I took my concern straight to their Facebook page. Nothing there to assuage me from my concerns.
For me this re the two top “Disconnected from reality” quotes from the exchange:
Rob Pincus: Actually, they are shaking in their boots, Miguel…..
That is the reply to me saying “The Opposition has to be laughing his ass off.” This is well after the State of Virginia went full Blue thanks to Mike Bloomberg’s money. Gun Control is now the full owner of a State and Rob believes that parading Gross in the rally has them quaking inside their mommy sandals.
Jeff Knox: I completely understand your concern Miguel. He was at the front of the opposition for a long time. I’m very disappointed that no one in the “mainstream” media seems to have noticed that a top gun control leader just apparently switched sides.
He was actually thinking the Rally was going to be covered in a good light or at all? He believes that the Media was going to be fair to Gun Rights and give them equal billing? And Jeff Knox did not start in the Gun Rights issue yesterday, but by God he cannot still believe we are going to be covered in any positive light. Where has he been hibernating all these years that he missed this memo?
To me, both Pincus and Knox appear to be disconnected from what is going on.
I don’t know what else to say without incurring in foul language.
Oh look, a ‘former’ gun control advocate is working on creating another ‘Third way’ ‘common sense’ organization. How many times have we seen that just prior to an election?
I’m with you on this one Miguel. Gross is a weasel.
On Mon, Nov 4, Town Hall posted Cam Edwards/Bearing Arms video featuring an interview with Dan Gross. That video had a plethora of dissent in the comments. The Monday video was removed and a new video was uploaded on Nov 5th; presto, dissent minimized.
I am reminded of the saying “if your cause is so righteous, why lie?” uttered by a very wise man sometime in the not too distant past.
And, Pincus working for a year in secret, is tantamount to a lie. It is a lie of omission, it is a misdirection. If everything was fully on the up and up, Pincus would not have hidden it in any way. No one would have.
I was actually there, and everybody there had no problem with him. Because he said he supports the Second Amendment, and no longer supports gun bans.
I don’t understand how you can be pissed off when you weren’t there, and can’t see how awesome it is to have the former head of the Brady campaign out there in public actually switching sides. This should be celebrated! Who cares if he’s not 100% on our side yet. This is a HUGE win.
Oh, I don’t know, possibly because we have seen the gun-grabbers lie, lie, and lie again in pursuit of their goals? Is there any supplementary information that he had a ‘road to Damascus’ moment?
I know redemption should be for everyone, but I’d like to see some actual behavior to back up this claim of ‘I’m on your side, guise, honest!’.
So, after 30-40 years of lies, suddenly he is telling the truth?
Real Estate is available in the Everglades in case you feel like buying some.
Liberals/Democrats don’t compromise. Somewhere the NRA got an idea that compromise is a good idea. The NRA should stick with the message “It’s our constitutional right and you shall not infringe” Period and end of story. Fuck those commy liberal bastards.
You do realize this was not done by the NRA, right?
