Call the police and report it.
Tell me this is an ‘effin joke…I’d get a neon NRA sign for the top of my house after that letter. 😉
Dear Neighbor:
FOAD…please…for the children!
And God Bless…:)
The Redneck Hillbilly Gun Nut
Step 1, call police….Step 2 call lawyer….step 3, set up cameras and check security system, step 4 contact HOA if part of HOA
Step 5: if legal, start open carrying everywhere, or at least on your property in public view.
Dear Caring Neighbor: SOIAR!!! If you don’t like the sticker, COME AND TAKE IT OFF. Maybe while I’m sleeping.
Yours truly
Insomniac Neighbor
Well I don’t want to live on a planet with weak willed simpletons like you. Unfortunately neither of us are going to get put wish.
Holy cr@p! Maybe just put the note back where it was found with a larger note attached:
“SIGN YOUR NAME YOU COWARD!”

I see this kind of passive aggressive bullshit in the SF bay area all the time. Yet I have to “tolerate” driving behind a prius full of obama stickers and stickers telling me to be vegan,
“No Vegan Edge, No Vegan Powers!!“
Im indirectly a vegan. Herbivores eat plants, I eat herbivores
The Weatherby site doesn’t give a-lot of detail. But I like it need a new pump.
If I knew who sent a note like this to me, I would simply reply with:
Hello neighbor,
Regarding your request, no.
V/R
Neighbor
I hope this is a joke. If not, I’d sit on my porch and clean my guns.
I would file a police report. This nutcase might increase their “caring about guns” by means of violence or destruction of property in the future.
Also, was the letter in the mailbox? That, I believe, would be illegal as well.
My next step would be to strap on my pistol and walk to all my near neighbors and ask them if any of them wrote the note. Likely suspects would be anyone with an Obama sticker, anyone with a Prius and anyone that had an Obama yard sign back in November.
Also, just to point out – what a typical p*ssy liberal – if you believe so much that guns are the problems – SIGN YOUR F*CKING NAME.
I also ask for God to watch over me and to guide me. When he’s not around, he guides me to Sturm Ruger & Co.
God told me to go with Mossberg.
The owner needs to get this sign!
http://i.imgur.com/n5cBa.jpg
I don’t like those signs, i don’t want to tell the neighborhood thugs where to go to steal my guns while i am away (at work).
Oh – and one more thing.
WORSE.FONT.EVER.
COMIC SAAAAAAANNNNNS!!!1!
The font of the weak minded oatmeal brain gun grabbers!
That’s what I thought.
They wrote it in comic sans – so feel free to disregard it.
Oh hell no. If I got that I would begin a weekly cleaning of my firearms in my front yard.
This was a fake on K who wanted to rustle jimmies.
I saw this on Reddit a day or two ago. I think we should consider the possibility that this may not be real…
Already thought that too.
Welcome to the internet, where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.
You put some bone spikes on your wall and gave away 100 lbs of fresh venison. Man, everyone’s got priorities.
The owner should offer to put up a gun free sign on their neighbor’s lawn instead
look, the FN FAL made the ban list, nothing intimidating about the name, not even well known outside of the military and gun culture. IDGAF about names, skulls or anything, if you’re in a bad jurisdiction you’ll get crucified for using a p-38 in SD because it was a Nazi design, you’ll get lambasted for using a Beretta 92 because its MILITARY STYLE assault pistol, and if you’re in a gun friendly area, they won’t care if you used a .50bmg as long as no innocents were harmed. Skulls or pink bunnys won’t make a damn difference, it all depends on your lawyer and jurisdiction and you shutting the hell up after.
Yes, the lesson and principals of John Hancock obviously did not apply to this writer!
do set up surveillance, this bold crusader is just the type to key your Jeep!
Dear neighbor, go fu..yourself. Thank you and have a nice day.
God’s guidance to me is to wear my Kimber to church every Sunday (I mean, as long as I’m wearing it all the time anyway). My Pastor knows I have his back. And, with his .357 snubbie, he has mine. Together we keep the flock well shepherded. Who knows what kind of nuts want to barge in to what they might assume is a helpless crowd in church.

I’m assuming it was sent anonymously. I mean, if you really think that anyone who owns guns is an unhinged psychopath who could go off at any minute you’d have to be even stupider to let him know you were the one who sent it.
They should take the letter back to that dumb ass moron and tell them where to shove their silly letter.
That’s pretty funny. Time to put up a “my next door neighbor hates guns and keeps none in the house” sign in your front lawn.
