Frankly, I think the bozo is doing his cause a disservice with his obnoxious, inflammatory sticker.
GAH - I’m soo cheesed off, I can’t even rant right!
[sub]well, not that I ever was much for a rant - I’m just to easy going I guess…[/sub]
If you really hate a bumper sticker, you might consider peeling it off. If that doesn’t work, put another bumper sticker over it (something like “Guns don’t kill people; Nazis kill people”). He’d probably blame it on the Jews or something, and rational-thinking people wouldn’t mind because he’s, as you put it, a FREEKING NAZI!
Depends on what your definition of gun control is. You apparently think that gun control means having to wait two days to buy a gun, in which case you are entitled to be upset with him. The sticker owner apparently feels that gun control means no guns at all, aka HCI, Brady, etc… in which case I agree with the displayer of the sticker.
He is allowed to think that he should be able to buy a gun - I have no argument with that. I only object to the assertion that, because I happen to disagree with him, I’m a nazi.
It’s obnoxious. Totally and completely obnoxious. Offensive. Completely and totally erroneous.

Perhaps you could read the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. He has a right to put a bumper sticker on. So do you. Don’t like his? Get one of your own.
As Americans, we’re able to have and express our opinions.
Get over it, move on, find something better to do with your time.
And alice has a right to find it offensive and obnoxious. Nowhere did she say The Dweeb should be forced to remove his sticker. As Americans, we’re able to express our pissed-offness about other people’s obnoxiousness.
Besides that - I never said he couldn’t express his opinion - I said his opinion is a piece of shit. Which it is. And for the record, owning a gun in Canada is not a right either - it is a privilege, much like driving a car, and should be licensed as such.
Did you ask him what his understanding of gun control was?
Obnoxious for stating his opinion? That’s pretty arrogant.
Erroneous for what exactly? What version of gun control is he opposed to?
Offensive? Pehaps to you it is. Is that a reason to judge a man for a viewpoint before finding out what exactly that viewpoint is?
Perhaps I’m just a bit biased that the sub of the OP implied that anyone against gun control is a loose cannon ready to shoot those who disagree.
Thinking that gun-control is out of hand is one thing. Calling people who are for gun-control Nazis is idiotic. It is clearly designed to get chuckles from those that agree with you and to piss off those that don’t. Yeah bumperstickers tend to be that way, but that doesn’t make his any less moronic.
His viewpoint was quite clear - if you support gun control, than you are a nazi.
Now why would that be offensive…
Well, My father didn’t actually meet my grandfather until after my father’s fifth birthday, because grandpa was overseas - fighting nazis.
My grandfather’s hearing has been irreperably damaged due to bomb blasts, shooting, etc that he was exposed to overseas - fighting nazis.
My grandfather watched some of his best friends and colleagues blown to bits - yep, thats right folks, by the nazis.
GRANDPA supports gun control. And guess what - he’s not a nazi, which pretty much wraps up the erroneous comment as well.
The entire point of the sticker was to piss people off, and guess what - it worked. It also worked in painting this man as a total jackass.
And in regards to my sub post in the OP - that was sarcasm. Also known as a little joke. See, here in Canada, it’s very rare that someone gets shot with a gun because we have…Gun Control.
She didn’t, and I apologize for my mistake in attributing it to Alice. The “rip it off/cover it up” idea was posted by JellyDonut.
Who would probably like my t-shirt that says, “Guns dont kill people, abortion protestors do.”
