I saw this posted on Men's News Daily, a pro gun rights and father's rights news site. It's one man's report of his experience speaking as the designated pro-2nd Amendment speaker at the Duquesne University 2008 Gun-Control Symposium. Only he wasn't quite the slathering token that they expected. Here's his report and there's a lot to learn from it. Full Text

The National Symposium on Handgun Violence was held at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, on April 9, 2008. Ten of the leading gun-control advocates in the nation were scheduled for a coordinated review of “reasonable” limits on the right to keep and bear arms, led by Jim Brady himself, along with David Hemenway of Harvard and a host of others. News of the event and its surprise ending (covered at the end of this report) has not made national headlines.
A courageous decision was made to provide “balance,” which meant the organizers eventually found me (thanks to a referral from Alan Gura, Dick Heller’s attorney in the D.C. gun-ban case). They got me last-minute non-stop tickets from Phoenix, a room (a very nice room I might add), and 15 minutes at the podium. Ten against one. Hah. I had them outnumbered.
