semitic United Sovereigns of America, and that GOA had donated money to a white supremacist attorneys’ group.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

(Prominent dominionists include U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Gov. Rick Perry (R-Tex.), and retired Gen. Jerry Boykin, executive vice president of the Family Research Council.) Reconstructionism is based on the writings of the late Rousas John Rushdoony, a kind of Calvinist on steroids who sought to impose Old Testament law on the United States, meaning, among other things, the death penalty for adulterers, abortionists, gays, blasphemers, idolaters, witches, and others.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

In 1983, he contributed an essay titled “Tools of Biblical Resistance” to the Reconstructionist publication "Tactics of Christian Resistance." In it, he wrote: "Clearly, the Bible is no longer available as the bedrock of law and society as it was for our founding fathers. In place of the Bible, the ultimate law in the America of the secular humanists has become the Supreme Court. In the name of a 'living constitution,' nine men and women have taken the authority to find rights that never existed and take away rights bestowed by God and set forth in the Constitution drawn up 200 years ago."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

He is fond of citing a biblical passage from the Book of Samuel as justification for a heavily armed American populace. As the story goes, only two people in Israel had swords, because the Philistines had banned them. After their empty-handed soldiers lost a battle, God permitted the Israelites to rearm and win a rematch.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Appearing on MSNBC's "Hardball" with host Chris Matthews, Pratt said teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn., where a mass murder took place in late 2012, should have been armed. On "Fox News Sunday" with Chris Wallace, Pratt argued for rolling back existing gun laws because they are too restrictive.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

In 2013, when Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) was parlaying with Democrats on a bill to expand background checks for gun buyers, Pratt mobilized GOA members in Oklahoma to torpedo the effort, according to The New York Times. The article also describes potential presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as Pratt's “key ally in the Senate,” adding that GOA contributed to Cruz's primary campaign. Another important GOA supporter is former Texas congressman Ron Paul, whose quote is emblazoned at top right-hand side of the GOA website: "The only no-compromise gun lobby in Washington."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Pratt and the Institute's founder, Morton Blackwell, share a history in conservative activism going back four decades, and Pratt had spoken there many times, providing legislative updates on the politics of guns. Today, there seemed to be a jauntiness to the oddly boyish-faced 71-year old, who'd found himself at the center of a national media story just beginning to fade. He opened with a joke.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">"Piers Morgan sends his regrets he won't be able to attend," Pratt deadpanned. </font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">The audience chuckled at the reference.

But no one who's studied his multi-faceted career could describe him as stupid. On CNN, Pratt was smart enough not to tell Piers Morgan what he really thinks about the Second Amendment. Because what he really thinks resonates deeply with the theocratic tenets of Christian Reconstructionism, which holds that American government should be ordered according to events and dictates found in the Old and New Testaments. Nor is Pratt so stupid as to use his regular access to mainstream media to promote the "active measures" he believes American gun owners will one day be forced to unleash on a secular federal government. In his 1999 essay, "What does the Bible Say About Gun Control?" Pratt writes, "<b>If Christ is not our King, we shall have a dictator to rule over us, just as Samuel warned."</b></font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">Pratt doesn't talk like this when being interviewed by The New York Times or answering questions on C-SPAN. Instead, he uses the more familiar language of ensuring public safety and respecting constitutional rights. He has employed this two-track communications operation with admirable efficacy and consistency since launching Gun Owners of America as the Beltway's first "no-compromise" gun-rights lobbying group in 1976. Over 40 years, Pratt has blazed the path and built the model for a gun-rights movement that has transformed the landscape of American gun politics.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

With the rise of the Tea Party scene, Pratt has discovered new constituencies and new platforms for spreading his message of a Biblically mandated rollback of all gun regulation. He has also found new champions in the forms of his favorite senators: Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.

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." He reiterated the point this March during an interview with conservative talk show host Bill Cunningham. Speaking of a New York Congresswoman who had expressed fear that one of Pratt's members wanted to shoot her, Pratt said, "You know, I'm kind of glad that's in the back of their minds.

