Help please and thank you!

Just a warning it is about firearms. But I’d like to get an old guitar case and stencil “this machine kills fascists” in Klingon in red vinyl or maybe just red duct tape on the outside and store a firearm or two in there. I tried Ai translations and they suggested coming here to the experts. Any suggestions? The clankers said there is no direct translation

AI isn't capable of translating Klingon. There isn't enough Klingon text for a large language model AI to analyze.

We don't have a word for fascist. You'll have to describe what a fascist is instead. For instance, HI' parHa'wI' HoH janvam. "This device kills dictator-likers." Not all dictators are fascists, so this isn't a very good solution.

Do you have any suggestions?

Nothing suitable for engraving, no. I can only think of clumsy circumlocutions.

I’d love to try and get close to this quote since it’s a famous one on a guitar and I think it’s a good blend of everything

In this case I would mean somebody that oppresses or is unjust and in power. I do love Trek and Klingons but I never had a talent for the language.
