Not in this day and age.
Serving notice or asking for trouble?

I find it interesting that lots of people seem to be afraid to drive around with gun related stickers while lots of others are not afraid to drive around with rainbow stickers.

I went into a tea shop owned by a Brit, and the owner says to me, "All they have to do is quit selling ammunition". I said, "What?".
She repeated herself.
After I left, I realized I had on my NRA hat.
Just wanted to say that. I won't put stickers on my car. Too many crazies out there.

That's because we are civilized and they aren't.
That is only your opinion. Opinions don't carry much weight with the general public if you hide them.
BTW I have seen as many uncivilized nut job WEs as I have THEYs.

On Brits in the US .... I was working in plain clothes, i.e. dress pants, polished boots, dress shirt, and tie in Deming, NM when I went into a Snappy Mart convenience store by I-10. I had my High Power in a holster, my badge in front of the holster on a belt clip, handcuffs in a case, and one spare mag in a carrier, all on a matching belt. This was customary for police adminstrators or investigators, as it was too hot for suitcoats.
While standing in line waiting to pay for my Coke, a Brit apparently just passing through did a double take and announced loudly, "He's got a gun - he's got a gun!" in a panicked voice. Locals in line looked at him like he was from Mars; he put down his purchase, hurried to his car, and drove away as fast as he could.
Must have been interstate-driving-induced paranoia.

My step-daughter's MIL is a Brit. She sat my grandson down and made him promise not to go near guns, into stores that sold guns, and to stay away from cops.
My step-daughter told him it is ok to do those things when he's with me. That was when he was small. He's older now and I take him shooting.

Don't you ever shoot them?

I don't think there is an alternative community in North America.

I can't understand the point of some of these people too terrified of a sticker on their car but they are all dead sure they are going to blast their way out of a Walmart take over or home invasion. I wouldn't even carry a gun if I was afraid of an NRA sticker on my bumper or window.
There are all kinds of stickers these days.
Baby on board - you may have at least one kid in your car. So you’re probably an easy target.
Soccer mom - you’re not home at least one day a week.
Gun stickers - self explanatory.
My kid is xyz school honor roll - thanks for telling me where your kid goes to school.
And last, the stickers which show every family member - dumb. Just dumb.

Absolutely asking for trouble! The same goes for burglar alarm company signs on your house.
I live outside a town with a population of about 1500. There is another 5,000 in the 20 mile circle around it. The paper prints the police calls and I don't recall ever seeing a vehicle break in report. More importantly, no one mentions it at a coffee shop. There were some thieves who hit storage units a couple of years ago. Rural outbuildings may get some items missing, I just don't hear about cars. In the cities nearer me, both 50,000 and a smaller one half that size it might be different.

Is there any empirical data proving that cars with stickers get broken into more often than not?

I had to comment about stickers on vehicles because this morning on my way to the hardware store I pulled up behind a truck that had at least 100 or more stickers/decals on it. I had to do a double take. Putting a sticker or stickers on vehicles is an individual choice that allows someone to express their beliefs. However, I have never liked the idea or look of putting bumper stickers or decals on any vehicle I have ever owned. I just like to keep my Jeep clean inside and out as much as possible and don't need to promote or advertise thoughts or products.
Just my State Inspection sticker and carwash pass on the bottom of the windshield is all I got.

Your a hell of a man Jack.
Nobody is terrified. We don’t do the things we do to help you understand.
It’s a way of life. Especially with first responders and military folks.
If you have ever heard of Information Security and Operational Security, then you would understand.
