NRA Liason for PA, Hohenwarter: Q&A Session

[Sebastian]

As posted in the blog comments section, it was stated that these questions/interview would wait until after Monday. That's fine.

As asked by at least one, possibly two posters, why was Sebastian answering any questions at all? It's one thing to ask for clarification of a posted question, it is entirely different to answer everything in long-form.

I know he (Sebastian) stated that he was not answering for the NRA liason, and that's fine, but why was he answering at all when the stated purpose originally was:

Because some of them I could speak to based on what I know directly. But if you prefer me to shut up then fine

Because some of them I could speak to based on what I know directly.

And I realize that. My point was that if I was told that someday I would get to ask President Obama a series of questions, I would be wholeheartedly disappointed if Robert Gibbs was the only one in the room when I arrived. (No, I'm not likening you to a yes-man adviser, simply illustrating a point).

It's your blog, talk as much as you want. That's why we have them

Guys,

I believe I've been one of the most vocal critics of John Hohenwarter, and of Sebastian's opinions as well. However, I'm gonna ask that everyone cut Sebastian a break. He mentioned last week that he was holding off on the Q&A, because he didn't want John's attention to be taken away from the task at hand, i.e. HB1926. I agreed that such a decision was prudent, as we shouldn't let disagreements amongst ourselves allow us to lose focus.

Furthermore, I believe Sebastian to be acting in good faith by answering some of the question himself. He has contacts within the NRA due to the popularity of his blog, and is in a position to have an understanding of some of the "inner workings" of the NRA, as well as some insight into their decision making processes. I agree that many of the questions asked should be answered by John, but there's no harm in Sebastian answering questions about what he knows. It helps us all to be more educated about the subject so that when John does answer the questions, we're not speaking from a position of ignorance.

Criticize all you want once we have answers from John, but until then I would urge everyone to be patient.

Sebastian thank you for taking the time to post this Q & A.

Not that I agree with what was posted was the way it really happen or events known after the fact would have happen the way it stated now with 20/20 hindsight clarity.

Every story has two sides, its just a matter of how thick the pancake is.


Still going to reserve my comments till after the final outcome of castle doctrine fate is sealed one way or another
