Long line at the craft store? Man says it was tougher to buy poster board than an AR-15

We knew we’d be highlighting a lot of dumb signs from the #MarchForOurLives event today (we haven’t even touched all of the “Harry Potter” themed ones yet), but some are just so very wrong that they deserve to be called out.

We’re not sure what this guy’s problem was — a shortage at Walmart considering all the people making signs for the march — but he’s claiming it was tougher for him to buy the poster board to make his sign than it was to purchase an AR-15 — someone we’re going to go out on a limb and assume he didn’t do.

“It was harder to buy this poster board than an AR-15. Something is wrong.”

It's the sign. The sign is wrong. https://t.co/wTx8SogoDX

Yeah, something is wrong alright —> what is actually written on the sign. https://t.co/SMc5GJLzAz

Something is certainly wrong with this poster but probably not what the guy holding it thinks. https://t.co/bgcGcckfHA

There is, in fact, something wrong with this poster. https://t.co/t1dpXzYNYa

This is, how do you say, a complete crock of shit. https://t.co/qFW88It7Dk

I have no problem with students protesting. Good for them. What disturbs me is that many adults act like they are so wise when they say vapid things like this.

We can’t solve the problem if we don’t pay attention to the actual facts. Pithy sayings prove and accomplish nothing. https://t.co/O2pQCsS4CY

I'm convinced these morons actually believe you can run into Walmart, toss an AR15 in your buggy along with your milk & bread then skip through the self checkout lane and be done in less than 10 minutes. https://t.co/W5b53unkiC

If you need a background check to buy poster board, you're shopping at the wrong place. https://t.co/V7rDx88meA

That better be some sweet poster board if it cost $1500 and required him to wait in the store while they ran a comprehensive background check. https://t.co/MsBOEVW4G5

That the price of freedom.

Clearly, he's not only never bought an AR-15… he's also never bought the poster board. https://t.co/8KTr3vQIEq

Some signs are so dumb that you can't believe they're not a parody. https://t.co/eieKBWS2bu

This has got to be a troll. Nobody is this dumb… https://t.co/tDxwJHnDFW

And here I was, wondering who'd post the dumbest protest sign. https://t.co/AAnSXyzbQs

We’re not sure: If you just sit back and watch CBS News, you might be convinced that it’s easier to by an assault rifle than cold medicine — for real. (Yeah, CBS News finally took that report down after the backlash.)

But definitely, get someone from CBS News on this poster board angle ASAP.

And while we’re at it, we might as well give this guy from another thread one more airing:
