And it is exactly for reasons like this that I think we are ultimately headed for some kind of violent showdown between the left and everyone else. They no longer know when to back off, and they lack the moral filters necessary to coexistence. We’re going to end up in an existential fight for our most fundamental rights, and literal self-preservation.

And I think one of the main reasons, the left is in such fear of those us on the right, is because there are so many of us, that they can't get a handle on.
The weekend Rambo, in your face, armed to the teeth, to go to Walmart crowd, is easy to spot, and work around, and use as fodder for more restrictions. It's those of us, that look, act, and comport normally, but who are ready ,willing and able, to defend our precious liberties, that scare the bejesus out of them, because we don't wear our feelings on our sleeves.

This is one of the reasons, I don't have anything on my car, clothing, or house that extolls the virtues of gun ownership. The other, is that I don't want to give criminals a potential theft target. I am a proud NRA member, but I don't display any of the logos, I don't have come and take it stickers, on my truck, or anywhere else viewable by the general public. But I never have been one to broadcast my views through bumper stickers, no matter the subject. My thoughts, feelings, and opinions, are my private business, and I do not feel the need to use my vehicle as a way to express them. I also do not decorate my guns, or knives, with skull, or witty words, that might, look bad, to a jury, if I ever have to defend myself, and that is held up as exhibit A.
That being said, if all prosecution in this country, was based on bumper stickers, how quickly can we expect to descend into chaos?
The Minnesota legislature, has decided, people cannot defend themselves in public. They made that decision, by not enacting Stand Your Ground laws, or by repealing, the duty to retreat. No left wing group, including the ACLU, would defend this guy, because they believe people should submit to being victims, and therefore reliant upon the government to protect them. JMHO
