How do u feel about the new shooting targets out about treyvon martin

[mobodyguard]

Someone created some shooting targets that represented treyvon Martin, and their stating its not about him, but the target is holding a bag of skittles and a red soda and the person has a hoodie on

Somehow I dont see this as giving gun owners a positive image...

 

[fudo]

I have not seen these targets, but you would have to be congenitally deranged or irretrievably stupid to buy or sell them.

 

[localgirl]

Pretty tasteless.

I look at it from the perspective of "how i would justify this to a jury if i had to?" i.e.; I am involved in a self defense shooting and, either at the criminal or inevitable civil trial, it is revealed. An ADA/plaintif attorney would have a field day with it. A target like that, just too inflammatory for me. I feel a jury would look at it as just plain mean-spirited or racist.

I think it is a mistake. There is no need to do something in such poor taste and I agree it gives gun owners a bad rap.

 

[imrambi]

It sounds like good no shoot targets.

 

[JHart]

I find that anyone trying to make money off of the suffering of another offensive.

I think capitalism has boundaries.

Good point. If no one buys any they will go away faster than they appeared.

[southernriders]

Calm down now...deep breaths...who are you quoting?

 

[southernriders]

Not quoting anyone just saying what's the point of bringing this up? It's just stupid don't stir **** up!!!

Bad taste and not helping getting people back to looking at facts instead of colors.

Unfortunately it does not have boundaries or taste. Not only are there people that will sell such things there are people that will buy them. This is just one example but it is not the worst, first or last. As for me I will not buy nor sell bur I appreciate the OP letting us know about them, look out for them and if we see someone selling them express our displeasure at their tastelessness.

A clever and effective way to make money, but beyond tasteless.

Al, Jessie, and the liberal race-baiting media can thank themselves for creating the atmosphere in which such things could be effectively marketed.

There is always someone tihinking they can make a profit off someone else's troubles. In the end, they will get what's coming to them, and it won't be financial rewards.
