I have a Peace symbol sticker on my rear bumper. And I HAVE had gun people give me crap about it. What is wrong with a little peace?

Yes, my truck and our car have NRA stickers on them along with stickers from the colleges where I got my BBA and MBA.
I used to have an NRA sticker on my car, but it seemed that I would get a large number of gun questions when I crossed the border into Canada. Since I do go there from time to time, I decided it's not worth the hassle, so I don't have a sticker on my new car.

No firearms stickers.
No NRA stickers,
No "Kill'm all and sort'm out later" stickers!
I'd just as soon the scum of the earth didn't know I might, just possibly, forget and leave a gun in my truck that they can steal and use to kill someone with.
BTW: In my view, anyone who has a "car gun" that they leave unattended and that later gets stolen and used in a crime, should be prosecuted as an accessory to that crime.
I've had my truck window broken out just to steal the car-wash quarters in the ash tray. God forbid I left a gun in there to arm them to!

I only have one on my truck's back window that simply says;
FREEDOM MATTERS
Read into that what you will.

They also have laws that punish you for leaving your car running should someone steal it. They term that an "attractive nuisance." I can see the rationale, but I disagree.
By extension, anyone who drives a Lexus is guilty of flaunting wealth, thus creating an attractive nuisance. It's a flawed concept: the criminal "can't help himself" if he sees something worth stealing and has an opportunity.
The responsibility for the crime is being wrongly assigned.
Someone steals your car and kills someone with it, that's not your crime. Even if you left the keys in it, it's still not your crime.
Laws that criminalize poor judgement are completely wrong-headed. Especially when you consider that the criminal typically is only punished in a token fashion, "correction" is never achieved, and the net result of his time in jail is that he now belongs to a different culture, and no longer cares about the laws that govern your culture.
To be an "accessory" to a crime, you have to have been "in on it" and a mistake in judgement -- like leaving your car where someone can break into it -- doesn't meet the test.
There are still places in this country where you can keep a long arm in the rack of your truck, and people actually do.
Making "carelessness" a crime leads eventually to, "well, you told your wife you had a gun, she told her sister, who told her husband, and he told a friend of his at the bar, who mentioned it to his buddy the felon, and your gun was subsequently stolen and used in a crime by said felon; thus, through your carelessness in seeing to the security of your property, you have contributed to this crime, go directly to jail, do not pass GO, do not collect $200."
Charge the criminal. Penalize the actually perpetrator. Make the penalty meaningful.
Making honest people into criminals by simple fiat is a really bad idea.
Making the victim responsible for the crime is bad juju.

"Reminds me of that bit in "The Producers," where Hitler sings, "All I want is a little peace. A little piece of England, a little piece of France...""
Actually, it's "A little piece of Turkey, a little spot of Greece" and it wasn't The Producers (that was "Springtime for Hitler"). I think the one you are thinking of is another Mel Brooks movie "To Be or Not To Be." Both were funny movies.
On to topic, where can I get a "Sic Semper Tyrannis" bumper sticker?

My ccw instructor made a statement in class....
"Save your bumper stickers and political statements for your range box."
Makes sense to me.

I have an AK sticker on my car.....and my wife has the AR15.COM bolt logo on hers.
We also sport special states plates - they are the "Love Our Kids" design. I think the two compliment each other.....but Im in the minority.

my old car had about a gazillion stickers ranging from political to bands to pro gun stuff. truth be told the car looked better with all those stickers covering the rust patches! 
my current vehical has no stickers other then the one from jiffy lube. i like stickers but i don't think my boss would let me park in front if i was driving my old car. maybe if i got an old truck or something.

I don't do bumper stickers period, I think they just look tacky overall.
That said, the old car running around Missoula with the Goldwater Miller 64 campaign bumper sticker is amusing.

As I said in an previous post:
If this many of us are so worried, scared, and intimidated to put even a NRA sticker on our car, we have already lost the battle. I have both USPSA and NRA stickers on my car. I want to mainstream the NRA and the shooting sports. You won’t do that by hiding.
“From your cold dead hands?” Sure, most gun owners are too lazy or cheap to spend even $35.00. And the few who do won’t display the decal…

I have a sticker for the range we are a member of. But it is discreet - not obviously gun related. But now I want a bumper sticker that says:
