In perhaps the craziest response to Newtown yet, Larry Pratt calls for an end to all bans on guns in schools
By David Daley
The advocacy group Gun Owners of America know exactly how the Newtown massacre might have been averted: Guns in schools.
And in the hours after the tragedy, Larry Pratt, the groups executive director is calling on state and federal lawmakers to overturn any bans on guns in schools. More hauntingly, he is suggesting gun control advocates have the blood of little children on their hands.
Here is his statement:
Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands. Federal and state laws combined to insure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newtown school where the children were murdered. This tragedy underscores the urgency of getting rid of gun bans in school zones. The only thing accomplished by gun free zones is to insure that mass murderers can slay more before they are finally confronted by someone with a gun.
The Gun Owners of America claim a national membership of 300,000 people.

Funny how these heroes are never around when needed. Maybe it's because they're cowards, or about as real as a unicorn.

Rambo Syndrome. Common among people who live in fantasy land, or are murderous sociopaths.
