How The ‘Open Carry’ Gun-Rights Effort In South Carolina Shot Itself In The Foot

So says the Greenville News.
The push for open carry gun laws in South Carolina has backfired after one of the bill’s supporters threatened a top state lawmaker.
In response, a state Senate subcommittee chairman postponed Tuesday’s hearing on the bill, effectively killing it for the year by ensuring it misses a Wednesday deadline to pass either the House or the Senate.
State Sen. Stephen Goldfinch, R-Georgetown, tweeted Monday he was postponing the hearing “until further notice.”
“Even though I’m supportive of Open Carry ideals, I will not stand by and allow threats to my friends,” Goldfinch wrote in support of S.C. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter McCoy, the Charleston Republican who received the threat.
McCoy is being monitored by law enforcement after a gun rights activist took to social media to suggest shooting McCoy for allegedly holding up an open carry proposal.
The open carry bill would allow lawful gun owners to carry their firearms, concealed or not, without a permit in South Carolina.
We really need for some South Carolinian to weigh in on this, but my spidey sense tells me something else is going on here.
It could be someone who didn’t think that he’s being monitored 24/7, like we all are. Or it just could be a mercenary for some some controller who knows how to bounce his IP address around to avoid detection, who wanted to send the hearings into a tail spin. In other words, a false flag. You know it happens, more often than you think.
After all, the controllers can’t afford to lose the remaining holdout by South Carolina throwing off the shackles of control by elitists.

Absent the specific and exactly quoted language of the ‘threat’ I count this as a did NOT happen. ‘the news said so’ is not evidence in fact.
If a threat to a real person was indeed made, somebody would be under arrest. So, the threatener, as you state Herschel, must have cut off his digital crumbs, was a known lefty operative, or it didn’t happen. It was probably the Russians.
Speaking of Russians; as a side note I did not follow the Russians did it thing at all. The reason being that the Americans did it using VPNs and multi hop digital masking of identity mostly popping up at public facing proxies with IPs in Russia. Your government spent all that time, money, and ridiculous theater to cover the fact that they can’t trace you on the web if you know what you’re doing and, that it was elements within government that supported the fake news election industry. There was real actual made up stories about Trump, what he said, his proposed policies, his positions etc. aka fake news all by Americans, perhaps even by DoD as it is his chief backer to get and keep him installed, using masking techniques showing public facing proxies in Russia. And you don’t get to be president by being elected, the fight within government over the election was real, multi-level, and multi-dimensional. Sadly, there was no good guy, as either ‘side’s’ claim to moral superiority is hogwash as you (now) know. It’s a fight for power and money while extracting what future is left of a dying empire.
The fact that elements could control the narrative outside of the traditional avenues infuriated other elements. The fake news was a real coordinated, very professional, and fairly sophisticated operation and it got a president “elected”. The primary task was to generate ‘news’ first and lead the narrative and secondarily to contradict every traditional media and ‘left’ story by blasting the opposite or ‘right’ narrative over all channels regardless of facts. It worked. There, now you know.
We’re all the way into the deep end of the pool. You don’t even have close to the ammo, training, team, plans, and supplies that you think you need.
The power structure may turn on itself but when the fiat ‘money’ runs out they may just end the fake slap fight and turn their combined ire on you, dear disbeliever in government as god.

State Rep. Murphy from down in the Lowcountry is a RINO but as a Republican gets to be a committee chairman. He blocked the bill that included open carry, permitless carry, and some other desirable things that I can’t remember right now.
He obstructed from day one, if he claims something else, he’s lying. If you want to know who or what his constituents are, I’ll leave that to others to research. I already know that information, but many don’t like to hear it said in a public forum.
