Bad message by gun store?

[Sam1911]

Yeah, the zombie goobers have been using the biohazard symbol for a while now. It doesn't "mean" zombie, but most probably don't know that. Slapping it on the international pictogram of the "slip and fall" hazard guy certainly sends a confusing message unless you're one of the unfortunates in the "IN" crowd.

It's regrettable that we live in such times when simple bumper sticker humor no matter how distasteful even warrants comment when music/entertainment can hide behind the veil of ART and be as vile towards women, religion, culture and depict unspeakable violence and more times than not the one being critical is the one shouted down.

Consider the audience.

So the sticker is still on the website... did anyone ever get a response from the merchant?

The page linked by the OP is still there, but the sticker is not listed on the website.

To me, the sticker looks like something the Brady Campaign or an anti-gun group would be pushing.

stickers like that are designed to separate dolts from their money, and it seems to work by the looks of many vehicles....

I've seen some vile stuff on bumper stickers put there by people who don't even comprehend how vile they are to women, other religions, and culture. The other possibility as to their mindset is much more chilling.

These stickers are a poorly thought out and poorly executed product - placed up for sale by a vendor who sells AR components and who caters to the "zombie eradication" crowd. I have personally met "Karri" from Karri's guns and I did purchase several AR parts from her business (which is a 95% internet business). I just checked the website and the stickers are not listed - it wouldn't surprise me, based on my limited interaction with the owner, that the stickers were removed immediately once the negative feedback was received.

I don't have huge a problem with the whole zombie thing, but the image may be a bit unclear to some people. I'm not a big fan of guns being pointed at "human-shaped" things (besides a paper target). It makes me feel kinda strange. And it's just more fuel in the anti-gun fire for a politician. But this is just another opinion.

How in the world is a sticker like that supposed to support firearms freedom? Seems to me that it is much more representative of the gun banner than the legitimately armed citizen.

I definitely think it's poor taste.

I mean, the sticker gives no indication about zombies if you ask me, it just looks like human + (gun) = dead or shot human, not zombie

So, I would emphasize on the sticker itself more the zombie thing if they insist on selling it

There is no need to make gun owners look worse than what the media or some individuals all ready think. It's an up hill battle now, no need to make it worse.

I don't know that the stickers are detrimental to gun owners, as much as they are stupid and poorly designed. I never got the whole zombie thing, and without the labeling on the web page I would have never understood the message.
