What's with the other car's plate in the distance? This looks like ai artifacts lol. I know it doesn't make sense to use ai for such post, but still what is this
Just a thought, but isn't it incumbent most especially on the person wielding lethal force to think twice? If you have a gun for self defense, a more sane sticker would say, "I desperately hope I never have to use this." Of course, the most sane option would be not advertising your gun ownership via sticker.
Didn't sound like laughing. Sounds like your insecurity is really coming out. And you didn't even give a reason why it's "clown ass take". Seems you disagree but not mature enough to give a constructive feedback.
Across from a school on a street full of families with children, my trump-loving neighbor put up a sign threatening that trespassers will be shot twice
not threatening just a warning however i find shit like this stupid bc it is 100% getting used against you in court of you have to use your gun for defense
"I don't want people to know what a scared, insecure pussy I am, so I'll put a gun sticker on my truck, so that they think I'm badass and tough and am ready to shoot someone at any time"
Aside from being cliche they achieve two things, one of which is pretty dangerous.
First, they do serve as a deterrent to light hearted thugs if they manage to see it.
Second - and more dangerously - they give any would be attacker a heads up of the drivers so called mindset and preparation, meaning that - if considered- any attempt at the car (etc) will necessarily have to have its force escalated to immediately kill or incapacitate the driver without getting his attention or without letting him respond. And that, my friends, is stupid. Better to just be alert and armed than escalating theoretical force.
If the prosecution doesn’t bring up that sticker as proof that the person didn’t take every possible step to avoid having to use deadly force, they’re not doing their job. And even I’d be down with that argument were I on the jury.
Assuming that this is in Missouri (OP said “Indeed” to it being a “St. Louis moment”), yeah, you really need to convince a jury that you were in reasonable fear of your life. What’s “reasonable” is up for interpretation by the judge or members of the jury. At least for me, it’s “made an honest effort to not use deadly force”.
I’m in the city on the other side of the state and have familiarity with CCW & self-defense training. They nailed it pretty hard that “you really don’t want to shoot if you don’t have to”.
I thought there was supposed to be an extra level of thought when you have a gun. Like there are classes to try ensure your not shooting first asking questions later. It’s like these guys are screaming they’re too fucking stupid to have a gun.
And 'home protected by Smith and Wesson ' is a sign that translates to "watch this house until I leave: thousands of dollars on small expensive items here"
Here's a fun fact: this bumper sticker is a prosecutor's dream, and having one basically throws any potential firearm based self defense case you could make right in the trash.
In my country (non US) gun self defence is so strict, that i would not be surprised if such sticker could turn legit case in murder. As it show threat and will to shot someone.
So then the NRA has probably published lots since they’re looking out for their members best interests and warning people? What else could they be doing with the resources at their disposal due to membership fees ?
This slapdick definitely goes around looking for a reason to escalate any situation that is a minor inconvenience.
I feel like this is someone who goes the speed limit in the left lane.
Just the type of person who should always be carrying a weapon...
/s
Doesn't the meme itself suggest that they've already thought once? Basic math dictates any further action would be them "thinking twice."
That sticker will not be helpful for them in court.
I don’t think!

These stickers do 3 things.
1- let's people know which car to break into.
2- will get you some unpleasant attention from the police on traffic stops.
3- let's everyone know how insecure you are.
Also let's people think that they are dangerous and stupid
Yes, that is what reasonable, good, and mature people think.
There are absolutely a subset of the opposite kinds of people that see this as:
Don't mess with me or my property
Will get me respect and attention in all the ways daddy didn't give me.
Let's everyone know that I am really manly and I use the phrase "alpha male" unironically at least three times a week.
Such poor trigger and muzzle discipline....
What's with the other car's plate in the distance? This looks like ai artifacts lol. I know it doesn't make sense to use ai for such post, but still what is this
Same with the building’s windows and the letters on the sticker when you close up
Huh yeah I see that. I wonder if the camera does that with ai? Idk, but it’s a real pic I took
Oh you're right that looks weird lol
It's helpful to have a hint about someone's personality before you rob or assault them. Thank's, Brad.
cops hate this one weird trick

You're asking too much. The badass doesn't have time to waste in thought and consideration.
I bet he's a model driver too!
He was not
“Break into my car, win a free gun!”
"I'm extremely scared, please don't approach"
He owns a gun, so he doesn't even think once.
Clown-ass take
🤡
Seems I hit a nerve lol
Hardly, it just makes me laugh to remember people like you are real
"Â people like you are real"
Not mentally mature enough to accept that people will have different viewpoints.

