BigRedBuster Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think 95% of gun owners would claim that those targets are stupid and inappropriate and they shouldn't be at the convention. But, what sucks is that non-gun owners then paint a majority of gun owners into a group that think those are cool. This is no different than most controversial groups. Radical Muslim terrorists make some people think all Muslims are terrorists. Weirdos that show up for gay rights parades make some people think that all gay people are freaks and weirdos. Radical fundamentalist bible thumping Christians make some people think that all Christians are like that. The fact is, in every group, there is going to be some faction of it that is not indicative of what the general population of the group is but the outside world thinks so. Link to comment
carlfense Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think 95% of gun owners would claim that those targets are stupid and inappropriate and they shouldn't be at the convention. Really? I've noted that the gun owners that I associate with are responsible individuals . . . but it's hard to think of too many that would say that these targets are inappropriate and shouldn't be at the convention. Their hatred of Obama is . . . passionate. They'd be slightly more likely (IMO) to denounce the "Ex" version but it would probably get more laughs than anything. Link to comment

I would think that the NRA would grow some balls and state that targets of humans should be limited to silhouettes. After all, I understand that they oppose gun violence. Link to comment

It is amazing how many people fit a stereotype, but complain about there being said stereotype. Link to comment

Where do you get the idea they oppose gun violence? It can't be from the speakers. They like gun violence, as long as its 'responsible gun violence' done by NRA members. Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Wonder how female gun owners feel about the targets. Did they make male targets as well? Link to comment

I wonder if it is in reference to Rocky Balboa. Because, you know, Sly and Obama look a lot alike. Link to comment
