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.

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?
God bless and comfort the survivors of this tragedy. The Texas authorities are enacting ways to stop the nuts from getting into schools and they are being proactive on safety programs. Not like the Florida shooting where they immediately blamed the gun and enacted laws accordingly. Hats off to Texas for using sense in dealing with this tragedy.
GOD BLESS ALL OF THOSE WHO WERE AFFECTED BY THIS INCIDENT. If we had politicians and school administrators that were really concerned about the children instead of their damn salaries this type of incident would be few and far between. The normal citizen is afraid to look or say something because they may get sued. Can any amount of money replace the child lost to this type of activity NO. So get off your butts and REQUIRE those who can make a difference DO SO. We started by electing an American for president in 2016 so let us continue and… Read more »
I know one thing that won’t be advanced – the ages of these children.
Tonight, lets all make sure we tuck our AR-15s into bed. Perhaps read it a nice book. Clearly, these things are more important and loved than our children.
We all will be judged by our actions. Evil wins when good men (and women) do nothing.
