Just a mini-rant based on an observation on the road over the weekend, and not directed at anyone here. It's just the most convenient place for me to vent.
If you're going to have an NRA sticker on your vehicle, realize that you have decided to make yourself a public ambassador for that organization and its other members. Please don't be an asshat on the road (even if it is a free country and it's your right to be as unappealing a human being as you like). It makes the rest of us members look bad, it makes the organization look bad, and it makes gun owners in general look bad to the non-firearmowning public we are trying to win over. We don't need to give people even more reason to equate gun-owner with illterate, inconsiderate, mouth-breathers. If you insist on being reckless and rude on the road, at least be courteous enough to put a Kerry/Edwards sticker on your car instead.
