At least we are not toting guns, promoting guns, supporting Zimmerman, contributing to NBA rather Hoyt Jan 2016 #141

You also don't go to meetings, write checks, or lobby politicians. You are, indeed, slacktivists friendly_iconoclast Jan 2016 #142

I get it, you are proud of your support for gun organizations like the NRA, and god knows what else Hoyt Jan 2016 #143

Add "research what I talk about" to the list of things you don't do, as I despise the NRA... friendly_iconoclast Jan 2016 #145