We can have all the guns in the world, and if we don't have the will to use them [against the government], then they are useless."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

It is written in Pratt's voice, because he has personally overseen engineering and construction of this aqueduct while building the larger gun-rights movement. This movement, considered as a whole, is not as conservative as Pratt. It is increasingly flavored with Libertarian ideas and language, building on outreach efforts designed to deflect attention from socially conservative politics that command ever fewer Americans. But it is no less zealous than Pratt on the question of gun reform. The gun-rights movement is distinct from, and often at odds with, the official gun "lobby" that is dominated by the National Rifle Association and its industry allies. The NRA remains the 500-pound gorilla of gun politics, with a budget and membership that dwarfs all other gun groups combined. But it is now surrounded, most heavily on its right, by a growing cluster of so-called "Second Amendment Absolutist" groups, from influential state-level activist networks like the Arizona Citizens Defense League, to ascendant fundraising dynamos like Dudley Brown's National Association for Gun Rights.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

"The NRA debates using arguable premises of the American system: What is the meaning of the Second Amendment, of self-defense? Pratt unconnects from all that, and appeals to the least informed, most paranoid people." In parallel with his frequent national media appearances, Pratt aggressively pursues smaller radio audiences to peddle conspiracy theories and recycled John Birch Society propaganda from the 1960s. In recent years he has argued that the Aurora, Colorado, mass shooting was an inside job and that the Justice Department was pursuing charges against George Zimmerman to stir up racial animosity, trigger social chaos, and "build their own communist society."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">As the gun-rights movement grows into and with the new century, Pratt is seen as a dinosaur, yet one who still commands respect. "Larry's a hardcore throwback and a bit of a weirdo — a black helicopter and Trilateral Commission kind of guy — but he has a certain brand and a name he's been around forever," says a staffer in the office of a veteran GOP senator. Indeed, few figures have had a greater impact in the development of the pro-gun movement. Purist groups created on his "no compromise" model now lead the charges in the courts and the states to block new gun-control legislation and chip away at those that exist. Most make the NRA look moderate by comparison.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

When Gun Owners of America helped lead the gun-rights charge against an expansion of background checks, the New York Times discovered this "influential force" capable of both "freezing" and "empowering" senators. This influence may help to explain the reluctance of elected officials and their staffs to discuss Pratt's lobbying operation. When contacted, several current and former members of Congress and congressional staffers from both parties declined to comment on the experience of being on the receiving end of GOA's lobbying fire. The list of those who shied away from talking included nine senators and congressman, such as Republican Senators Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, as well as Democratic Senators Jon Tester and Mark Begich.  </font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">Pratt enters his fifth decade of gun activism with ambitious plans for this influence.

And it is nothing if not absolute: GOA agitates against background checks, waiting periods, and fines for straw purchases (guns purchased legally for resale on the black market).</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Many of Pratt's current targets in the primaries enjoy high or perfect ratings from the NRA. Some of them, like Mitch McConnell, have long enjoyed "B" or higher grades from the GOA. But only perfect grades like Rand Paul's "A+" are truly acceptable in Pratt's purist world. Unlike the NRA's system, GOA counts votes on any bill that tangentially touches on gun rights as a "gun vote." Sometimes no vote is required at all to arouse Pratt's displeasure, merely inaction. In explaining GOA's support for Mitch McConnell's challenger, Matt Bevin, the group cites the senator's failure to vigorously oppose The Affordable Care Act.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">"Obamacare is allowing the medical profession to use information that people give their doctor against them, to take their guns," says Tim Macy, vice chairman of GOA.

The legislative expression of this turn, the 1968 Gun Control Act, established today's regulatory framework for firearms, including a federal licensing system for dealers. It was the first major gun law since Prohibition-era violence and the advent of the "getaway car" transformed crime and led to the 1934 National Firearms Act, which brought machine guns, short-barreled rifles, and silencers under strict government regulation.

