doesn't it just give you a thrill to be living on the same planet with decent, moral, rational, family-loving, God-fearing, law-abiding gun-owners?...
Response to geek tragedy (Original post)
They should have kicked them out of the convention hall.
Could there have been some type of legal contract dispute and that's why they chose not to
kick them out?
Even if the target wasn't intentional by the company it just shows bad taste.
Who buys these things
WHAT THE FUCK
I just clicked on the link
Zombie Industries Zombie 3D The Ex
Price: $79.99
In stock.
Life-sized Zombie target BLEEDS when you shoot it!!!
Zombies can be shot more than 1000+ rounds of assorted calibers
Zombie can be reused to finish off another day.
Includes wood stake to mount the Zombie.
And fortunately there is 1 customer review, from Josh:
cue "The Twilight Zone" theme -
Product arrived quickly and in fairly good condition. There were some mark ups on the body and a dent or two, but it didn't take away from the function of the target. This was a very original, cool way to kick off a bachelor party for a firearm enthusiast, such as myself.

So, no surprise, Domestic Violence Statistics:
Every 9 seconds in the US a woman is assaulted or beaten.
Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime. Most often, the abuser is a member of her own family.
Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women—more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.
Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence annually.
Nearly 1 in 5 teenage girls who have been in a relationship said a boyfriend threatened violence or self-harm if presented with a breakup.
Everyday in the US, more than three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends.
Ninety-two percent of women surveyed listed reducing domestic violence and sexual assault as their top concern.
Domestic violence victims lose nearly 8 million days of paid work per year in the US alone—the equivalent of 32,000 full-time jobs.
Based on reports from 10 countries, between 55 percent and 95 percent of women who had been physically abused by their partners had never contacted non-governmental organizations, shelters, or the police for help.
The costs of intimate partner violence in the US alone exceed $5.8 billion per year: $4.1 billion are for direct medical and health care services, while productivity losses account for nearly $1.8 billion.
Men who as children witnessed their parents’ domestic violence were twice as likely to abuse their own wives than sons of nonviolent parents.
Ok, so we've come this far down the ramp of civilized idiocy...let's fall over the edge and Call It Democracy:
Sinister cynical instrument
Who makes the gun into a sacrament --
The only response to the deification
Of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
Idolatry of ideology
North South East West
Kill the best and buy the rest
It's just spend a buck to make a buck
You don't really give a flying fuck
About the people in misery
It's billboards, placards, viral e-mails, tasteless jokes sent around for people to get their chuckles and other things that show the lack of respect for the elected office he serves.
One of the worst parts of a convention like this is they feel they have "comrades in arms." They feed off each other.
We've all heard the term "emotional contagion," which means emotions spread. When we watch laughing baby clips on youtube, that's why we also start laughing. We hear others laughing, in most cases, we might smile or even start laughing.
It would be interesting to study the behavior of these social misfits after they leave the convention.
Furthermore, I think quite a number of them are simply maladjusted, unhappy people who have something wrong with them cognitively or emotionally. As you say, collective IQ of 55, but emotionally, I'll bet you'd find a high number of cases of arrested development.
They find an "emotional family" in the NRA much like kids do when they join gangs.

doubt in my mind who is represented in this image. sick.
and the ex? move on, you're divorced! geez.
So how do we deal with these fascist animals? Common sense means nothing to them - they have all the guns, NRA blood money and congress behind them. We talk and try and hope our leadership won't let us down, yet again.
Kinda sucks being defenseless against these fucking goose steppers.
Just sayin'
