Those are my guesses, at least

You left out the most probable one. That would be because he does support gun registration and doesn't want to admit it openly for fear of people finding out that he is actually a liberal on this forum pretending to be a conservative and acting like a buffoon in order to discredit conservatives. He has been doing it for years. Hard to believe you never saw this little dog and pony show from him.

Apart from the freepers I know in real life, I tend to not pay much attention to who the other posters are, rather, what they say.

So I probably did miss it.