For the group's hardline members, this was one compromise too many. Lyndon Johnson's signing of the Gun Control Act deepened a longstanding fissure inside the organization that widened into a full breach five years later. In 1973, the NRA board put its finger in the air and determined that its future depended on pivoting away from guns and toward conservation and outdoor sports. Plans were put in motion to sell its D.C. headquarters, relocate to Colorado Springs, and build a "National Outdoor Center" in New Mexico, where backpacking, hiking and wilderness survival classes would be taught alongside shooting sports. To help figure out how to finance the overhaul, the NRA commissioned the liberal New York consultant Harold Oram, whose clients included Greenpeace, McGovern for President, and the New York Civil Liberties Union. Oram's report, issued in the summer of 1976, concluded that raising the $30 million needed for the NRA's Outdoor Center would require de-emphasizing its past opposition to gun control and avoiding all mention of gun politics in NRA publications. If it renounced its past and promised to stay out of politics, Oram advised, foundations like Rockefeller, then and now a major source of non-profit grants, could be counted on for financing.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">During the years of the NRA's slow careen left in search of Rockefeller money, Larry Pratt was making a name for himself in a movement where the Rockefeller name was synonymous with liberal Republicanism — and nearly synonymous with the Devil himself. In 1970, the 28-year-old Pratt became executive director of the American Conservative Union, founded six years prior by William F. Buckley to carry forward the flame of Barry Goldwater's failed presidential campaign. It was in this capacity that Pratt attended the 1972 GOP Republican Convention in Miami Beach, where he joined fellow conservatives in battles over Nixon's reelection platform. In Miami, Pratt forged a friendship with another young religious conservative on the make, Paul Weyrich. The two men were so similar, politically and physically, that they looked like a mirror image when they were talking to each other. At the time, Weyrich was raising funds for what would soon become the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation. One of the men in Weyrich's growing network was H.L. Richardson, a frustrated NRA board member, California State Senator, and member of the far-right John Birch Society. Weyrich introduced Pratt and Richardson, who became fast friends.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">Larry Pratt South Jersey Times /Landov]</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">In 1975, Richardson founded Gun Owners of America on the model of his first group, Gun Owners of California, established earlier that year to (successfully) oppose a state handgun ban and (less successfully) the extension of ownership waiting periods from five to 15 days.

He'd purchased his first firearm during the 1968 riots that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King. "There were some racial difficulties," Pratt later recalled. "I heard on the radio that the police weren't sure they could control the rioters coming north on 16th Street, so I went out and bought a shotgun."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">In his adult arrival to the world of guns, Pratt resembled another rising star emerging from the 1960s conservative firmament, one who would go on to rival Pratt's influence in national gun politics. In 1971, Alan Gottlieb, a 24-year-old organizer for Young Americans for Freedom (another Buckley-founded group) founded the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Gottlieb nurtured the group on two key resources: mailing lists, and seed money from William Loeb, the conservative publisher of the Manchester Union Leader. Like GOA's founder Richardson, Loeb sat on the NRA board. Sidelined by the liberal majority, he'd spent recent years fuming over the group's direction and was eager to help nurture a new player.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

At the group's 1977 annual meeting in Cincinnati, hundreds of rank-and-file from around the country staged what has become known in gun culture lore as "The Cincinnati Revolt." During a long night of speeches and politicking, the membership voted in a new board drawn from the NRA's fledgling lobbying division, the Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), and changed the by-laws in favor of strong political engagement and tighter member control. By morning, the NRA was controlled by a group of rough-edged conservatives committed to fierce political engagement. The NRA returned to Washington to find it was no longer the only gun game in town. There were now two young upstarts on the scene, Alan Gottlieb and Larry Pratt. Since Gottlieb was based in Seattle, and focused his work on direct mail, education and the courts, this left Pratt and the Gun Owners of America as the leading alternative to the NRA.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

In New Hampshire this winter, a group called Pro-Gun New Hampshireis backing a state bill that would create pathways for restoring gun rights to people disqualified by federal laws related to mental health problems. From his perch in Springfield, Pratt saw the bill as too weak, and attacked. Soon thousands of New Hampshire voters received anti-bill mailers with the words, "See a shrink, lose your guns" printed in red ink on the envelope.

