Just ask if they have ever done anything "offline" to support gun control?

Any dues paying memberships to gun control organizations? (Hitting "Like" on Facebook doesn't count)

Which gun control organizations have they sent checks to in 2015? (There's a whole mailing list in Castle Bansalot)

How many days of vacation have they used to meet with legislators or march in protests in their state capitol or DC?

Which legislators have the met with to talk about repealing concealed or open carry and how often?

What have they done in their state to get Universal Background Checks?

Have they started circulating petitions to repeal concealed carry, the 2nd amendment or anything gun control related?

Count up the town hall or zoning board meetings they have gone to to speak out about a new shooting range or gun store?

It seems the louder and more obnoxious they are on DU, the less they do in the real world.

Much easier to post "FUCK THE NRA" a few times a year than actually do anything like write a check out of your own pocket or take a few days to support your "deeply held beliefs".
