Now for a response from lawyer Nick Roumel to Faldo and my lambasting of his desire for a "gun violence summit."

Thanks for writing. You've mixed up the concepts of a summit and a debate. My intent may be clearer by quoting from the press release to the summit:

     “Mass shootings of innocent people have become part of America’s culture. So are the well-meaning but predictable responses. Victim advocates call for stronger laws. Gun rights advocates invoke the Second Amendment. But what if both sides got together to try and stop the violence?”

     We start with the premise that all people want to reduce senseless violence. The hallmark of bipartisanship is to start with a common goal. Our 2018 “Gun Summit” seeks to find common solutions.

     “This summit will bring together advocates of all stripes, from recreational gun owners, to public health professionals, educators, faith leaders, law enforcement, and political leaders. The goal of helping to shape public policy and make recommendations to the powers that be. We will present panels from all those who are willing to roll up their sleeves, get past the rhetoric, and reduce gun violence without compromising constitutional rights. Can it be done? At the end of the day, we will ask Michigan’s gubernatorial candidates what they think. “

     One constant in American culture is the incredible diversity of our people, from their background to their opinions. We may not change minds, but we do hope to find our common values, and work together to make a safer society.

I believe a debate is the opposite of that concept, but you persist in using that term. In support, you engage in a lot of labeling and name calling. In lieu of facts, you cite anecdotes (and one quote from a Japanese general that has never been substantiated). 

Behind your rhetoric, I do see glimmers of hope - that in addition to one particular constitutional right, you also care about safety and security for all Americans. I'll take that to the bank of common ground, and run with it. As a constitutional lawyer (and gun owner), I fight for your freedoms every day. Let's fight for freedom and safety together.

Once again, I appreciate you writing. - Nick Roumel

You will have to wait until next week for my retort. But until then, amuse yourself by going back over this self proclaimed freedom and Constitution supporter and count the number of liberal/communist catch phrases you can find.

Nick thinks we need political leaders and gubernatorial candidates in the summit to get the job done. No one would get a word in edge wise with those diarrhea of the mouths opening their sewers. He also fails to realize how having those people in the room will immediately make everyone "choose up sides." 

 Ah, the rose colored glasses of liberalism blind even the most well intentioned people.
