Looking at this just makes me all warm and tingly inside. Standing ovation to whoever had the brass cojones to beard the lion in his den. I like to imagine that they did this while talking to the ATF rep with a straight face.

They could have at least spelled it right...

Yeah, it kinda loses some of its punch. :(

When "debating" a loud collectivist type dude on a local forum, I love it when he winds up and fires "Your an idiot" at me. Makes me laugh every time.

Apparently that's the least common of three transliterated spellings.

Also: spelling, color of sticker, or quality of typeface isn't really the point here, is it? :)

Sometimes my inner English-usage pedant gets off the leash. This is one of my favorite responses to your-vs-you're...

I always thought "beard the lion in his den" meant to confront someone on his or her own territory.
Tagging a poster with a bumper sticker doesn't seem like much of a confrontation to me: just a watered-down version of the school rebel who smears dog poop on the principal's car.

Except I guess the principal would actually care... where these ATF agents most likely shrugged and said, "It's a disposable sign anyway."

That Mac Lethal video, on the other hand, is awesome.

There's another picture I saw on subguns where someone (ostensibly a Bureau employee) appears to be attempting to remove the sticker from the sign.

My favorite so far is the pic JulieG snapped of a dude running around the SHOT show dressed like Where's Waldo.

Why would you describe this picture and not post it. You hurt me.

Why the hate for the ATF?

Genuinely curious, possibly uninformed (OK usually), and not trolling
