Things That Make You Go 'Hmmm...'
We talked yesterday about that Change.org petition demanding open carry at the Republican convention. I still maintain it is a product of "progressives," designed to exploit venue realities, to embarrass, and to engage in some good old-fashioned Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule.
First, we don't know who is behind it -- the petition originator lists himself as "NA" and does not share his identity with anyone he doesn't know. My hometown paper identifies the sponsor as "Americans for Responsible Open Carry," a group I've never heard of that doesn't appear to have any other sort of web presence. In any case, according to Fox News, the Akron Beacon-Journal is the go-to source for the name, so I asked reporter Doug Livingston how he ferreted it out. He replied that the name has apparently been changed. Unfortunately, a petition url cache search does not offer independent corroboration to further help us determine who is really behind this.
[UPDATE: "Hyperationlist" claims credit while maintaining trolling anonymity.]
Another reason to have doubt: The petition uses the phony, demonizing term "assault weapons" without quotation marks -- something right out of the gun-grabber lexicon, and something no experienced gun rights advocate would do.
There's something else we've come to expect: In all the news stories about this petition, there's no shortage of comments hoping for violence and death as "just deserts" for anyone daring to support the right to keep and bear arms. This report also has its share. And one guy stands out.
Meet Jeffrey Pilz. I can't tell you much about him, because he only shares his Facebook details with "friends," but he certainly has an interesting buildup of hostility eating at him, as evidenced by two separate comments:
Curious thing about Jeffrey. One thing we can tell from his Facebook page is he has a friend from Mason City, IA. That in itself would be totally insignificant, except when considered with one other factor, it rises to the level of interesting coincidence, and possibly a lot more.
That's because we have another story out of Mason City, IA, featuring one Jeffrey Pilz, an academic of sorts who has been arrested twice -- once for harassment related to threatening messages, unwanted contact and stalking, and the second time for violation of a no contact order to pressure his target into dropping charges. He was jailed after a plea deal that included a mandatory mental health evaluation. It was a misdemeanor charge, but restraining and mental eval orders generally have an effect on legal gun possession, at least for a prescribed period.
The faces in the two photos certainly resemble each other. The Pictriev similarity meter agrees:
What are the odds? But either way, the bloodthirsty comments from the first "Jeffrey Pilz" sure do indicate some anger management issues, like his visceral hatred for others is actually a projection, and like he's a total headcase loser ready to snap. If these two photos are of the same guy, the people responsible for evaluating his "progress" (maybe Magistrate Ronald J. Wagenaar?) ought to know how he's "reformed," because all too often we’ve seen tragedies that could have been prevented if warning signs hadn’t been ignored.
Isn't that something we're told is "common sense gun control"?

That said, my money says this is a ploy by conveniently anonymous antis designed to embarrass the GOP, the candidates and NRA with charges of hypocrisy (and in many cases they would not be wrong). The rhetoric parody is pretty much dead on.
They know they won't have a problem getting gun owners to sign, and the more who do, the more an agenda is served. They also know there's no place in the country big enough to host this where the venue owners would allow it.
It's a pretty clever "Gotcha!" But I'm betting the fake egalitarians behind it don't want open or concealed carry anywhere, unless it's by one of their precious monopoly of violence enforcers.

[More]Ol' Liz sure is getting a lot of media play for someone whose "Awesome" PAC Twitter feed, created last year, only has 506 followers, and whose last commercial garnered a whopping 427 YouTube views.
That's some strategist.
Interesting -- she shares a seat (no pun intended) on the GoProud advisory council with Grover Norquisling. And they have even more in common:
Mair’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, wide-open-borders immigration policies, and public advocacy for the Senate “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill...She doesn't explain how a pathway to citizenship for a 70-80% Democrat/anti-gun demographic isn't going to Make America Awful.
One factor among many Mair just doesn't seem to get is that Melania Trump is hardly seen as a liability, and this attack comes across more like unprincipled catty jealousy than anything else. All she's "uncovered" is an opportunity that wouldn't have been offered to her.

Short of the Goal
As we near the end of March, we find ourselves approaching the end of our first quarter. We’ve seen great success so far in 2016 to raise the funds necessary to defeat Bloomberg’s Background Checks, but we are not yet at our quarterly fundraising goal. [More]My unsolicited two cents:
Polling shows those who don't know any better believe "background checks" sound like "common sense," and the average gun owner who buys from dealers and submits to NICS may not grok what the big deal is. That may help explain the lack of a sense of urgency or need on their part and the subsequent funding shortfall. The other side, of course, need not worry about that.
I'd refer to it as "Bloomberg's Private Sale Ban" or "Bloomberg's Total Gun Registration Scheme" or some such in all public statements.
Of course, I'd also point out how you can prove what the grabbers are really after has nothing to do with background checks, but then again, that's something the major players don't want anything to do with. I covered that here (scroll down to where the article talks about BIDS).
That continues to be ignored by practically everyone except me, Alan Korwin, and a handful of others. Too bad, because with a bit of amplifying, the public could be shown how the goal of "background checks" could be achieved without registration -- and that would expose the true goal of anyone who insists transfer records must still be created.
Speaking of major players, it would appear their lack of a funding commitment equal to the task at hand is more motivated by how they will be portrayed as weak if Bloomberg prevails than by anything else. It's not like we haven't seen that concern be their #1 Priority before.
A Prohibited Person

Where are the McMinn County veterans when you really need 'em? If the GOP Establishment gets away with this, I suspect many of the latter day Athens counterparts will be staying home this time.
Stick a Fork in Him, He's Done
['Top Chef' winner Paul] Qui told police he "only was grabbing and holding her." [More]Why tell them anything?
Did you think Mike Martinez giving you the "Qui to the city" made you anything more than a stage prop? Guess what Martinez wants to do to everyone.
And now, "thanks" to Lautenberg, you go to the head of the line. In spite of those marks on your face.