Early the following year, the Post featured Pratt in a piece on "The New Right Network" that gathered weekly at the Capitol Hill Club to debate strategy and hatch initiatives. Among more than a dozen names listed in the paper's group profile, Pratt is one of the last still active in public life. Sometimes these initiatives impacted gun rights; other times, Pratt found a gun angle to justify using GOA resources. In 1979, he devised a plan, in cooperation with the American Legislative Exchange Council, which he helped found, to throw up constitutional roadblocks to D.C. statehood. "The amendment would bring in two senators who would probably be minority, and would definitely be liberal on gun control," Pratt said.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">Pratt again contested a seat in the House of Delegates in 1979. Boosted by financing from his friend Jerry Falwell, the Lynchburg evangelist, and ties to what the Post called "Joseph Coors' Heritage Foundation," Pratt outspent other candidates nearly two to one. He won in a local GOP tide. But his colleagues in Richmond had never seen his breed of Republican before. "Larry was part of a small group of far-right ideologues who thought it was apostasy to vote for an MLK holiday," remembers Wiley Mitchell, Republican floor leader in the Virginia Senate from 1976 to 1988.

Other media reports followed, and soon an ex-cop and New York congressman named Mario Biaggi had introduced a bill banning a wide range of armor-piercing ammunition. The gun politics fight that followed reveals how the NRA sought to protect its image from purist groups like GOA, while also maintaining its "inside game" on the Hill.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Behind closed doors, it did the opposite, and began working with Texas Congressman Jack Brooks, a Democrat like Biaggi, to draft another bill that more narrowly targeted handgun ammo, leaving hunting and competitive shooting bullets unaffected (in contrast to the original House bill). The Brooks bill and a sister bill in the Senate, with quiet NRA support, quickly gained bipartisan traction and the backing of the Reagan administration.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">The gun movement was livid. Gottlieb's Citizens Committee, Pratt's Gun Owners of America, and Neal Knox's Firearms Coalition swung into action to derail the compromise bill. They produced mailers and accusations about the "betrayal" of the spirit of Cincinnati. The noise on its right may have been annoying, but it allowed the NRA to play good-cop. In October 1985, the NRA wrote letters to Congressmen reminding them that "Gun Owners of America is generating postcards in opposition to [the House and Senate bills] both of which are supported by the National Rifle Association." In December, a revised version of Biaggi's bill passed the House.

Known as the Firearm Owners Protection Act, it relaxed many of the provisions of the 1968 Act regulating the sale and purchase of firearms. It also outlawed the creation of a federal gun registry. The GOA worked closely with Democratic Rep. Harold Volkmer from Missouri on the final version of the Senate bill introduced in early 1985. The final bill voted on the next year was a mixed bag from the perspective of purists. Though it loosened many regulations, it not only codified the 1934 Act's regulations on automatic fire machine guns, it went further and forbade the sale of machine guns produced after 1986.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">Pratt was a delegate to the 1980 Republican convention and knew figures in and around the new administration. But having a conservative in the White House did not lessen his hatred and distrust of the federal government. Early in Reagan's term, Pratt wrote a fundraiser mailing warning against school-trip visits to the ATF building, where children were given honorary badges and told to be law-abiding citizens. The ATF, Pratt wrote, was "encouraging them to spy on their parents and neighbors. Tomorrow while you're at work these kids could be sneaking around your property [trying to] find out more about your hunting rifle or gun collection . . . [then] sending a SECRET report to the government." Nor did Pratt's ties to the administration stop him from turning his fire on individuals working in the Oval Office. When Reagan advisor Mike Deaver blocked the president from accepting a gift from Gun Owners of America in the form of a Colt Peacemaker revolver, Pratt organized a letter-writing campaign. "Friends, President Reagan does not need people like Mike Deaver on his staff," Pratt wrote to GOA members. "I want to flood the White House with postcards over this outrage. Deaver must go!"</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">Along with his gun work, Pratt was involved during the Reagan years in a wide range of social and foreign policy issues. He was a member of the Council for National Policy, a think tank bringing together leading conservative figures to generate policy for the new administration. In 1980, he founded the Committee to Protect the Family Foundation, which raised money for anti-gay campaigns and assisted the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue with legal defenses. In 1986, during the depths of the AIDS crisis, Pratt bought ads around the country highlighting a D.C. law forbidding health insurance companies from denying coverage and raising rates for people who test positive for HIV. "We don't think AIDS should have civil rights," Pratt told the Los Angeles Times. "The law is a dangerous and outrageous precedent for other wacko legislators to follow. [Those who support it should be] held accountable for voting to support homosexual privileges."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">The following year, Pratt called for the quarantine of people suffering from AIDS.

