Bumper stickers are often used to create a short, eye catching, and have a message. Gun control has become one of the biggest issues in America now and the government is constantly deliberating how to handle the situation. Bumper stickers are often used to create a short, eye catching, and have a message. This bumper sticker tries to bring light to the situation and get more people talking about it, by making a joke about the author of the Game of Thrones series. George R.R. Martin is infamous for killing off so many of his main characters in his books. He leads his fans on and lets them get very attached to the character, and with no hesitation finds a way to led them die.

Based off this bumper sticker we are given the message that it is not guns that kill people, it is the people that use the guns who are actually doing the killing. The message is directed toward people that think that America should have major reform on gun control, and should limit guns and who are allowed to purchase them. The author of this message wants people who believe that to change their opinions and realize that it is not the guns that are doing the actual killing.The other component of the message which refers to the Game of Thrones author brightens the situation a little, and also catches the audience’s eyes better. The audience would be able to understand the situation better if they were able to relate and get a better grasp of the issue.