That's a hot take.

someones a little upset
Just translating.
feel brave putting other people down on the internet little guy?
I do feel good about translating how people really are. Has nothing to do with bravery. lol
St louis at its finest is the liscense plate reg expried
Expired temp tag of course
Hell yeah.
Prosecutors love this one simple trick
He will once he’s in jail.
Translation: free handgun in this car.
I always find these stickers interesting.

Unrelated: that profile pic got me wiping away hair lol
This says rob me, I have guns in the car.
More like "I'm scared and need to make people think gun make me tough"
It also says an almost-guaranteed conviction in the case that the occupants of the vehicle were to use firearms in “self-defense”.
They won't always be in their car, presumably

What having no impulse control leads to
Exactly. I'm not confident that he'll even think once.
Ever
St. Louis moment
Indeed
Ah, another rolling loot box.
I thought there was supposed to be an extra level of thought when you have a gun. Like there are classes to try ensure your not shooting first asking questions later. It’s like these guys are screaming they’re too fucking stupid to have a gun.
Sure seems like it
“I have a small pee pee and will compensate!”
“Look, I’ve got a gun and NO impulse control. Watch out!”
Imagine showing up to any normal social function with this lol. Complete embarrassment
so theyre saying theyre stupid?
It’s like they wanna act like street gangsters, the very people they claim to be against.
Twice? I don't think once
Making the title like a click bait article.
Anytime I've brought up any type of gun control, every single gun owner immediately goes to 'I'll kill anyone that comes for my guns'.
I've literally heard a pastor say this.
I doubt they even think once.
"Think twice... my brain doesn't have enough speed to do it before it goes on sleep mode"
*windows error tone*
Why does this look Ai generated ?
I’m gonna guess ai upscale
Yup, they cropped an image and ai upscaled it to increase the resolution, it rarely works well.
That screams “there is a gun to steal inside this car”
And 'home protected by Smith and Wesson ' is a sign that translates to "watch this house until I leave: thousands of dollars on small expensive items here"
Such bad vibes. The idea of going through life like this is pure tragic.
Here's a fun fact: this bumper sticker is a prosecutor's dream, and having one basically throws any potential firearm based self defense case you could make right in the trash.
Definitely doesn’t throw potential defense “right in the trash” but it certainly doesn’t help either.
In my country (non US) gun self defence is so strict, that i would not be surprised if such sticker could turn legit case in murder. As it show threat and will to shot someone.
How to get your car broken into when you’re not around speedrun. As a gun owner myself, these stickers are the fucking stupidest things ever.
Right? Even if I’m leaving a gun store I get nervous.
“Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious.”
Yeah not a great thing to advertise is it?
This is what ppl outside of united states think of you
Seems on brand for a lot of gun owners. They can't think things through.
You mean like a lot of gun owners end up using them on themselves? Is that something we’ve studied?
Yes. The vast majority 58% of gun deaths are suicide.
So then the NRA has probably published lots since they’re looking out for their members best interests and warning people? What else could they be doing with the resources at their disposal due to membership fees ?
Premeditation with a bumper sticker is probably the dumbest reason to go to jail for life.
Yep, hard to say to judge you had no other choice than shot and regret it, if stickers say you were thrilled to do it at possibility
Bragging about making violent rash decisions isn’t the flex this guy thinks it is.
Way to go, St. Louis
If you knew where they worked, you could file one of those OSHA complaints that got Charlie Kirk critics fired. Be a damn shame if that happened.
I swear these people wanna shoot someone so badly
so lame