He assumed a major role in a global operation assisting in the brutal, sometimes extralegal, execution of Reagan's "full-court press" against leftist forces in Central America and beyond. Under the direction of his friend Pat Buchanan, Pratt served as secretary for the privately run Council for Inter-American Security, or CIS.

When it came to the ATF, he saw an American Stasi. But he was happy to help the FBI build files on activists. During Pratt's tenure, the CIS collaborated with the Bureau in tracking undocumented Salvadoran refugees living in the U.S. In his book, Break-ins, Death Threats and the FBI: The Covert War Against the Central America Movement, Ross Gelbspan documented the joint CIS-FBI effort to identify and deport political refugees back to El Salvador.

One CIS allied organization was the Unification Church-funded World Anti-Communist League (WACL) a notorious Who's Who federation of neo-Nazis, war criminals, and rightwing terror outfits. A Washington Post reporter who observed the League's 1979 conference counted "former Nazi SS officers, two neo-fascists from Italy reportedly wanted for terrorist acts, [and] members of Alpha 66, a right-wing Cuban exile group." (The reporter didn't know it at the time, but one of the attendees he quoted, Sam Dickson, was a white power activist and Atlanta-based Klan attorney.) The chair of WACL's US branch was Roger Pearson, a former Heritage Foundation hire of Pratt's friend Paul Weyrich. After revelations of Pearson's neo-Nazi activities, he stepped down, replaced by Elmore D. Greaves, a former organizer with the segregationist Citizens Councils.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Pratt was also active in the United States Taxpayers Party, led by WACL member Howard Phillips. WACL ties carried over into a transitional phase of Pratt's activism: His work hyping Hispanic immigration and bilingual education as national security threats. In the mid-Eighties, Pratt launched another organization, English First, as a project within his Family Foundation to wage a racially charged war against bilingual education. He got help from Anthony Bouscaren, a CIS advisor who also sat on the board of WACL. Bouscaren's publishing credits included numerous articles in the neo-Nazi Roger Pearson's Journal for Social, Political and Economic Studies. This didn't stop more than a dozen GOP legislators, including Dick Armey, from joining the board.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Contemporary human rights observers (and two subsequent Truth Commissions) consider them "death squads" for their role in killing and torturing civilians. But Pratt found much to admire. He combined observations from these visits with similarly impressed notes on the Civilian Home Defense Forces, vigilante patrols in Ferdinand Marcos' Philippines, for a slim book published by the Gun Owners Foundation in 1990, Armed People Victorious. In it, he praises the leadership of Efrain Rios Montt, the country's military leader during 1982 and 1983 who greatly expanded the civil defense patrols. Twenty years later, Guatemalan judges would find Montt guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity. One Amnesty International Report from Montt's tenure detailed massacres in 60 Indian villages over a three-month period, leaving more than 2,500 dead. As late as 2001, Pratt was publically praising Montt as a "powerful Christian leader."