Time to get a gun rack for your Jeep and put some scary looking chinese airsoft knockoff assault rifles in it!!
I found out that that’s totally illegal in both California and Minnesota. Definitely a NOGO.
even with toy guns?
i’m a retired Marine, middle aged black guy that works out…and is in the NRA. does that mean i don’t count in the count?;))
how do you take the fireing pin out of hk p2000
Dear neighbor
I am an atheist, and your books mandates that you stone me and my family to death.
For the safety of myself and my children I think I’ll keep my guns, just in case you ever decide to take your faith seriously.
Thank you and stay off my law.
Please note the total lack of correct punctuation, obviously a recent collage grad
Honestly, I’ve never received anything like this note, but I am in the process of moving because I live in Smurf City, Pa. Everything from the news to the Nutty government to the people are too blue for me. When the financial collapses happens, these people will turn on themselves and me in a blink.
Homeowners Associations / Neighbors can be real (insert strong derogatory term). My mother used to get these anon letters in the mail about the height of her grass and that the shapes of the bushes in the front were “unkempt”.
Busy-bodies with nothing to do.
The real “Christian” thing to would for this idiot to do would have been to ignore the fact that you have a NRA sticker on your car and not make a judgement about you.
My “Christian” response would be to hang a sign on my window that says, “When someone breaks into your house at zero-dark-thirty in the morning and you call me for help, you’ll be thankful I have a gun. Love, -YourNeighbor”
You would risk your gun rights an entanglement with the legal system for an anit 2a asshat? Not me! But just to show you I’m not a hard hearted guy, I’ll call 911 for them, but that’s it. F ’em. They want us to treat us like pariah AND defend them if something happens? Not a chance in Hell.
I wasn’t able to find this letter elsewhere on the Internet. Was this letter sent to Dr. Vino or did he find it elsewhere such as on a blog? I’d like to know more about the source. Thanks.
I kind of like it. The thought of the pearl clutching amongst the Cuomonistas is a plus.
Also, it’s _not_ zombie green, so +1.
I don’t think it’s a good idea in general to put gun-related stuff on your car. There’s nothing inherently wrong with doing so, but people can exploit it in various ways.
E.g. if someone gets mad at you in traffic and sees that NRA sticker he might try calling the police and making up a story that you brandished a gun. If the police then stop you and you do happen to be carrying you can be in for a lot of trouble.
Low profile=less aggravation.
The more I know about people, the more I love my cats.
-1 for cats
LOL
I’ll ask since no one else has.
Where can I order one in 24×36 to frame in my office?

I will gladly pay for some additional pro gun bumper stickers to whomever recieved this letter. Let me know TTAG.
Like these?

It would be nice if it was just one party courting the illegal alien vote, and more to the point it’d be nice if there was actually a major party that was not trying to trade amnesty for votes, but I believe both parties want to be given credit for legalizing illegal immigration. It sounds like you’re running short on ideas for stuff to write about.
Yes, both major political parties are terrible. But Farago’s observations are still legit. In my state, Crazyfornia, it is no exaggeration to say that illegal aliens get treated a lot better than gun owners. Democrats in this state love their little illegal alien buddies and absolutely hate guns or anyone who owns them. Here, illegal immigrants live normal lives out in the open but gun owners increasingly have to live in the shadows, fearful of being arrested for running afoul of one of our byzantine gun laws.
I’m guessing they wouldn’t like the “Don’t mess with the Second Amendment, and I won’t be forced to exercise it” bumper sticker on my Jeep.
Just yesterday I was watching The Mist. Some psycho preacher lady incited a crowd to murder an Army officer because he protected “heretical” scientists. I was thinking “why doesn’t a CHL holder shoot the bitch?” 5 minutes later one did. Guns rule. Go NRA.
I see that no one signed it. COWARD !!! I would Turn to God and ask why he put this narrow minded individual on the same plane of existance as you. As someone mentioned before get a neon sign. calling him out as the nosey body his is.
It makes see if you look at it from the leftist perspective.
“The foundation of human conflict is material possessions”- Karl Marx.
Ergo, the leftist dogma is that if everyone has the same standard of living, no one will have reason to fight. Hence their hate for capitism and entrepreneurship. As applied to this topic, helping illegals boost their standard of living is consistent with this ethos. The endgame for the leftist agenda is forced confiscation of property for “redistribution”, to fulfill Marx’s statement. Guns make that process difficult , unless only the benevolent government is armed.
I’ll respect that asshat’s Constitutional right to practice any religion as much as they respect their neighbor’s right to bear arms.
Thanks for the Link Jim Barret.
