21. Just the latest incarnation of "Guns in the News"

This is the fourth or fifth version of a poster that does a google search and then a "cut and paste" with no comment on any news item about a crime with a gun. It requires you to conflate law abiding gun owners with criminals and is supposed to inspire a sense of shame for owning a gun or defending the 2nd amendment.

It never works and after a week or two they get tired of it and go away when it doesn't get the desired results. Usually someone starts posting "gun used to save a life" stories.
