Looks like a plausible self defense case. What does the political pumper sticker have to do with it?

Nothing at all.
But just as a personal rule, I put no stickers on my car.
I am incognito.

To the liberal, any speech they dislike is a crime.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.

Exactly. Even if he had it custom made. If you are defending yourself you WANT to have good gun control.

ANYTHING.
Yeah, I know: It's a bumper sticker, so it's more a "press" thing than a "speech" thing. It's still an "expression" and it was used against him by a chicken$#!+ cop.

Police and prosecutors will use any little thing to make their case against self defense these days. The only way to beat them is to S.S.S., if possible.

The police officer included the fact that Weiss had a bumper sticker on his vehicle that said GUN CONTROL IS HITTING YOUR TARGET in the statement of probable cause. The police officer should be sacked for stupidity and clutching at straws.
To: marktwain
The arresting officer may have given the defense a very good cause for dismissal, showing his bias so blatantly in the report..................

He definitely should be arrested and put away for a long time. I’m talking about the cop.

This situation seems to combine a citizen using both the First Amendment and also the Second Amendment.
Probably will see significant jail time. Because tyranny.

This is why a retired police detective friend advised me not to get a concealed carry permit. If I shoot a perp through the head or heart and the court asks why I didn’t shoot him in the leg, I could reply that I was aiming at his leg. LOL. Made a lot of sense to me.
On my truck is a, "Guns Save Lives," sticker right by my Veteran license plate, and this on my rear window:

If that sticker was on the police car of an officer who shot someone, everyone here would already be talking about prison rape and lawsuits.

To answer your question, it has nothing to do with what happened.
For whatever hotshot young prosecutor on the local DA's office gets the case, you can bet that there will most certainly be an attempt to use it as evidence against young Mr. Weiss, unless the judge does the right thing and disallows it as evidence. Maybe, maybe not.
Other salient but really meaningless items: "Magnum caliber", "Hollow points", "High capacity", yes, even "Reloads".
Anything the judge lets them use, they will use.
Chris37 has it right. While slogans like this are amusing if not shopworn, they're a liability after the fact. It's far better to go thru life as a "gray man".
Here in my hometown I know of a certain contractor who had a sign posted on his truck and trailer that was to the effect of "Attention Thieves, If I catch you stealing from me I just might shoot you."
Fortunately someone appealed to his better side and persuaded him to take it down.
Thanks for posting this, BTW, it might help someone out tomorrow.
