Watch the film "Meet the Hitlers". Heath Campbell got his kids taken away for naming them Adolf Hitler Campbell, Eva, Heinrich, and AryanNation. By your logic, we should let Campbell keep his kids and lock up all the children and adults who might bully them or make them uncomfortable later on - or worse, let Campbell point a gun at anybody who makes fun of them.

That trump sign is certainly a trap if you leave it out in an urban area where there are bars, and you wait for people to come by with your rifle and sidearm to run out in the street to terrorize them.

PS - I never said there was a legal excuse or defense for vandalism.
