Mayors Against Illegal Guns has begun airing television ads as part of a pledged $12 million campaign to convince viewers to back national measures to end private firearms sales. The spots "feature a gun owner who understands that supporting background checks goes hand in hand with defending the Second Amendment," the group claims on its "Demand Action to End Gun Violence" website.
"I believe in the Second Amendment and I'll fight to protect it," the erstwhile MAIG "gun owner" declares, before showing everyone his big "but" that paves the way for all kinds of infringements.

Yet doing a similar search for MAIG's new country star yields pretty much nothing at this writing to help us learn more about him, and in a celebrity-obsessed culture (just look at some of the features being spotlighted around the column on this page), that's, to put it mildly, curious. The most detail I could find simply refers to him as "the actor playing the role of the Average Joe."
It might not be that remarkable, except "legitimate media" showed the same avoidance to fleshing out "proud defender of the Second Amendment" Jerry Thompson. If you want to find out anything about him, the top hit on a Google search leads back to the Gun Rights Examiner column wanting to know who he is and what his dog in the fight was -- and after a month-and-a-half, he remains an enigma.
My spider sense, something I've learned to heed, says the withholding of information by the advocacy groups and the indifference on the part of "Authorized Journalists" is deliberate, and that to reveal more on the backgrounds of these spokesmen is not in the interests of the antis.
Which means it's in our interest.

Clearly, to anyone who has eyes to see, the guy is a poser with a, uh... beard... and a new flannel shirt... who has poor discipline of his index finger when he’s just sitting down reading a teleprompter and handling a shotgun at the same time.

Fer cryin’ out loud David! What’s hard to see there?
They are liberals.
Liberals lie. (All the time; they can even lie by telling the truth.)
Therefore these guys are lying.
(QED)
So he believes in the 2nd Amendment and will fight to protect it.
Yeah. I’m sure he’ll put up one heck of a fight.
we know he never held a firearm in his life.
