Lawrence D. Pratt (born November 13, 1942) is the executive director emeritus of Gun Owners of America, a United States–based firearms lobbying group, and a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates.

In 1981, he ran alongside fellow Republican delegates Robert E. Harris and Jim Dillard in the newly drawn 51st district, but he received fewer votes than Democrat Vivian Watts.

[2] In October 1992, at Estes Park, Colorado, Pratt was noted as a moderate conservative presenter at a three-day meeting organized by Christian Identity pastor Pete Peters in the wake of the Ruby Ridge incident.

In February 1996, the liberal Center for Public Integrity issued a report that claimed Pratt spoke at meetings organized by white supremacist and militia leaders.

In Northern Ireland in 2004, Pratt accompanied loyalist and paramilitary sympathizer Willie Frazer on a tour of South Armagh whilst calling for the Protestant population to be routinely armed.

[14][15][16] A January 13, 2001, article in The Guardian explored Pratt's relationship with then-Attorney General nominee John Ashcroft, stating they knew each other from the CNP.

[13] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Pratt used his Committee to Protect the Family organization to raise $150,000 for the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue which paid $50,000 in court-imposed fines.

The day after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Pratt stated: "Gun control supporters have the blood of little children on their hands.

Federal and state laws combined to ensure that no teacher, no administrator, no adult had a gun at the Newtown school where the children were murdered.
