Hillary backing gun control supporter is the brains behind 'satire' movement that's garnered 50,000 signatures
A petition thats 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 arenas 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?'

Don’t that just figure?
Since most spree shooters have been liberal dims, and that most gun violence in this country takes place in areas that often see over 100% voter turnout for dims, I’d say it would be much more dangerous for guns to be at the dim convention.
Besides, if shooting started Hillary would wait several hours before calling for help and then blame the shooting on those filming the convention.
Allow guns into a Republican convention and you'd have guns on the floor. Allow them into a Democrat convention and you'd have an ocean of blood on the floor. That's the difference between the two parties.
There is a certain effectiveness to the movement. It illustrates that totally unregulated gun possession is not practical. And apparently there aren’t many who actually support it.
Wasn’t the guy that a black Trump supporter punched dressed as a KKK?
She is scared to death of Trump.
funny thing is that while I don’t like open carry I have no problem with conceal carry. once you show a hand gun that is a threatening move. when the weapon is concealed it is not threatening and is there for an emergency when it is revealed.

Allowing firearms to the convention is a great idea, as long as Democrats can be identified by a background check, and aren’t allowed to carry. Normal gun-owners are OK, though.
I agree conceal carry is better. Just because you have the right to open carry doesn’t mean it makes more sense to. I’ll just keep mine in my purse.
