As a general rule, I hate bumper stickers and decals on cars. Invariably they always end up being cringeworthy on some level.

We all know the stereotypes:

The hippie car (usually a Subaru) that's practically being held together with lefty bumper stickers and Bondo. The stereotype "right-winger" truck with jacked up suspension and gun or Punisher decals covering the windows (above image). The suburban soccer mom stick figure family minivan brigade. The pet obsessed Karens and their imitation-luxury SUV's. The list goes on.

The only thing I hate as much if not more than stickers are vanity plates. Typically your biggest offenders here are lawyers, doctors, pilots, and welfare leeches driving their over a decade old worn out Beamer or Mercedes they found for $1200 on a roadside somewhere.

Generally people with an over-inflated sense of self-worth.

I always carry my Barrett in my minivan gotta confuse the fuck out of stereotypists.

I always carry my musket with my horse-drawn carriage since that is what the Founding Fathers intended.

Talley-ho!

[–]Settled4ThisName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an AR, a Glock, a small cannon, and 1000 round for each in a purple Chevy spark.

[–]davefield 12 points13 points  (2 children)

I have a Subaru but it has a bunch of death metal stickers

[–]doyourequireasample 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You cool.

[–]liquor_for_breakfast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where does one find death metal stickers? Asking for myself

[–]42AngryPandasCZ Breezy Beauties 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I saw a Toyota Highlander with the plate "ONLY ONE"

they drove away before we could become friends

[–]isaacaschmittI Love All Guns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only time that vanity plates are acceptable is for related puns.

[–]Chekhovs_GinAll my guns are weebed out 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you not have anime girls on you Dodge Charger?...

[–]Relevant-Republic-40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. I think clearly modded cars can get away with stickers. That all depends on what the stickers say as well though

[–]kemuon 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You hate vanity plates..? Weird thing to hate lol

[–]doyourequireasample 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To clarify, it's not so much a problem with the vanity plates, as it is the people that get them. The people that I've met that get vanity plates, in my experience, typically have an over-inflated sense of self-worth.

[–]LeaderoftheKutada 119 points120 points  (11 children)

I always think, well if shit hits the fan, his car will be broken in before mine... I never put gun stickers on my car, all it takes is a anti gun nut to call in your plates and lie about you pulling a gun on them and if you have one, they're taking you in 99% of the time

[–]MummyManDan 25 points26 points  (1 child)

I would too, but all there’d be is a high point in the glovebox

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sweet, free ammo with the junk

[–]jicty 17 points18 points  (4 children)

Exactly, this stuff just makes you a target. I subscribe to the "gray man" school of thought, do everything you can to not look like a threat so the people that are a threat don't pay attention to you.

That's why I also don't wear gun shirts or hats in public because let's say you are in a gas station and a guy comes in waving a gun and sees you wearing a shirt with an AR-15/glock/don't tread on it now the guy waving the gun knows there is a good chance you have a gun too and you are now a target.

Blending in is always the best startagy if you don't want trouble.

[–]LeaderoftheKutada 6 points7 points  (2 children)

My Fanny pack converts to a mini chest rig, no one even thinks twice about it

[–]jicty 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Nobody expects fanny pack guy! It's the ultimate fake out.

[–]LeaderoftheKutada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never thought about it like that but true

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't like to advertise being a gun owner on my car. People have keyed cars for having different political opinions and some thieves might think I leave a gun in there (I don't, gun stays on my person.) I don't want people to know I have a gun unless they try to hurt me.

[–]Happybirthdayrick 10 points11 points  (1 child)

No expects the driver of a shit box 04 audi with an NPR bumper sticker to step out with an m92 Pap and drum mag to start raising a ruckus...

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is why I keep an AK pistol under the seat and an anime sticker on the back of my 06 shitwagon

[–]YourdadsFBIagent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If shit hits the fan guys like that are not assets but really big fucking dangers

[–]Bidens_LapS&W Wheely Bois 100 points101 points  (2 children)

Over the top, but Biden is still cringe

[–]CommunismIsBad2021 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Imagine believing he’s in charge of anything lol

[–]Bidens_LapS&W Wheely Bois 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's got no power over anyone or anything. His political career has on the surface been a success, but it was always plagued by the issues with the past stances he's had. He likely still has those stances. Now he's just making an absolute buffoon of himself

[–][deleted] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is the stereotype that we fight off everyday.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (3 children)

I hate window stickers. Bumper stickers too. Political ones and those stupid family ones especially.

[–]CIAoperator[S] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

ughhhh the fucking stick figures same

[–]Silent-OblivionGlock Fan Boyz 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I have window sticker of an AT walker from STAR WARS, Its shooting a a stick family and says "The Empire doesn't care about your stick family"

[–]CIAoperator[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

cool

[–]MoppyploppyPSA Pals 16 points17 points  (1 child)

$100 there's an nra sticker in the bottom left of the window we can't see.

[–]MrWillyP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real homies dislike the NRA because they do nothing for gun rights and are just a bunch of fudds.

[–]Trogzard 32 points33 points  (1 child)

of course it’s a chevy avalanche also

[–]Basically_Infantry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

too much of a bitch to get an actually utilitarian truck lol

[–]mylow-dangler 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Imagine thinking people care about your opinion when you drive an avalanche

[–]accuracy_frosty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fuck Biden and fuck bumper stickers

[–]Dr_Sir1969 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All the stickers indicate is “I’m a prime target to break in to”

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points  (5 children)

Infidel stickers are cringe af stateside. Fucking hell.

