DHS Target Purchase??

DHS Contractor Apologizes For Selling Shooting Targets of Children

“Offensive” cut-outs depicting pregnant women, gun owners in residential settings removed from website

A company which received $2 million dollars from the DHS has apologized and taken offline “no more hesitation” shooting targets which depicted pregnant women, children, and elderly gun owners in residential settings as “non-traditional threats,” following an online uproar.
As we first reported on Tuesday, Law Enforcement Targets Inc. (LET), a Minneapolis based company that has received almost $2 million dollars in contracts from the Department of Homeland Security over the last three years, recently began selling cardboard cut-out targets designed to desensitize police to “non-traditional threats,” including pregnant women, mothers in school playgrounds, and little boys, as well as elderly gun owners in their homes.
The company’s relationship with the DHS, along with thousands of law enforcement agencies, led to fears that the targets could be connected with Homeland Security’s purchase of roughly 2 billion rounds of ammunition over the last year, which many fear is linked to preparations for mass social unrest. As we documented, the LET’s contracts with the DHS were for “training aids” and “paperboard”.
In its apology, posted on the company’s website as well as Facebook, LET acknowledged that the targets were requested by law enforcement agencies.

Saw this last week and wondered if it would gain any traction.
How would they feel if "no hesitation" targets were sold to the triple-ply tinfoil hat crowd.
Maybe ones with pictures of people in uniforms with big letters on them, weapons holstered, with their backs turned.
Free speech?

Mine still has Henry Fonda's daughter's picture on it - hasn't changed in over 40 years. One day maybe...
And so it goes...

WTF? Where is that Sports Illustrated Racism thread? All the people pictured on those targets are white! Is that racism? Reverse affirmative action?
And for all of you chicken/egg folks out there...if you shoot that pregnant woman (and she definitely needs shooting, since she has a gun...), do you know which states you will be charged for 2 murders in? Even though if she aborted it, that's OK in all 50?

Thread derailed? Check and mate...

No, we're just desensitized.

Anyone know if 1933-1945 German targets had pictures of Jews on them?
I'd like them to come out with a "Cop series" so the libs can practice surrendering, and others can practice, well, not.

All the pictures I've seen show them using a simple bullseye variant of either paper or wood.

Even the Nazis weren't that stupid.
