I just wonder, what is their thought process here?
How does someone come to the conclusion that to protest guns these activists need to have dildos in their hands?
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
That is your problem. You are applying logic and reason.
The dildos are to outrage and draw attention.
Remember all the protests where liberal women disrobed to make a “naked” protest?
It is to draw attention. It draws attention but also creates negative associations.
A secondary reason is to attack Christian ethics. In Christianity, sex is to be held in tight control, with significant self discipline. Modern leftism totally rejects that idea as evil.
To modern “progressives” there should not be any limits on sexual appetites.

When dildos are outlawed only guns will have dildos. :^\
