Larry Pratt: Obamacare Will Force Gun Owners To Undergo Electroshock Therapy
Read Time:1 Minute, 4 Second
Larry Pratt, Executive Director of the fringe group Gun Owners of America, recently claimed that President Barack Obama’s health care reform law would force gun owners to undergo electroshock therapy.
During an episode of the Talk to Solomon Show on Tuesday, Stan Solomon noted that The Fort Myers News-Press had reported last week that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) was becoming a popular treatment for bipolar disorder.
“There’s saying, hey, it’s quicker than some drugs and all that type of thing,” Solomon observed. “But so is a bullet.”
“But the fact is, I am telling you, I believe that we’re going to see things get worse before they get better, and you’re going to see people that are going to be — quote — unquote — incorrigible, however they define incorrigible, maybe resisting when people come crashing into your house,” he told Pratt. “Your thoughts? Because we’re becoming very much an able-to-defend-yourself and an unable-to-defend-yourself country.”
“Well, I think part of that is what we’re seeing in Obamacare,” Pratt agreed. “This is going to be what you’re talking about several times over.”

If that statement was made in Blighty I’m not certain that I wouldn’t agree but, as it is America, it is clearly nuts.
God works in mysterious ways Jennings. WE may have no choice but to force God on the infidels at the point of a gun for their own good. It’s okay when us Christians do that because we’re right.
That’s how the muslims learned to “Spread Islam by the sword” from christians.
Joe, your God certainly does work in mysterious ways, so mysterious that only gun-toting, armed-to-the-teeth republicans can understand how She works. There must be something divine about gun metal and bullets.
Whenever I see a babble quote, I know all rational discourse is at an end.
Matthew 7:15.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Also beware of paranoids who willfully deceive themselves, then spout excrement from every orifice.
The great irony is all us righties hate Malcolm X but we are willing to advance our stuff “by any means necessary.” If it brings more guns and God to America then it isn’t really a lie. It’s a righteous oratory.
Joe says: ” If it brings more guns and God to America then it isn’t really a lie. But Joe, wouldn’t it better to just bring God to America, then there wouldn’t be any need for guns?
America already has far too much god. That’s what is maing it such a miserable place to live.
As always with any wacko of any stripe, logic and facts mean nothing to them. Sometimes it seems as though they are completely unaware of the need for either.
