Springfield, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Executive Director of Gun Owners of America (GOA) Erich Pratt stated the following after the tragic shooting at the high school in Santa Fe, Texas:
“Everyone at Gun Owners of America grieves with those who lost loved ones. Our prayers go out for families of those affected. It’s heartbreaking to see innocent lives lost.
“Sadly, the media is focused on this shooting, and they continue to do so because they will use it to advance their gun control agenda. Some outlets are continuing to cite the fake number of mass shootings in 2018, which was refuted by The Washington Post after the tragic Parkland shooting.
“Unhappily, the mainstream media has ignored potential mass shootings that were stopped by armed personel, such as the school resource officers who stopped shooters in Maryland and Illinois.
“Gun Owners of America remains firmly committed to protecting our Second Amendment rights and urges Congress to pass the ‘Safe Students Act’ to repeal gun-free schools, and for Texas to pass Constitutional Carry.”
Erich Pratt, or another Gun Owners of America spokesman, is available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over 1.5 million members and activists.

The justifications given during these debates do not help the cause. Reminding people that other massacres were carried out using handguns makes it more likely they will be included in any new attempts at restrictions. Reminding people that we need weapons for government resistance efforts, unfortunately paints you as a paranoid lunatic. We need to keep reminding people that law abiding citizens, that comply with all current conditions, have the right to own whatever they want. If you want to own a tiger, submarine, castle, machine gun, rocket car are all possible. As long as they are owned/used responsibly. Better… Read more »
Want to stop all the shootings……get rid of ALL DEMOCRATS!!!
Want to stop all the shootings……get rid of ALL DEMOCRATS!!!
Yep. What Douglas said.
Gun laws, There are 111 pages ,and counting, in N.Y.S. 110 and counting should be thrown OUT along with the people who wrote them.
The simple solution does not exist, but the best start on reducing the affects of a mass shooting is to have everyone who wishes to be armed is armed 24 hours of the day, no matter where they are. No “gun free zones” ANYWHERE. We need to address the morals issues plaguing the country, not the gun control issue.
Hey Paul how many kids will be tucked into bed tonight that their mothers had them aborted at planned parenthood?
When do we hold the parents responsible.
As the news reported the SantaFe shooter used his father’s guns.
I feel gun safety in the house is as important as in the field.
Texas has laws in place of accessibility of firearms of minors in the house.
THE GUNS SHOULD BE LOCKED OR IN A GUN SAFE!
So many school shooters have simply walked out of there home with weapons.
When are they going to blame the students who tormented this kid and made him a loner why is nobody talking about that !!!!
We grieve for Santa Fe Texas. EVIL is among us! We need to be prepared to meet evil with deadly force. Train and arm some of the faculty, advertise the fact, and evil will go to a “This is a gun free area.” Whatever became of common sense?
