Incendiary Image of the Day: Caring Neighbor Edition

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

Hello neighbor,

It has come to my attention that on the back of your black Jeep Cherokee you have an NRA “Life Member” sticker. For it is your right to express your opinions openly I do not appreciate the fact that I live in a neighborhood with a lunatic who owns guns! We’re supposed to live in a safe Christian neighborhood, and we don’t need some redneck hillbilly nut living here!

So I ask you please, to get rid of your guns and remove your NRA sticker for my children and everyone’s children and turn to God for guidance!

Thank you,

A caring neighbor

  2. Dear Caring Neighbor: SOIAR!!! If you don’t like the sticker, COME AND TAKE IT OFF. Maybe while I’m sleeping.

    Hello neighbor,

    Regarding your request, no.

  7. 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 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).

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

    Reply
  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

    Reply
    • 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.

  22. 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.

  24. 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.

  25. I’ll respect that asshat’s Constitutional right to practice any religion as much as they respect their neighbor’s right to bear arms.

  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. I would actively seek out NRA signs, stickers, etc. and plaster them everywhere on my property just to piss that jerk off.

  29. 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.

  30. 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.

  31. 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…

  32. 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.

  33. 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?

  34. 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.

  35. Amnesty Sì, Amnesty No
    And Other Irrelevancies

    by Fred Reed
    February 8, 2013

    I don’t understand the dispute over amnesty. The fat lady has sung, Latino-wise. It’s over. Seventeen percent of the United States is now Latino. The percentage is increasing, and will increase. You can like it, or hate it, or not care. It doesn’t much matter. You might as well dislike gravitation.

    Supposedly there are eleven million illegals in the country. Granting them amnesty will not make them go away. Not granting them amnesty will not make them go away. Amnesty might attract more, if jobs were available. Withholding amnesty will leave them permanently marginalized. Take your choice.

  37. 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.

  41. 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.

  44. 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.

  52. 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.

  53. 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.

  56. 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.

  57. 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 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.

  60. 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
