Hillary backing gun control supporter is the brains behind 'satire' movement that's garnered 50,000 signatures
A petition that’s been circulating for a week on Change.org is asking the Quicken Loans Arena to “Allow Open Carry of Firearms at the Quicken Loans Arena during the RNC Convention in July.” Posted by an anonymous petitioner who calls himself The Hyperationalist, the petition caught fire when it became a darling of talk radio and right wing blogging. The petition, which calls the arena’s ban on weapons “a direct affront to the second amendment” that “puts all attendees at risk” has surpassed 51,000 signatures and is racing toward its goal of 75,000.
But the identity of its anonymous progenitor has not been fully cracked. Until now. The petition is the brainchild of a Democratic activist and blogger named James P. Ryan, who claims to be satirizing rather than supporting the idea that Republicans should bring weapons into their nominating convention.
In an interview with Newsweek, in which he went only by “Jim” and declined to reveal his full identity, Mr. Ryan claimed to be a Democrat who is not a gun owner and is “absolutely” in favor of gun control.
“I am passionate about gun control and discouraging gun violence,” Mr. Ryan told the Observer. “When talk of a contested convention started brewing, I started thinking. On March 3rd, I threw a joke up on Facebook and Twitter and said, ‘hey guys, you really want guns at your contested convention?'”

I can not wait until Donald Trump is done with the “left overs” and turns his attention on the Democrats! Popcorn! Need more popcorn!
I KNEW it was a leftist who started this petition! Told my wife so about a week ago.
I knew it. All of this open carry push isn’t coming from conservatives. What ever happened to that other instigator, Adam Kokesh?
He says it was a “joke.” More like a dirty trick, I’d say. And I’ll bet Hillary knew about it.
I can see how his intention was to make Republicans’ pro gun stance look hypocritical. But this isn’t up to Republicans. It’s up to the Secret Service. And this is their security policy regardless of who the candidate is for any side.
Pure Alinksy, Hillary's hero:
On one such occasion in the spring of 1972 at Tulane University's annual week-long series of events featuring leading public figures, students asked Alinsky to help plan a protest for a scheduled speech by George Bush, then U. S. representative to the United Nations, a speech likely to be a defense of the Nixon Administrations's Vietnam War policies [Note: the Nixon Administration was then negotiating with the North Vietnamese Communists to arrive at a peace agreement-DH]The 'DH' who inserted the editorial comments in the above-quoted material is none other than David Horowitz.The students told Alinsky that they were thinking about picketing or disrupting Bush's address. That's the wrong approach, he rejoined-not very relative and besides, causing a disruption might get them thrown out of school [Not very likely-DH]
He told them, instead, to go hear the speech dressed up as members of the Ku Klux Klan, and whenever Bush said something in defense of the Vietnam War, they should cheer and wave placards, reading 'The K.K.K. supports Bush.' And that is what the students did with very successful, attention-getting results.
Actually it’s quicken arena.. And regardless of who started it, either you are pro-gun or believe in gun-free zones.
I believe the petition is correct.
It would be a fantastic backfire on Hillary and the Democrats if admittance required the delegates to be carrying a firearm and the event concluded peaceably. Imagine the Texas delegation sitting there armed with matching AR-15 rifles and sidearms as the MSM interviews them.
Indeed. The desires of the secret service should always trump the constitution. It would suck if they were inconvenienced in any way.
They still do that. When I lived in CA and there were tea party events, we were ready to recognize these plants dressed like KKK or whatever, then we would surround them with ready made signs with “plant” before the news could show the racist tea party non stop.
It's only satire when you get caught
Closely related to another Old Democrat motto
It's only illegal if you get caught.
And if a shootout did start, I would bet money on a leftist starting it.
Don’t care who started it...it is STILL a GOOD IDEA.
I figured it was a leftist as well. But he shot himself in the foot.
He has such a deluded vision of reality that he thinks he scored a “victory” when all he did was show how deep the commitment to defending the Second Amendment is.
Poor, deluded fool. A leftist version of a useful idiot.
It’s only illegal if you get caught, and your liberal judge buddy finds you guilty!
TRUMP is going to need those “PLANT” signs. Often fire is used to fight fire.
They will keep up their merry pinko pranks, until the Leftist get what’s coming to them.
Then America will have the last laugh.
