Not to mention the fact that Rendell was upstaged by SCOTUS who agreed to hear Heller on the same day he was grandstanding to his leftie buddies in Philly.

The Philly Daily News ran an editorial the other day Basically saying the same thing that cryin Brian said i.e. the defeat in Harrisburg was really a victory.

As for taking newbs to the range, I’ve taken the entire crime pod from the Daily News to the range for a firearms workshop and shooting exercise on the range; can’t get the opinion folks to join however…

Lastly, as a Jersey guy I really hope that y’all are orgazined and active about your 2A rights. I’ve lived the Jersey experience and would not wish that on my good friends in PA! Let me know what I can do to help.

[...] Seems it was no accident (and is something antigun hacks like Rendell and our own dear Gov. O’Malley seem to forget all too often). At some point the will of the people does have to prevail. [...]

I’m going to guess phone calls. How they conducted the calls I don’t. I wouldn’t believe anything from this poll unless they release how it was done.

Okay, so I looked at the poll, but it still doesn’t say HOW it was done :)

It does tell me the questions that were asked and in what districts, but it doesn’t tell me if people were contacted by phone between the hours of 1PM-3PM or if they were surveyed as they were walking into the Christian Bookstore *grins* Both of which will give skewed results. Did they go down a phone list supplied by CeaseFire? Heck, it could have been a postcard mailed to folks that needed to be returned and once they got 100 back they stopped counting.

*shrugs*

I linked to a copy of the poll he was using the other day.

I started to watch the video of it on TV last night, but gave up after a little while because it was pretty silly (and I had laundry to fold before going to bed)

Some thoughts though:

a) The chairman KNEW that it was just a show and that votes would not be changed based on what anyone said.

b) I can’t believe that it’s 2009 already. (Ed Rendell said that he had testified before them in 1999 when he was mayor of Philadelphia and was appearing before them again a DECADE later. *shrugs*)

c) Does anyone have a copy of the NRA e-mail that uses the word demonize in it?

d) Did he REALLY say that representative Daley’s district supported gun control? I find that hard to believe. I also wonder how the sampling was done. Was it a convenience sample? When were people called?

I think in large part Rendell was used to getting his way in Philly and being able to run over anything or anybody to simply score political points. Nice to see he’s inspiring the opposition to get active.

100 to 1. That’s some good news right there!
