The correct answer to "Why the sticker?" is "Why the fascism?"

    In a Rambo movie, its cool as hell.

    IRL, I've got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.

    This is the difference between someone who wants to use their gun defensively and someone who just wants an excuse to murder people.

    You don't unholster your gun unless you're prepared to take a life. You pray you never have to.

    But there are just too many people who are thirsty to take a life and that should worry all of us.

    Even hunting takes something out of you. It's a feeling not like another to take a life, and not a good feeling at all.

    Something tells me you've never been shot at. It's not just a videogame.

    But you do get to make a horcrux and become immortal.

    Comedy aside, well said.

    Um, where else did you get your original definition of a horcrux?

    Right. The vague concept existed before in many different forms. She put hircruxes in her books and made them a thing that people understood. I'm not saying she's a great writer, but she clearly appealed to a lot of people with her writing, and not just kids. Her stories at least had decent morals. I'm not defending any of her anti-trans crap, but her Harry Potter fiction is a separate thing.
