GRNC’s Paul Valone responds to Michael Luo’s anti-gun hit piece

In response to Michael Luo’s anti-concealed carry hitpiece in the NY Times, Paul Valone, President of Grass Roots North Carolina, responds point by point.



Watch the whole thing. I get a mention.

Now it can be told. I actually got Michael Luo to respond to me via email. I used my real name and my regular email account, not hiding my identity in any way. I repeatedly asked him for his data, citing the exact same thing that Paul says in the video. Luo’s hitpiece will be used as the central argument against HR822.  Luckily for me he didn’t Google my name until he’d already given us the smoking gun. He was actually pretty reasonable sounding until I finally backed him into a corner about the data. He refused point blank to give it to me, and told me that it would be a different story if I was a lawmaker or a police officer. So I asked Paul Valone to put me in touch with a NC state representative.

So what do you say to an author who refuses a State legislator the data needed to do his job? When that legislator asked for the data, with a mind to crafting new and better legislation along with demanding answers from the State Bureau of Investigation, Luo refused.

I think that tells you everything  you need to know about the honesty of his work. He likely refused because he knew that if the legislator or the SBI got his list of names, he’d get torn to shreds. If he was confident in his work, he’d be proud to stand behind it. He’d view that work with the same pride and confidence that a certain bulletproof vest manufacturer just showed in his work. Instead, Luo hides. I will let you draw your own conclusions from that.
