I saw a "Family" Car Sticker Yesterday That was Really LAME!

You know those stick-figure car stickers out there:



They're annoying, but cute.

They even have silly shoes as "people":



So when I saw this one yesterday I had to rethink why would someone put this on their car:





Seriously?? Guns are your family now?? Losers. You are so obsessed with your guns that you are now propping them up as your "family"??

Free speech is a two-way street. And, for the record, nobody is trying to restrict the content of whatever kind of sticker one wishes to place on their vehicle - no matter how insipid they may be.

On their cars.

Some people colect stamps, others colect vintage toy cars , other colect guns.
All the gun colectors I have ever met were super responsible, safe people.

People are family. Dogs and Cats and Fish can be family. But guns?? Really?? Wow

I've told people that you are giving potential predators details about your family size, genders, and sometimes even names and ages and if you have pets. Sometimes these are accompanied by a volleyball or softball decal with a childs name.

One of the reasons why I hate bumper stickers of all kinds. First of all they mess up the paint on your vehicle. But secondly, you have no idea the lunatics that are on the road. What happens if they take it wrong?? Plus I still think it looks foolish having a McCain sticker on your vehicle. Or a Rmoney sticker.

22. Step one: Follow family home.
Wed Jun 19, 2013, 11:10 AM
Jun 2013

Step two: Wait until they've all left the house.

Step three: Steal their guns.

It's the free guns for gangsters program.

Some people in our community have learned the hard way why it's not a good idea to put one of those "Forget the Dog, Beware of Owner" gun signs on their house or a pro-gun bumper sticker on their car.

The gangs don't really want to steal your stuff, they can take their drug money to Best Buy and purchase an Xbox like anyone else. But they do like their stolen untraceable guns and ammunition.

Her facebook photos are all her with guns. Her profile pic was a picture of a gun pointing in your face.

Her car has NRA gun stickers all over it.

The house has "protected by smith and Wesson" stickers on the doors and windows.

She tells everyone she meets she owns guns. Pulls them out for all visitors.

But she doesn't want to register the guns AND she freaked out when her niece tried to take a picture of one of the guns - Get this, she doesn't want it advertised she owns guns. LOL

Bonus bat shit crazy: She informed us her gun crazy friend told her we (my boyfriend and I) know too much about her guns and ammo stash - we could be tortured to reveal it.

i want to go to a gun show, and then stand outside and ask people to sign my petition: "Gun owners against a national gun registry".

And then say to them "We gun owners need to stand together and tell the government that we will never let them put our names on a list of gun owners ... never!"

And then ask them to sign the petition "So I can send it to the government and let them know exactly where we stand on this important issue."

I bet I'd get most of them to sign it immediately.