Appreciation for Value Received Makes Vanderboegh Appeal a Different Kind of Fundraiser
I don’t refer to helping Mike as a “donation.” I call it a “gratitude offering.” That’s proper, as this is being directed to those of you who have received value from Mike’s work over the years. That gratitude should also extend to Mike’s wife, Rosey, who has had to make plenty of sacrifices of her own to enable Mike to do so many necessary things we have benefited from. [More]Besides, his new "100 Heads Life Insurance Company" T-shirts could end up being collectors items.

It Depends on What the Meaning of the Word 'Pernicious' Is
'Here again, the Supreme Court is WRONG on the Second Amendment..." [More]But don't worry. No one wants to take your guns.

Establishing a Preference
Arizona’s Presidential preference election will be held tomorrow, March 22. [More]AzCDL notes "Tomorrow’s vote is the first step in letting your voice be heard this election cycle."
They could also use some tangible support.
A Stunning Development
Right. "Non-Lethal System." It's not like a different setting would be feasible.
And no, of course this "terrible implement of the soldier" will not be allowed for We the People. What, you didn't think "the unlimited power of the sword" was supposed to be a "birthright" or anything, did you?

Coming to America
Too late-- they're already here. [More]
And the boyfriend wasn't armed? No matter, seeing as how these guys being here isn't part of that "single issue," once the pathway to citizenship is paved and widened, that option will go away.
Ain't that right, Grover apologists? It must be, because not a one of you has answered my challenge to prove otherwise.

We're the Only Ones Misconducting Enough
In all, Chicago has paid a staggering sum — about $662 million — on police misconduct since 2004, including judgments, settlements and outside legal fees, according to city records. The payouts, for everything from petty harassment to police torture, have brought more financial misery to a city already drowning in billions of dollars of pension debt. [More]And they're pinning their hopes on Kif?
Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

We're the Only Ones Holding Up Our End Enough
A retired state trooper killed a turnpike toll collector and a security guard in a holdup attempt at a toll plaza and then was shot dead by troopers while trying to escape with the money, authorities said. [More]Well how else is a lifelong community hero who retires in his 50s with a 5K monthly pension supposed to get by?

Artful Dodgers
Ted Cruz’s Artfully Exaggerated Gun-Rights Record [More]WoG regulars know I have concerns about Cruz. This isn't one of them. He played a part in something larger. I think everyone understands that.
Everyone except the "reporters' at The Trace, who seem to be obsessed with NRA. And no wonder -- they're the finest propagandists Bloomberg money can buy.
That said, Evan Nappen points to an important consideration the hit piece raises about caveats and what they have enabled.
You don't need to give away the farm to claim your cow. Or at least you shouldn't have to.

Not "The Only One"
In a mass murder situation in progress, if you choose to peacefully resolve the situation yourself without the use of violence or calling the police, please let me know how that works out for you. The police will come and take photos of the bodies, call the Coroner and investigate the crime. [More]Jason Van Tatenhove at Oath Keepers has a lot more.

So How Does This Not Make Google...
... a Geneva Conventions-recognized "legitimate military target"? [More]
I Hate to Say 'I Told You So'...
Mexico is mounting an unprecedented effort to turn its permanent residents in the U.S. into citizens, a status that would enable them to vote... [More]Thank goodness this will have no impact on that "single issue."
Right, Grover? Right, Wayne? Right, Alan? Right, Ted? Right, "gun bloggers"?
"Community Organizing"
Coming soon, to a high-profile target near you. [More]

Excuses, Excuses
Some are challenging the "debate video." [More]
Yes, it is edited. That was admitted to up front in the description "Response to Skeptics":
Yes, it is edited. That was admitted to up front in the description "Response to Skeptics":
The unedited recording of the debate at Harvard was previously available at the following links on Vimeo. But once my message went viral, the anti-white activists deleted these public videos of the debate in order to conceal the truth. I will try to obtain copies and rehost them elsewhere. This just shows you how dishonest these people are: when you point out their hypocrisy, they delete the evidence.One supposition is the participants were playing "devil's advocate." Since when would that be allowed with any "favored" group? Plus, sentiments expressed elsewhere by one of the participants make that unlikely. As do documented cover-up attempts. And what does it matter if it's a few years old? It's being talked about now because now is when it's being exposed.
The Ties that Bind Us
Social Security Administration Beneficiaries Top 60,000,000 [More]That's a lot of people desperately depending on no one rocking the boat.
And to think, like all things "progressive," it was presented with such good intentions.
Can't Be Trusted without a Custodian
Convicted Child Molester David Wilson Infected 2-Yr-Old with HIV Virus [More]Here's a near perfect example of the truism.
Some things are broken, and can't be fixed -- at least with human certainty.
It makes no sense to integrate such monstrous aberrations back into the potential victim pool, and then say the "solution" is a "law" making something else a crime. Or it makes as much sense as saying a man-eating lion has served its time, opening the cage, and expecting it to not behave like a man-eating lion.
Nor is the predatory "solution" of confining or putting restraints on the rest of us tolerable.
Anyone who can't be trusted with a _______ can't be trusted without a custodian.

Cruz said he has been ridiculed and attacked by such politicians for fighting "Obamacare" and defending the Constitution, but he — and his friend Utah Sen. Mike Lee — are "holding Washington accountable." He even hinted that he might consider Lee as a Supreme Court nominee if he is elected president. [More]Really?
With "F-" for "Reduce Chain Migration [and] Reduce Unnecessary Worker Visas," and a "D+" on "Challenge Status Quo"?
It looks like Lee didn't start improving his overall score until growing public outcry showed political vulnerability on the issue.
