"Still, why stop at silhouettes? What about targets that actually show figures of people? What about popular 'zombie' targets? They’re not human any more, are they? Fortunately, for Kirkland’s esteemed 'peace officers,' they’ll still be able to blow away 'No More Hesitation' models of 'white-privileged' pregnant women and kids, at least while their already-purchased supplies last. And I guess as long as we’re exploring the absurd, another ridiculous question or two is in order: Could I have a silhouette target of someone who looks human, but isn't? For some reason Star Trek’s android Data comes to mind..." |

Consider... One picture is worth a thousand words.
A silhouette is a picture.
It must therefore equate to words, you know, speech.
The First Amendment protects my freedom to speak.
Ergo, this proposal is a violation of the First Amendment and an attack on the Second. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
