If someone here has the time and the means, please mock-up in Photoshop or some such, a sign / sticker, etc., designed with a (disgusted) nod to the sadly all too common gun-free zone signs, that reads as follows:
“This is most definitely NOT a gun-free zone. So if you’re thinking about doing something stupid, you’re gonna want to look elsewhere.”
Beneath the sign should be something like the ubiquitous red circle with diagonal red line signifying a disallowed behavior, only inside it should be a simple iconographic representation of a person or persons (like a family, perhaps) being held up — hands in the air, eg. — by an aggressor (maybe the silhouette can indicate a hoodie — which is far more common these days on criminals than a mask and a white shirt with horizontal black stripes).
The sign should be sized so as to be printable, and we can make them available for download and printout; we can have several sticker designs, from a decal for windows (kind of our own Second Amendment version of an ADT sticker) to bumper stickers.
Time to start letting the ruling class and opportunistic nannystatists know that they can’t milk every tragedy to take away our rights, and that in fact, we realize that it is because we have these rights that we are safer than the people in that Aurora theater who were rendered impotent and passive as a result of their willingness to follow dangerous, feel-good rules.
Which is what law-abiding citizens tend to do, and which those intent on wrecking mass havoc do not.
A revolutionary idea.
That’s a lot to put on a sticker, but I’ve been working on shit like this in my free time for the last couple of months (see blog link). I could work something up when I have time.
Found this and this online. Not exactly what you wanted, but in the ballpark.
Feel free to delete if these blow out the page, jg.

I’ve seen the reflexive lefty criticism of the “two Aurora shootings” argument, which is that the defender in the church was an off-duty cop. So far, they haven’t had any good rebuttal for my riposte, which is that another word for “off-duty cop” is “civilian.”

Well, heck.
Someone feel free to delete those.
How about as a link. Here.
That’s funny, RTO. But it’s also why I thought that this idea was a lot going on for an ADT-type sticker.
I like to keep an air of mystery, myself.
The “No guns, no money” cards you can hand out to businesses that want you to make yourself an unarmed victim are pretty cool, though.

Using RTO’s idea, something simple like this might work:

I’ll try once more, then I give up:

I like it, Abe.

I was thinking today a picture of a homeless bum with a sign saying “will provide infrastructure for food” would be pretty funny.
Taxes are investments in public grants that become union dues that become political contributions that lead to higher taxes.
Welcome to fucked over, population you.

So how do you figuratively go on strike? Keep showing up for a paycheck, but not really give a shit about doing your job?
Yeah, Bloomers, that is much better.

Kind of like they do now.
Stupid html.
I have zero skills to contribute here but I really like what you guys are doing.
I’ll give this a try come Saturday.
In the meantime…
Oh, that’s a .png with transparency. Float it on a light or white background, it’ll look better…
