20. What is the poster actually "doing"? Now that's funny

Their mere "sincerity" is sufficient "support" in the mind of the gun control fan.

Real world implementation? Bah! That's for those stupid Ammosexuals.

Like Linus and his Pumpkin Patch, waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear in the most "sincere patch".

"So verily I say unto thee Gun Humpers; 2nd repeal, forced confiscation and imprisonment of gun owners will all come to pass somewhere off in the distant future beyond your mortal vision"

It's much cheaper for them too. This way they don't have to reach for their wallet or purse, write a check, take any time off work to protest or meet with legislators. They really like not having to do anything and still being able to demean people they don't agree with or like. And ... they aren't embarrassed when they lose another legislative or judicial battle, because someday ....

My new favorite excuse they use for being lazy and/or cheap is; "It may take several generations, but one day people will reject guns the way they reject ___________" (fill in the blank with your favorite distasteful habit).

Nothing like pushing failure off for 40 to 60 years or so.
