Don’t get me wrong, I muted a Teams meeting and turned off the camera during working hours to listen to it again and again.     My initial thoughts were this is a trap as well!

He needs to retire. You don’t walk into the enemy’s room (the MSM) and play their game, which in this case she was doing leading questions meant to trip him up. He got agitated and then went for the “shut up and I’ll tell you”, then got cut off and the interview ended. He walked into a trap and that’s EXACTLT what this slimy press anti-gun interviewer wanted

Would be gold if he pointed out which demographics are doing the most shooting, and which are being shot the most. It isn't the suburbanites or down state rural citizens doing the shooting.

 

I'm sure heads would explode if you pointed out the facts..

No pun intended. I mean that genuinely.

 

However the truth hurts and I'm sure it would be bent and twisted against us. There was all this outrage about the Highland Park shooting because about half a dozen white people were killed.

 

But that's just a slow weekend in Chicago where women, children, and young adults are killed. AND THE MEDIA/POLITICIANS DO NOT CARE! The media is racist in their own way.

Shot & Killed: 6
Shot & Wounded: 24

This week alone, and the week isn't even over yet!

 

 

Also the lady did need to shut up, she was speaking over him.

To Sasha Hyphen Ann, Respect is earned you dumb troglodyte. It's a two way street.

He should have just laughed and said "I see you've got strong opinions on the matter." 

 

Or he could have said - "Do you wish to keep repeating somebody else's talking points or do you want to learn the truth?"

RP did okay at times and then just self-destructed and had an old man tantrum at a critical time.  She didn't say anything that he should have been unprepared for. I'd say that was a fairly mild interview.  

He can't lead the ISRA anymore.  He should resign.

I have not and will not send another dime to ISRA as long as Pearson is involved. I have sent every membership renewal back for years with that written on the form. Not another dime!

Its' really sad he lost his cool instead of taking the chance to clearly state that constitutionally protected civil rights are not subject to being denied because of public opinion or popularity polls and that the 2nd is no longer subject to means-ends test.

It is obvious to everyone that it’s time for a leader change at ISRA. My worry is who will be the replacement. Perhaps the change needs to be deeper than just the top. But, I know of at least one other person who, it appears, has some influence in the organization that I wouldn’t trust. I can only assume there are others. When is the next annual meeting where lowly members might meet and express their dissatisfaction?

Mauserme's speculation in another thread was Ed Sullivan. Mine was Kathleen Willis, but I might not have been entirely serious (or entirely joking).

Heh. He thinks there are meetings ...

I've yet to hear an interview, friendly or hostile, where he's come off well.  His delivery is not persuasive and even if he remains in charge at the ISRA, he should be looking for someone who can better represent the interests of the members of the ISRA in public settings.

I agree about the interview. The follow up person from the Sun Times made a couple of pro gun points better than he did. Something about a person will feel safer with a rifle than with a smaller weapon for example.

Poor choice of words and could have shut her up and discredited her lies and propaganda by telling her the FBI statistic that only 455 people a year are killed by rifles in the whole country and rifles are not unusual and dangerous. Also there's no such thing as "assault weapons" and it was coined by Hitler for propaganda (Sturmgewehr 44) and used for propaganda to disarm Americans by tyrants. Besides the 7 people killed in Highland Park, has anyone else been killed with rifles in Illinois? According to their logic, are we supposed to ban all pistols because they are used in crimes? Guns save lives and are used 1.7 million times a year for self defense.

Another great opportunity to lay down facts about why crime is going up and why this ban will never work goes down the drain. The 40,000 gun laws comment was good and he should have asked her why those don't work, etc. I ask again how / why does Richard "sit down at the table" Pearson get to be the voice for Illinois gun owners ?

I've done exactly that on CapFax, and anyone who's spent more than 5 minutes there knows exactly what happened, "Thats a separate issue", then instantly blocked from commenting further.

They blocked you from commenting? Apparently they are confident in the logic of their positions, and also their ability to defend them.
