[Vision2020] Shameless?

[Paul Rumelhart]

I see this as a joke product.  In bad taste, yes, but I doubt it will have any real impact on homicide statistics.

What concerns me more is the Department of Homeland Security buying targets of pregnant women, moms with toddlers, young kids, and the elderly all holding guns.  Why do they feel the need to desensitize their employees and law enforcement officials that they train to the elderly and the young?  

Link for the target story:  http://www.examiner.com/article/company-selling-targets-with-images-of-americans-to-dhs-for-firearms-training

As an aside, I couldn't find a "normal" source for this story, even though google turned up almost 2,000,000 hits for it.  So you'll have to do with the Examiner.

From Joe Nocera (New York Times):

Two of today’s shootings involve men who allegedly gunned down their wives and other family members. In fact, many shootings covered in our daily report are domestic. This sad fact has apparently not gone unnoticed by Zombie Industries, an N.R.A. convention vendor famous for marketing a target that resembles President Obama. The company is under fire this week for marketing a mannequin shooting target in the likeness of a bleeding woman. Dubbed “The Ex,” the blond mannequin is clad in a tight white shirt and violet bra and actually bleeds fakes blood when shot. After an outcry, Amazon just yesterday stopped selling it.
