Don't laugh.
There are tens of thousands of 2-digit IQ idiots who will actually believe this and use it to cement their denial and justify their support of the most vile anti-gun zealots.
There are many people who like to own guns, but who vote for the very worst of the gun banners. It is a bizarre situation. Nothing wrong with voting for who you want. What disgusts me is how they basically lie to themselves and others about the anti-gun positions of their politicians. They want to hear and believe so badly that their socialist gun-banner candidate is actually pro-RKBA or pro-hunting.
It's a comfort thing. It eases their choice. Which leads to more votes for that candidate. It is a little bit of false reassurance. These types wish for and long for the ability to frame a particular election between 2 candidates as "RKBA neutral" ....based on some silly campaign lies. Again, to help ease the pain in selling out one personally held belief in favor of another.
The experts know that there are quite a few people who love guns, but love Hillary more ..and guns are keeping them in the "undecided" column. A few words here, a sound bite there ...and now they are in the Hillary column.
Works like magic. Especially when many districts or states go down to just one percentage point.
Don't ever underestimate the ability of these types to compartmentalize their egregiously incompatible beliefs. If you don't believe me, a quick trip over to DU's guns forum will be a nice reality check. That's what I'm talking about. People who basically say they want nearly full and free gun rights but also believe Obama/Hillary is a good choice. People who want their cake and to eat it, despite such a thing not being even remotely possible in this situation. So impossible, that believing in such a thing leads one to question their sanity.