I know I’ve seen that guy in the picture somewhere!
Oh yeah!
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEAakGOwSqw]
I will never register. And I expect nothing. Gun control is over for me. I’m free.
I can’t fear what I don’t respect. I have lost all respect for ALL gun control laws, because I have had far too many shoved in my face. They have become too onerous to comply with in good faith. Any attempt at being ‘reasonable” has not been met with equal reasonableness, only further demands and threats to take my property and imprison or kill me.
So let the thing get underway.
Wow…read this post while listening to Tom Gresham ‘s radio show. Interviewing some left wing Demo gun owner who wrote a book. “WE ” need to be more enclusive. In other words give in to the commie turd vegan aetheist nanny state zombies and they will let us keep our guns. That is good. You see we are too old too male too god worshipping and too white. So my advice is to embrace this caring neighbor and hand your guns to her. Remember the children and equality.
I would actively seek out NRA signs, stickers, etc. and plaster them everywhere on my property just to piss that jerk off.
This is one of the many reasons why the gun grabbing agenda must be fought at all levels. Part of the problem with our nation is that we are getting what we vote for, what the media “knows” is best for our country. Perhaps undocumented firearms will get college tuition under Obamacare as well. Many Mexicans believe that California will soon be theirs again, and with liberals in power, they will soon have their wish.
I find it ironic that the phrases “Safe Christian Neighborhood” and “Redneck Hilbilly Gun Nut” were put into the same sentence by someone who is obviously ready to be the first to cast judgement, liberalism is a mental disease.
If politics were about rationality and logic, there wouldn’t be a rush to ban 10+ round magazines and we wouldn’t have had the ridiculous theater of the “fiscal cliff” or “sequester.”
But as we all know… bombastic, emotion-laden, knee-jerk responses seem to be the order of the day.
For example, if the anti-tax, anti-gun control Republican Party is pro-personal liberty, why do they oppose gay rights and pro-choice abortion (both personal liberty issues). Or if the Democratic Party is all about “the people” and are supposed to the anti-big business party, why do current Democratic ideas about public education favor privatization and letting large businesses steal public dollars to give ridiculous tests that don’t even test kids about what they’re learning?
We could go on and on about the paradoxical idiocy of politicians…
I skipped the sticker and have an Idaho NRA license plate.
Several years ago someone my wife knew was shot and killed so that three teenage boys could take his car out for a joyride. At a meeting in town about the shooting one of the local preacher boys suggested that if we would all put our guns in a basket that this would show local gangsters of our good intentions.
Don Kates Jr. In an article “Bigotry, symbolism, and ideology in the battle over gun conrrol” pointed out that the official position (at that time, early 1990s) of the Presbyterian Church USA was that an individual had no right to take the life of another, even if they would otherwise be killed by the attacker. A stance that would no doubt shock many peple in the pews.
The slippery slope has begun and the government has just shown its inability to police its laws. By making something, I have no intention of complying with, illegal; you’ve taken a normally law-abiding citizen and made me a criminal. Furthermore, since you won’t actually pursue me, you’ve shown us all that we can perhaps get away with more. Maybe the next step is cheating on your taxes? Got it?
Money and property are things they actually care about stealing so they’ll come after you if do that, guaranteed.
I read the Seattle Times and generally find the paper to be fair when it comes to most issues, but yeah… framing the issue as “gun safety” is a huge misnomer. They’ll be getting a letter to the editor from me, without a doubt. Whether or not they publish it? I doubt it.
Everyone go home, it’s fake.
This was posted on 4chan last night trying to rile people up. Didn’t fool anyone there, so I guess they tried again here.
I have seen stuff like this though, even if THIS one is fake(I am going to use some Obama logic here) I am sure there are people who have gotten similar things.
I have a guy at work who doesn’t talk to me anymore because I put a nice big “I support concealed carry” bumper sticker on my truck and he is a bleeding heart anti gun type. Thats only one step removed from something like this.
I have to say, I’m actually surprised I didn’t find one of these on my car window. This is just the kind of crap they’d do to mess with me.
Except they’re all terrified to come by my house at night unannounced. Damn right they should be.
I keep ALL of my magazines pristine. If any are damaged they are only used for range duty, but until that time all mags are in play.
Good idea on labeling though. I had a S&W 1911 come from the factory with a bad magazine. I finally narrowed the problem down to it, thankfully my factory mag was black and my other mags were silver so I figured out the problem PDQ.
