I went back and found it at the highroad.org where I saw it a few days past. I don't know if its authentic or not.

I should have included it in the original post

Here is the source link

Heres the highroad thread

I wrote Mr. Ross asking if that was actually his article and he just wrote me back. With a few hours.

From me:

I recently read a post from the thehighroad.org with a speech written by you. I reposted this speech to another forum that I read and there seems to be a discrepancy by some of the members that it was actually you who wrote it.

Can you tell me if this is your work or not

Thanks

Oh by way the loved your book


His response

Yes, it's mine. I think it's interesting that some are calling me a "sellout" because I point out the good and not just the bad. If you think I'm a sellout, ask yourself this: If Brady, Schumer, Clinton, Feinstein, etc. read my article, do you think they would be PLEASED about what it said?

Yes, the police can have a 14" M16 and you have to make do with a semi. But guess what, a 20" AR-15 is a BETTER GUN. It has a better trigger, is more controllable, and the velocity is much higher. Yes, you ought to be able to own anything, but the fact that you can't doesn't change the fact that:

1. There are many great guns now that weren't available at any price not long ago. S&W's .500 Magnum--if you wanted to craft a response to the HUD Agreement that says "Fuck you, strong letter to follow" could *you* dream up anything better? And a 27-ounce .44 mag? Meet my new carry gun!;

2. Ammo is much cheaper and better;

3. There has been a sea change in sentiment among the public, especially women, regarding Right-To-Carry, which is rapidly becoming law in every state;

4. The best legal minds are now on our side and up to speed. Silviera VS Lockyer may be the case that restores everything.

News Flash: Guns and gunowners have ALWAYS been under assault since at least the end of WWI. Read your history. When the .357 came out in 1935 we got the same BS about "No one needs a gun this powerful." Now we have it in an 11-ounce J-frame. There are always people who try to chill your rights. That's reality, ever since the founding of our country. Don't whine about it, spit on your hands and get in the fight.

Post this if you want.

John Ross
