Larry Pratt is currently the executive director of Gun Owners of America, a U.S. based firearms lobbying group.
In the 1996 U.S. presidential election, Pratt served as a co-chairman of Pat Buchanan's campaign. In February 1996, the liberal Center for Public Integrity issued a report that claimed he appeared at two meetings organized by white supremacist and militia leaders. Pratt denied any tie to racism, calling the report a smear aimed at hurting Buchanan before the New Hampshire primary election. However, Pratt was forced to resign his position with the Buchanan campaign.
Political Research Associates' website lists several organizations that Pratt has founded: English First, Gun Owners of America, U.S. Border Control, and Committee to Protect the Family.[1]
In 2001, TIME Magazine reported Pratt to be president of English First, an organization within the English-only movement.[2] The organization was founded in 1986, and works to pass English Only amendments at both state and federal levels.
Pratt is the author of Armed People Victorious (1990) and Safeguarding Liberty: The Constitution and Citizen Militias (1995).