Dear a caring neighbor: KISS MY lilly white ### and don’t come crying to me when someone is breaking into your home, raping your wife and killing your children because my “lunatic gun owning self” will not be helping you.
biden used the term “civilian disarmament” within a week after Sandy Hook…don’t let a good crisis go to waste 🙁
http://reason.com/archives/2013/01/31/immigration-and-freedom
THere is nothing christian about disarming others, making them defenseless, enabling oppression and tyranny.
Does this make sense to you?
It makes as much sense as anything eminating from the insane regime in Washington. The administration’s reach far exceeds its grasp. The rate of economic growth is the lowest in two years but the administration is busy kissing illegal @ss. Obama’s approval ratings are dropping as taxes rise. The pushback on gun rights is becoming more organized and vocal. The whole damn socialist agenda of wealth redistribution is coming off the rails.
When the Pretender in Chief finally leaves the WH, he will be recognized as a worse President than Jimmy Carter. Of course, he’ll turn the nation into sh!t before he’s gone, but we will survive our experiment with amateur government.
I would be faced with extreme temptation to unleash all sorts of obnoxiousness for the benefit of Dear Caring Neighbor, the only thing that would hold me back is the knowledge that I am not so much of a douchebag. But I would definitely add at least one more sticker.
This is why people in general stop doing the right thing. This young man had the courage to get involved and stopped a crime from being committed. Yet the politically Stupid punish him. The teen should get a medal the principal should at the very least be fired.
The insane school systems have a anti-bully policy, and usually nothing happens to the bully except for being told to stop, most of the time. So, when your kid decides enough is enough and fights back to stop the bullying… guess what… your kid gets the worst of it in punishment.
I cannot say whether this incident is fact or bologna… It could be certain facts have not been passed on to any of us, lies or otherwise. If true, see above. If false, well… perhaps they did finally get something right for a change.
This is also one of many reasons why I won’t put stickers on my truck.
I always buy 2 magazines… one to read, one to keep MINT in the plastic.
Now where did I put my Detective Comics Number 27 at?
Dear Concerned Neighbor:
Go f**k yourself.
Regards,
Gun Nut with an NRA sticker
Dear Caring Neighbor,
Thanks so much for your concern, sorry for the delay but being a redneck hillbilly I never did have much book learnin’ and had a hard time reading your note.
As advised, I did check with God and He told me that I was doing just fine.So, grateful as I am for your efforts to run my life I must defer for now and in the meantime enclose a list of mental health professionals who can provide you with the help you so desperately need.
Stay well – and away from my house – ‘ol Bubba
“What firearms? I don’t own any of those evil death-machines, officer!”
😉
What does grammar have to do with this story, and why criticize this kid? He did something right. The bottom line is, kid with gun stopped, nobody injured.
I don’t understand that either. Makes the Robert no better than the principal who suspended the kid for doing the right thing.
I have no Illegal or unregistered firearms officer-
They are simply “Out of Status”
After the infamous “you put your handgun into hair trigger” by pulling the hammer back, even Hickok45 says don’t. I believe this was in a DGU wrongfull death suit./// I wouldn’t want to be defending in civil court with the “killer skull” shotgun based on previous cases, Randy
There is no longer any common sense in this “FUCKed” up country!
ACLU is against Christians, China owns the “so called” United States that has to “cow toe” to the Muslums, and Wal of China Mart refuses to sell items produced in the USA.
WTF????????
When I first read about this my first thought was that the kids
were suspended for interfering. Because of them, the anti-rights
crowd doesn’t have a new victim to stand on.
Great story. I continue to be impressed by the writing ability of the armed intelligentsia at this blog.
Not sure who he knows, but if I were running the NRA, I’d make sure everybody knows who Larry Wayne Thornton is.
Without details, this is just hand-waving.
Channeling Monty Python:
“Ah, I see you have the shoulder thing that goes up!”
My moment of revelation came at a shooting range in Florida. I was on a job and we had some time to kill before flying home, so a friend who’s an old gun hand took me shooting. I’m sort of a scatter-brained, absent-minded professor type, but when a loaded gun was put in my hands, I became very focused. I realized that for learning mental discipline, there is nothing like shooting a gun.
I also learned how hard it is to actually hit anything with a gun. The stance, breathing, concentration, I found it quite compelling. I got so into it, we almost missed our plane.
I now have a safe full of firearms, shoot at least once a week, and LOVE to bring the newbies to the range. Nothing changes people’s minds about guns like an actual experience with one.
Presuming that this story is as it has been portrayed, it’s an example of one of the two dangers in government. When the rules are rigid without discretion, idiocy of this nature is the result. The other danger is when government employees have too much discretion and get to act on their whims. The solution to both dangers is to reduce what government is allowed to do.
