Re: Infighting threatens imminent avalanche of gun control in PA
According to NineseveN:
“Greg here has engaged in nothing more than ad hominem propaganda”
I believe you are accusing me of the very thing you yourself are doing. I cited specific facts, relevant history, and asked honest questions. In response, your whole argument is profane sexual reference and a vague accusation that I’m attacking someone else for my own interests.
What interests are those? I’ve always operated as a volunteer, and have spent countless hours and many thousands of dollars over the years that I couldn’t afford in an effort to help protect our rights. All leaders in PSA, FOAC, and ACSL are unpaid volunteers. Men like Kim Stolfer and Harry Schneider have made large sacrifices on behalf of our civil rights as gun owners. Andy Barniskis, on the other hand, says he wants a paid position.
NineseveN, were you even around, let alone involved, when Barniskis was running the Mifflintown meetings? You guys preach about openness, yet Andy ran secret meetings and engaged in the same sort of “intrigues” that he likes to accuse others of engaging in.
And speaking about openness, you mention that Andy sent out a reply to my last message more than 8 and one half hours ago (as of the time you posted). Interesting how you and he pontificate about open debate, yet he has not sent that reply to me. I guess I will have to call around and see if someone can forward it to me.
I guess if Andy can’t stand the heat, he will kick you out of the kitchen. He should re-read his post concerning the fragile flowers. He has kicked me off his mailing list, and didn’t even send me his response.
One other thing, NineseveN: name one single legislator in Pennsylvania who has done more for gun owners than has Daryl Metcalf. I simply can’t believe you mention his office’s communication about the Kenney cosponsor memo and then say, “should we have not been a little concerned?” just like it’s some kind of smoking gun impugning Rep. Metcalf’s integrity.
Since you seem challenged in sorting out these matters, let me spell it out for you: 1.) Daryl Metcalf is adamantly opposed to mandatory training; 2.) Rep. Kenney floated a memo announcing his intention to introduce legislation requiring mandatory training, which the antis and Ed Rendell are certain to push; 3.) Rep. Metcalf instructed his office to send out a communication to concerned activists to give them a HEADS-UP on this bad legislation being introduced.
Why do you have a problem with THAT? One of the favorite themes on Andy’s list is the lack of WARNINGS going out on bad bills that are being introduced. So what’s the problem here?
