13. Not much you could do to stop them, really.

May 2012

I see tons of different targets sold at shooting ranges; Bin Laden, Saddam, gunmen w/ hostages, thugs, Obama, other politicians, zombies, silhouettes, animal shapes, bullseyes, etc. I don't think it breaks any laws so there's probably nothing that can be done. Shooting at targets of high-profile dead teenagers is a pretty asshole thing to do.

There is a range I go to that lets patrons bring and shoot at "No Guns Allowed" signs (presumably taken/stolen from wherever)... I always get a chuckle out of the irony of anti-gun signs with bullet holes in them. Personally, I shoot @ paper plates, USPSA silhouettes, or X's drawn on blank sheets of computer paper.

I would guess that shooting at an Obama target would be illegal. I don't know, but it seems to me. robinlynne May 2012 #14