By the way, RF, are you referring to Rush’s song, “Test for Echo,” or did you have that radio host in mind?
Obligatory:
Now that that’s done…
Hey Barack! While you’re at it, how about a pardon(with full restoration of rights ) for G. Gordon Liddy? he’s an American patriot who deserves it—oh I get it, never mind.
One tip that wasn’t mentioned is “lose weight.” It’s funny how you guys are so willing to overlook that.
Not much of anything demoRATS do makes much sense to me.
Start flying the Gonzales “Come and Take it” Flag.
Got my first handgun just this last Christmas (and birthday..one day apart) right after wife and I got our CWL. Wife gave me a G26. Had a 20 gauge single shot that her grandpa gave me for a few years before. Kiinda of a late comer but have joined the fold.
Hey Dan – It’s Jim Barrett, not Bruce Barrett. I think you are getting us a bit mixed up.
This pistol does look reeeeally cool. But boatloads of bad things have happened when the word “shouldn’t” was used. I do disagree with the idea of a safety being counterintuitive and possibly dangerous, every single time I grab my 1911 my thumb moves to the safety. Do I understand the appeal of having a gun that you can grab and shoot right away? Of course. But for me, the peace of mind of having that safety is worth the minuscule amount of time necessary to flick it down. As always, YMMV.
The Episcopal Church in the US has basically split, as has the Anglican church in England. There is an old and a new, roughly corresponding (in my view) to Conservative and Reform in Judaism. Since I live in a community 2/3rds Episcopalian/Presbyterian, 1/3 Jewish, and grew up here, the doctrinal parallels are striking. As for guns and churches, who can forget the time George H.W. Bush launched the war to liberate Kuwait…and his own Methodist Church publicly condemned the war as morally wrong. As for (please provide a phonetic transliteration)’s comment above, I have frozen my image of Britain forever: In this image they call a slightly darker color “khaki,” have a 30-03, .375 H&H,, and Purdey in the gun room, and have the full-on British Disease which Germans unfortunately shun, defined as the aspiration to succeed so that they can go do nothing whatsoever but drink, shoot, ride, and f@@@ out at their country place. It is an extreme and anachronistic image, but preferable to thinking of Manchester as it is today, so I’ll keep it. Pepperidge Farm philosophy, indeed.
I was met with Dan while he and his wife were driving through the Midwest and spoke to him over dinner. I responded to a posting of his on ar15.com about gun caching. I haven’t read the book yet (its on order), but I found Dan to be a very sharp and open minded guy. His love of guns is deep and he personally identifies with all the reasons I love guns so much. He, his wife and I spoke on dozens of subjects over dinner and on the issues of firearms, I found very little difference between us.
way over my head! LOL
Everyone needs at least one hopeless cause. This is Robert’s white whale.
Reply with this: “Dear Neighbor. It has come to my attention that you have a kitchen full of KNIVES. As you know, KNIVES are used in 3 times as many slayings as rifles in this country. In fact, Great Britain is preparing legislation to OUTLAW any chef’s knife with a blade more than 3 inches long, in order to prevent SLAYINGS. I have notified the Sheriff that you possess weapons that account for 3 TIMES as many homicides as rifles, and I hope you will convert all your stainless steel DANGEROUS KNIVES into plasticware. For the children. Please.
Dear Neighbor,
After kneeling in prayer and finding the Christian guidance to avoid the sin of wrath, I have refrained from driving my black Jeep Cherokee over your tiny Ford C-Max. I always wondered where you put the groceries, kids and dog in that sardine can.
It has come to my attention, by the ecologically incorrect litter left on my property, signed by “A Caring Neighbor” that I live in uncomfortably close to a blooming idiot. And, while I respect your Constitutional right to behave live a complete ass and ignore my God given rights, I will continue to respect your rights to act as a jerk.
I will continue to proudly display the emblem of the NRA and legally carry and posses my firearms. In the future, I will be happy to broadcast your distaste for firearms and self defense to the next criminal/terrorist I repel from attacking my home, family, friends and innocent strangers.
They will be elated to learn that a visit to your gun free zone will enable them to enjoy sharing in the wealth of your possessions unfettered. Should you ever find yourself in the position of an unwelcome house-guest, unable to defend yourself, awaiting for 911 to respond, if you are able to call them, I have some simple advice. Cry out to the Lord loud enough, and he just might send your prayer in my direction, so I can come to your aid.
Signed, From One Who Protects and Serves
