Gun Control & RKBA

(15,333 posts)Serious question.
Those that find them funny already agree with them, which is fine...but the target
(no pun intended) of the japes seem to be spurred on, not discouraged by them.
I invite the disinterested reader to see, for example:

The OP discusses how gun owners organized to stop an anti-gun billboard campaign,
other DU gun owners chimed in- and the controllers resorted to their old standby, genitalia jokes.
When I asked one disgruntled poster just how much *they* were going to contribute
towards the rental of billboards, now that space wasn't going to be donated....silence.
Don't get me wrong, I encourage the making of juvenile jokes, the reposting of
snarky cartoons, and waiting around for handouts from a multibillionaire authoritarian-
"activism" like that has helped to make gun control what it is today...
