The "LIBRULZ GUNNA TAKE OUR GUNZ!" thing is sort of a tribal origin myth, a self-justifying cultural story that allows the recipients to feel like they are heroes facing a hostile world.

It's apparently so compelling that even self-proclaimed liberals often believe that "LIBRULZ GUNNA TAKE MAH GUNZ!"
