According to Larry Pratt - head of Gun Owners of America - guns don't kill people; gun-control laws kill people.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Pratt if the lack of stricter gun legislation that has been passed by Congress since the Newtown shooting was a victory for the gun lobby. In response, Pratt said this:
"We're not really going to be able to talk about a victory until we get rid of the laws that prohibit people from having guns to protect themselves in schools and in other places. Every one of our mass murders in our country has occurred in places where guns are prohibited."
Allow me to break down Mr. Pratt's logic:
1) Guns don't kill people; gun-control laws kill people
2) "Every one of our mass murders in our country has occurred in places where guns are prohibited."
3) These mass murders happened via guns
4) Even though these mass murders happened via guns, guns don't kill people
5) The only way to stop these mass murders via guns is for more people to have guns, which again don't kill people
6) In other words, guns, which are responsible for mass murders, don't kill people; gun-control laws do, because the more people whom have guns which mass murder, but don't kill people, the less mass murders that will occur.
I tried, Mr. Pratt. I tried...