His absence in court surprised no one familiar with the case. Weaver and his family had moved to the wooded mountains of Ruby Ridge to get as far as possible from the government they hated. That, and to advance what the large local population of neo-Nazis and white supremacists called the "Northwest Territorial Imperative" to carve out a racially pure state in the Pacific Northwest. Weaver believed the feds had set him up to use him against his friends in the Aryan Nations, an extremist group based in nearby Hayden Lake. Weaver's response to the repeated summons was blunt:  "Whether we live or whether we die, we will not obey your lawless government."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

This activity would soon produce a national militia movement for which Ruby Ridge functioned as a modern-day Alamo. The most important event in this development was a three-day meeting convened in October 1992 by Christian Identity leader Pete Peters. Christian Identity maintains that Aryans are the true Jews, that blacks are a pre-Adamic subhuman species, and that a race war is coming, after which whites will establish a "Christian government." These were the baseline ideas uniting the 150 far-right leaders who answered Peters' call to action at a YMCA hall in Estes Park, Colorado. Among those present was Larry Pratt. According to media reports, Pratt railed against the 14th Amendment and delivered one of his favorite lines: "The Second Amendment ain't about duck hunting."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Pratt represented a link between these worlds and the rightward edge of the conservative establishment. Pratt's presence, wrote Zeskind, "signaled the transformation of the gun lobby. Organizations like GOA or even the National Rifle Association, which were devoted to the single issue of firearms, would become the leading edge of a far right, multi-issue assault on government institutions and democratic rights.

According to Richard Feldman's gun-lobby memoir, Ricochet, Pratt was part of an elite tri-annual meeting during the late Eighties and early Nineties held in D.C.'s Park Terrace Hotel. The so-called "quilting bees," writes Feldman, "were frank (no-notes-taken), free-ranging discussions of gun politics and industry trends" that brought together Pratt, Alan Gottlieb, gun-writer Joe Tartaro, Neal Knox, and the NRA brass. "We wanted to know where each group stood on an issue — so all of us could keep moving in the same general direction and avoid being sideswiped in legislative conflicts." </font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

When ATF agent Robert Rodriguez infiltrated the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, it was a GOA video that David Koresh played for him. According to a Treasury Department report cited by Zeskind, the video "portrayed ATF as an evil agency that threatened the liberty of U.S. citizens." This view of the agency hardened when the ATF led a siege of the compound in April of 1993 that killed 76.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

The links between the militia scene and the gun groups had deepened to the point where NRA fundraising letters echoed the language of extremist publications on the radical right. In one 1995 letter, NRA executive vice-president Wayne LaPierre described ATF officers as "jack-booted thugs" in "Nazi bucket helmets." But the NRA stopped short of supporting the Christian Identity lawyer Kirk Lyons, who was representing multiple victims of Waco. Pratt and the GOA had no such compunction and donated tens of thousands of dollars to Lyons's white supremacist organization CAUSE (short for the Aryan bastions of Canada, Australia, the United States, South Africa and Europe), "Not $50,000 — but a lot of money for us," Pratt told Rolling Stone in 1995.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">For many, the gun scene's rhetoric of an "evil" and "fascist" government was immediately rendered in more sinister shades when Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck bomb under Oklahoma City's Alfred P.

Three days later, Pratt spoke before a gathering of 600 Christian Identity adherents and assorted radicals convened by Pete Peters at the Lodge of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri. Pratt addressed the "Biblical Mandate to Arm" and seemed to justify McVeigh's act of terror, at the time the bloodiest in American history. According to an account by Michael Reynolds in Playboy, Pratt told the gathered, "The government behaves as a beast. It did in Waco, and we have somebody, whoever it might have been, whatever group it might have been, assuming they can't rely on the Lord to take vengeance."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

During Buchanan's surprising surge in New Hampshire, Pratt was forced to step down after his extremist political views and ties came to light. But his friend hardly threw him under the bus. At a GOP debate in Manchester, Buchanan used his closing comments to defend Pratt as "a devout Christian" who was under attack because of his opposition to gun control. "I would urge the gun owners of New Hampshire and America to stand with Larry Pratt and stand with me," he said.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

The Republican class of 1994 brought a new generation of conservatives to town, including the biggest recipient of GOA PAC funds that cycle, Rep. Steve Stockman of Houston. Stockman and Pratt likely knew each other through the militia scene and other common friends on the radical right. Following the election, both Pratt and Stockman addressed a conference convened by the anti-Semitic Liberty Lobby, including a testimonial banquet in honor of its publication, The Spotlight. Mary Jacoby, who covered Congress for Roll Call, remembers Pratt as "almost a shadow Congressman" during this time. "He was always around, essentially running then-Rep. Steve Stockman's office," she says, "and writing anti-gun control legislation."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