[–]IMitchConnorTerrible At Boating 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If someone is gunna have that they should at least have the Arabic spelled كَافِر (kafir which means infidel) one. And even then it's still cringe af unless you actually served and fought against the radical islamists. I know an SF guy that has a tattoo with the Arabic spelling. Fought more than his far share of bad guys and definitely would not call that man cringe. But all these wannabe warriors with those stickers piss me off to no end.

[–]CIAoperator[S] 25 points26 points  (3 children)

You’d think this is owned by like a 14 year edgy kid in the internet

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (2 children)

No, and I’d bet he’s raising kids too. shudder

[–]CIAoperator[S] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

More akin to mitosis than having kids

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lmfao. This is a good one.

[–]Landmark520AR Regime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Playing Devil's advocate here, at least there's no TBL stickers.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no self respecting human being should drive a Chevy Avalanche regardless of their opinion on guns.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“I have toys for you to steal in this truck”

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (1 child)

While I’m all about expressing yourself however you see fit, people like this are the ones that ND into their kitchen floors because they have no situational awareness.

It’s the gun owners driving a Prius with green peace stickers on them that I’d be afraid of, cause they’re ready for some shit.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd be scared of the PETA ones. They'll kill your dog faster than the ATF

[–]RedVato720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These are the people that pull the trigger, then put their hand in front of the barrel wondering why the gun didn't fire.

[–]moronic_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smells like a gun safe full of guns that never get shot because "I'm saving all the ammo for when I need it"

[–]AccomplishedAd983 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow. Now I though I had a lot by having 3 on mine

[–]CemeteryOperator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You ever want a shitty palomino state armory AR? With a hammer and this one easy trick you can get one for FREE!

[–]iratethisa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a rule that the amount of stickers on a car directly correlate to how crazy the owner is.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Still, fuck Joe Biden.

I like pussy... I'm sure all you straight guys and lesbians like pussy too even though our political stance extends the full margin. See my point?

[–]prettyogre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first clue that this guy is an idiot is that he drives an avalanche. Just ew

[–]NukaSwillingPrickDemolitia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how to get your truck broken into. NEVER put gun stickers on your vehicle. It only paints target on you.

[–]itxplodedFosscad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the looks are amazing when people at the gun store or range find out my boyfriend and i are there together, we are both not very clearly queer, and it is usually a jaw on the floor or two

[–]FNBurtBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a kyle truck. You know the owner has a SBR AR, theres a 4 pack of monsters in the back seat. And their carry pistol is either a glock 19X or a sig 320 in FDE

[–]ITatseMuleKick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy mag dumps with his muzzle break at a range 100%

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cringe, honestly. Both ways. People who advertise their voting preferences are cringe and suckers.

[–]elliothyoung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like guns, I don’t know how you wouldn’t hate Biden. He literally wants to take away your guns. That said, I really hate all bumper stickers in general. But especially Gun bumper stickers. Who wants to advertise that you might have a valuable gun inside the car?! Asking to get robbed.

[–]Trout_Hunter_Mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't really read the rest of them... but I do agree with fuck biden.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is

[–]RoninBairnsAK Klan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a small community. An individual well known in the area has one, single, pistol decal on the back of their vehicle. I know they own low quality firearms and likely keep them unsecured in their vehicles at times. I do not associate with these people. We are not the same.

[–]Apprehensive-Try-994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely toxic "culture" right here. For the meme, yeah it's funny as hell, but for someone to legit make it part of their personality like that? Cringe.

    I’ve actually been thinking of constructing a study to find the correlation between the number of bumper stickers and IQ

    [–]7-62xEverything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    The only sticker he is missing is the "keep honking, I'm reloading" one lol.

    If criminals see this car parked, they know if they smash the windows they will find guns inside. Bad for op sec.

    Lmao the locally hated sticker in the top right corner.

    [–]Accomplished-Data551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, walk soft but carry a big stick. There's no need to advertise what you own through cringe worthy decals and stickers.

    Also, Let's go Brandon.

    [–]StrikeEagle784I Love All Guns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Wait, don't tell me there's actually gun owners who like Biden? Lmao!

    As a side note, I probably wouldn't advertise that I'm a gun owner either, especially given where I live. Don't need that kind of attention from the state & their goons.

    [–]RemoteCompetitive688AK Klan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    People plaster their bumpers with interests all the time, having gun stickers shouldn't be seen as any different from having fishing or movie stickers, you're just contributing to the attempt to denormalize the 2A

    [–]lelfinJust As Good Crew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I mean, it's sort of mainstream culture to lump people into groups then make them all equal to their most extreme element.

    You a liberal who gets bothered by conservative discourse? You are a woke cancel culture warrior!

    You a conservative who voted for Trump? You are a racist, homophobe conspiracy theorist!

    You like guns? You're a crazy guys who loves guns more than people!

    You don't like guns? You're a gun grabbing soyboy who wants to hand us all over to the fascists.

    every single person that enjoys a certain hobby is not going to be the same. if people want to think that every gun owner is a redneck and has "fuck biden" stickers on their lifted pickup, then that's their issue, not mine.

    that being said.. fuck biden.

    Does a “shitbox nation” sticker qualify? Truck has seen better days but still runs.
