See the face of the right-wing gun culture in the United States:

Larry Pratt, the former executive director of Gun Owners of America, added Hillary Clinton this week to the list of public officials who he has warned will face violence from gun owners if they impose regulations on guns.

Pratt, who said last month that if conservatives lose at the “ballot box” they might “have to resort to the bullet box,” said in an interview on the “Crosstalk” radio program on Tuesday that Clinton’s support for some gun regulations may be an attempt to disarm civilians so that she can impose tyranny.

The Second Amendment means, he told Clinton, that “if you even try to go off in a tyrannical direction, the Constitution protects the people’s right to protect the people themselves against people like you.”

-Snip-

Pratt has made similar comments about other public officials including President Obama, Rep. Carolyn Maloney and Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland.

This asshat represents the fine, upstanding Americans who make up the irresponsible, extremist segment of the "responsible" gun owners in our country. Along with the NRA right-wing gun nuts, they represent a sizable portion of the gun culture on our streets, and in our communities.

They are dangerous individuals bearing dangerous lethal weapons.
