Here is the second article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become.  Today\u2019s honoree is Larry Pratt from Gun Owners of America, chosen because of his views on the transition of power in America.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"16Treason\"Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America once<\/a> again<\/a> compared President Obama to King George III during an interview with the UK\u2019s Channel 4 News<\/a>. He told reporter Matt Frei that Americans don\u2019t accept the \u201cstatistical argument\u201d that a lack of gun control is linked to higher levels of gun violence, arguing that the Second Amendment is meant to \u201ckeep the government at bay.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the colonists said you\u2019ve become a tyrant, stop it, and when he wouldn\u2019t stop, we shot, and we got rid of your King,\u201d Pratt said, who went on to liken Obama to King George III.<\/p>\n

Pratt said that President Obama \u201cshould remember King George III\u2019s experience\u201d as he \u201cseems to forget that he was democratically elected.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
