MILITARY TO CHARGE HASAN W. 13 COUNTS OF PREMEDITATED MURDER (Larry and Erich Pratt reside in DC)
The Military is to charge Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan with 13 counts of premeditated murder to which the management of Gun Owners of America (GOA) shouts a collective, "Amen!"
GOA Communications Director Erich Pratt and GOA Executive Director Larry Pratt are announcing their plan to help keep tragedies like this from ever occurring again with their clarion call to: "ARM THE ARMY!"
During your Talk Show interview with Erich or Larry they share that as incredible as it seems, the U. S. Army does not allow their soldiers to be armed while at base, leaving them as sitting ducks for anyone who brings in unauthorized arms, like an enemy like Hasan, or like a small army of Hasan's that someday might attach simultaneously.
“When U.S. troops get back from deployment, the first thing all troops must do is enter what could be called the ‘politically correct’ room, where they surrender their weapons,” said Larry Pratt.
Knowing this as an insider on the base, Major Nidal Malik Hasan also knew his chances were pretty good that he could take more than just one or two lives. And, sadly, he did.
Of all the gun-control laws 2nd Amendment proponents such as Pratt fight on a daily basis, repealing this one, says Pratt, shouldn’t even be up for discussion, given the threats to the nation and the vulnerability of our own defenses when hamstrung by such a senseless gun-free base policy.
“After Fort Hood, I think the point is made,” said both Pratt’s in a statement, giving this clarion call: “Almost all of America’s massacres have taken place in gun-free zones, primarily schools, government buildings and now an Army base. If we are going to protect life, we must permit the disarmed to be armed. We must Arm the Army! Otherwise, Jihadists will continue to single out soft targets where they will be able to kill the greatest number possible.”
Who would’ve thought that one of those “soft targets” would be an Army base? For a nerve-wrenching commentary on this tragic flaw at Fort Hood, call Special Guests today for an interview with Larry Pratt, or the GOA Communications Director, Erich Pratt.