Bush era, Pratt decided to publicly address the revelations about his ties to the racist far-right and assorted extremists. In "Letter to a White Separatist," written in 1997 and published in his 2001 essay collection, On the Firing Line, Pratt tells a racist member of Guns of America that it is faith, not race, which makes a Christian in the eyes of God. "The Christian Identity position you espouse depends upon non-biblical ideas that end up contradicting the Scriptures." Pratt goes on to cite the Bible, as well as his travels to Latin American and South Africa, where he met many good Christians of all races, while "their pagan neighbors are still enslaved in all the works of the flesh that Paul describes in Galatians 5. They live side by side and the contrast is readily apparent."</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">

But his habit of drawing "contrasts" (as in the above quote) can belie an idiosyncratic understanding of race.

According to public tax records, its revenues in recent years have ranged between $1.5 million (2006) to slightly below $2.3 million (2009), compared with an NRA budget of $250 million. Most of this money is generated through direct public support (direct mail, internet appeals, etc.). Annual membership dues of $20, meanwhile, usually make up between one-quarter and one-third of the total. This renders implausible Pratt's claims to having 300,000 members. Even accounting for lifetime memberships and student discounts, the 300,000 figure would bring in millions of dollars in dues alone. No doubt what members he does have are enough to make elected officials wary of crossing him, but it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that the size of the activist army under is command is overstated.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">GOA expenses have tended to equal revenues, with most money being spent on "Membership Expenses" described on tax documents as funds to "update and inform members on the progress, accomplishments, and future programs of the organization." No one appears to be getting terribly rich off of the GOA operation, including the PAC and Foundation. Only five people are included on the employee list on GOA's 2011 990 form, though that number doesn't include lobbyists like Pratt's son, Erich Pratt. While compensation for the Board has tripled from $65,000 in 2004 to over $200,000 in 2011, Pratt's compensation from GOA ($137,500 in 2011) has dipped a bit in recent years, not including additional income from the Gun Owners Foundation and a residual income ($20,000 in 2011) from the defunct English First.</font></a></div><div><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">In membership and resources, GOA lags behind not just the NRA, but also newcomers to the hardline scene like Dudley Brown's National Association of Gun Rights. NAGR claims to offer activists the "best bang for your pro-gun buck." But few in the gun-rights movement agree with this claim. "If you take a look at what NAGR actually does with its money, there isn't a whole lot," says Alan Gottlieb. "I don't see NAGR ever turning bodies out or being anywhere, basically. In all the states we're involved in, if we bump into them one out of every 20 times, I'd say that's a lot. GOA is in more places than NAGR is with less resources."

Those who do not share Pratt's politics appreciate his work, and appear willing to overlook his ties to extremists. Pratt's former role as a contributing editor at a publication of the anti-Semitic United Sovereigns of America hasn't even seemed to complicate his relationship with Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. "None of that strained GOA's relationship with JPFO," says L. Neil Smith, a Libertarian member and writer for JPFO. "I myself would also talk to white nationalists and neo-Nazi groups.

In it, he praises the leadership of Efrain Rios Montt, the country’s military leader during 1982 and 1983 who greatly expanded the civil defense patrols. Twenty years later, Guatemalan judges would find Montt guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity. One Amnesty International Report from Montt’s tenure detailed massacres in 60 Indian villages over a three-month period, leaving more than 2,500 dead. As late as 2001, Pratt was publically praising Montt as a “powerful Christian leader.”</font></a></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a class="fl" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search%3Fq%3Dcache:BuhgBC--AEcJ:www.instagimg.com/user/eva.lomazov/3637116457%2B%26cd%3D14%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26gl%3Dus&ved=2ahUKEwj6mvzD5NfiAhVHba0KHc7xDB4QIDANegQIBxAE" style="text-decoration-line: none; cursor: pointer; display: block; padding: 7px 18px; outline: 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" color="#000000">
