[Vision2020] Shameless?

[Saundra Lund]

Ron, thanks for sharing the Amazon & Zombie Industries update – I was one of many who contacted Amazon about selling “The Ex,” and I’m glad to hear the campaign was successful.

 

Paul, as usual, I don’t find your attempts to jerk our chains amusing.  At all.  It’s beyond ridiculous to argue that on the one hand, The Ex will have no “real impact” on the murders of women in spite of the documented role of gun availability in domestic violence, and on the other hand, argue -- on the basis of something from Alex Jones’ InfoWars, no less -- that DHS & law enforcement are being desensitized so they’ll feel free comfortable opening fire on Americans.  Ridiculous.

 

As for the whopping 2,000,000 hits you assert as validity for the InfoWars nonsense, I can Google a whole lot of things that are absolutely ridiculous and come up with 2,000,000 Google hits.

 

But, since this is America, you keep right on drinking the paranoia Kool-Aid you’ve developed a recent taste for  J

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.  

Paul

>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  <http://houston.cbslocal.com/2013/05/07/nra-convention-vendor-sells-bleeding-female-mannequin-target-called-the-ex/> 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  <http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/05/08/1981721/amazon-pulls-bleeding-ex-girlfriend-shooting-target-after-outcry/> stopped selling it.
