“What can I do to publicly shame the gun owners in my neighborhood”?


A truly amazing question I was asked this holiday season. 
“What can I do to publicly shame the gun owners in my neighborhood”?

First, this is a very disturbing question for many reasons. My opinion, it’s no one’s business. Period. I have the Second amendment Right to Own Firearms whether they like it or not to protect my family, friends and home. I say, please, mind your own business.

Second, how do you know that you have gun owners in your neighborhood and how do you know who they all are? Maybe you live in a gun free utopia and don’t even know it. A public display to shame nonexistent gun owners would upset the status quo of your neighborhood.

Third, if you want to publicly shame them, I suggest you proudly display either sign that proclaims your strongly held belief and gun free status prominently on your property: (see above)

Posting this sign above will force them to reconsider their shameful ownership of firearms and they will have no choice but to surrender them; they won’t be able to live with themselves.

Try it. See how it works for you. And be sure to report back to me.

Oh, and I’m sure your gun owning neighbors, out of extreme shame and remorse, would be more than happy to see signs like this in your yard.
