Now, that's a wonderful gift. Perhaps we should start preparing for Christmas a bit earlier than Bushie this year.

http://www.policymic.com/articles/40049/nra-vendor-sells-ex-girlfriend-target-that-bleeds-when-you-shoot-it

Just when you thought the NRA's annual convention in Houston this weekend couldn't draw any more negative attention, it goes out and casually promotes a company selling a product that can help you practice shooting your ex-girlfriend. You know, in case you need that to defend yourself one day. We all know them ex-honeys can be crazzzzy.

The target, which is delightfully called "the ex," is sold by a vendor who was present at the annual convention. Although it's unclear if they displayed the mannequin or not, it was included in the pamphlet they displayed at their booth.  The company goes by the name of Zombie Industries and markets itself as the maker of "life-sized tactical mannequin targets." After you shoot directly at it, the target will bleed and eventually look like this.





The company has a line of 15 zombies (one of which resembled President Obama so much that it was pulled from the conference by the NRA) and only one is female. "To discriminate against Women by not having them represented in our product selection would be just plain sexist," the website says. YES, because having the only female character in your line of mannequin targets be "the ex-girlfriend" doesn't reinforce sexist and fatally dangerous stereotypes.

This is why the GOP (and when I say GOP, as always I mean those in charge of the whole racket) and NRA get along so well.  They both have this inclination towards population control... specifically the poors and uneducated who love their rhetoric.  Some of them get killed... the others go to jail (where they work for nothing). 

How else do you explain the fact that nothing they say makes any logical sense in and of itself?

Well at least they're finally being forthright about what they're doing.

This is absolutely disgusting.  The only good thing to be said about it is that the outrage against this is mildly encouraging.

Still, I'm more concerned about DHS training their officers on targets with cutouts of children and pregnant women - though admittedly those aren't as high-tech.

If USA was a normal country, they would be under government watch as every far-right organisation.

So killing fake people is worse than killing real people?

If so, I know a lot of mass murderers who play video games.
