I don't think they come over here often, DR. They're pretty busy with other things. If you want to ask them something, email or call them.

By the way, did you check their Youtube page?
I'll work on my footage tonight for you. The lighting quality is bad, so I'll just put up a still image. You can still hear it just fine.
im sure theyre busy but they should at least post the videos from an event they sponsored if they were to remain competent. Ill try emailing them but im not keeping up my hopes.
i checked their youtube and no they still dont have it there. As a matter of fact they dont even have Ron Paul's speech there. I had to search on youtube to find it uploaded by a supporter. this is at its best incompetence imho
Thanks, been waiting for this myself!
As a lifetime GOA member and great admirer of that organization's accomplishments, I can say that you aren't missing much from Larry's speech. Even Mark Mix was better at Liberty Forum, considering that RTW laws are not necessarily an easily sell to a room filled with libertarians. Thomas Woods was without question the best speaker, and should have been RP's lead-in. Larry is a great political mind, but not the most compelling speaker.

Larry Pratt and Bruce Fein
Thank you ladyjade,
Much obliged.
I can't argue with you here, you are entirely correct. What needs to change is what captures our attention. Obama is a great speaker.Quote:

Believe me, 2nd Amendment issues are primarily what capture my attention, because I see them as the very basis of a free society. But for one, it is a less nuanced argument -- very simply that unabridged right to secure our own life, liberty and property cannot be infringed if we are to have freedom. That doesn't position doesn't leave a lot of room for new creative discussion or fresh rhetoric. Secondly, even if rhetoric where called for, Larry Pratt probably isn't the person I'd choose to deliver it. An effective mail campaign to make an anti-gun politician hurt, sure. But an invigorating and effective speech on the vital importance of RKBA, probably not. Hell, there's probably someone at nrAWOL that could give more compelling pro-gun speeches, and they are the most faux-conservative gun-grabbing group out there.
maybe he wasnt Obama or Hitler. but it was a great speech. I never knew for example that 150k vets were disarmed or that the NRA was the one who worked hard to disarm them. He knows a lot of good info. I usually listen to speeches because I learn new things not because someone is good at reading from a piece of paper
Maybe I was taking that info for granted because I get mail and e-mail from GOA, NAGR, and a number of other small, principled gun groups, and am employed within the freedom movement. To me, nothing he said was news. I should hope that freedom movement folks keep watch on tyranny at every turn, but I recognize we all miss things from time to time.
What I will say is that Liberty Forum exemplified a wonderful coming together of single-issue liberty groups underneath the umbrella of C4L. The conservative movement needs that sort of principled unification.
