12. I expect silence on the matter

For 2 Orwellian reasons -

First- groupthink is mandatory amongst gun control proponents and Purity is enforced with with enthusiasm even going so far as to ban people for posting historical fact

Second - doublethink is strong among gun control proponents. There are many instances of holding to two mutually contradictory points but seeing absolutely no conflict between them.
In this case the implied accusation of gun owners are those who will support Republicans due to their position on a single issue, while at the same time supporting those in their own camp who openly support Republican candidates over Democrats.
