That is messed up!

[c.a.willard]

Some would call it messed up, some would call it prudent.  The goal is to get the officers to the point that they no longer see children, women, elderly etc. just threat vs non threat.  Personally i don't have any problem with it. 

[Guest ThePunisher]

Just goes to show the government insensitivity toward its citizenry. Hell, I've read that Obama is removing top military brass that would not shoot on the people of our country. This bunch of commies in power are up to no good, but I've never known any pinko commies that do good anyhow.

[Danger Rane]

I can see how it could be alarming given the current political situation, but these types of targets have been in use by elements of the military (and presumably Law Enforcement) for quite a while. The idea is to get the shooter to quickly distinguish threat or non threat via facts of the situation, instead of using feelings or stereotypes.

 

I still have a few lying around and got some strange looks a while back at the range when I hung up a target of a pregnant white chick holding a revolver to the head of a ginormous black dude.

Thank God there are only white people on those targets. Anything else would have been offensive and racist.

[tnsyty]

Technically, everyone in the targets are a threat since they are pointing a gun at me, just found the story interesting.

So buy up billions of rounds of ammo, increase the number of ABC agencies who have access to weapons, then buy targets to desensitize agents in training.

 

Where are we heading here?

[Sam1]

Those posters are racist, why are there only white people offered there? Think I'm going to start a stink about this one

Yep, I'm thinking of how to start in on this one.

[Will H]

Have you not heard?  There is no such thing as being racist towards white people...

[TrickyNicky]

Yeah lots of people will make this out to be much more than it is. Of course when we point out there's no story here and certainly nothing worth worrying over, they will be sure to classify us as blind ignorant sheeple or liberal commie sympathizers.

[frankmako]

only white people are the danger/problem these days.  as we can see, all others get a free pass.  it has been coming to this for many years.  get ready.

[TrickyNicky]

Actually the more I think if it I wouldn't mind having a pregnant chick holding big dude hostage target. That could come in handy, somehow, maybe.

[frankmako]

only white people are the problem.  all others get a free pass. been that way for sometime now.  most of you don't know half of it.  get ready.

[TrickyNicky]

<YAWN> Another thread about this? And before the coffee even?
Nothing to see here folks, move along, move along.

[strickj]

DHS supplier sells targets of american gun owners"

 

I have some targets from the very same supplier of children with guns. Doesn't mean that DHS is prepping to kill your children because LET sold me these targets.

 

Never let a good conspiracy go to waste!

 

 

 

[Jesse]

Do they make police targets?

[Sam1]

Probably not, because shooting at a pregnant woman is more acceptable than OBL or uniformed services silhouettes

I posted something on Facebook yesterday about this and the purchasing of ammo.  I have a friend who is a deputy US Marshall and he provided some insight that made a little sense.  I trust this guy, he's a stand up person, he's the kind of guy that would walk from his job if asked to do something like fire on innocent civilians.  I'm just going to quote him directly on some of his interesting points from our conversation.  Thought his perspective was enlightening.

 

*It's all the ammo purchased for all federal law enforcement as well as the
federal law enforcement training center (FLETC) for the upcoming
training year. Nothing new. Conspiracy theorists are just looking for
crap to stir up the masses.

 

*There's 15 million rounds used annually just for one FLETC training site. Now
include all federal agencies' individual training sites and carry ammo.
Yes, there's that much shooting going on. Correction
on my previous post. It's supposed to five years worth of ammo.
Government gets a deal buying bulk and I'm guessing on this one but
we've been told there will be 10% minimum cuts across the board for all
agencies. Somebody was hopefully smart enough to see the writing on the wall and made the order out of this
fiscal years funds before it's not available next year and possibly a
few more to come.. We (Dept. of Justice) got an email from the Attorney
General saying that furloughs were a probability this year. For some
reason media is making a big deal about it being hollow point ammo too.
Don't know why. That's all we've carried since I've been on the job. The
military are the ones carrying FMJ rounds. We don't use those in law
enforcement for many reasons. Over penetration (read liability) and not
effectively stopping the threat without multiple hits being the main
two.

 

*15 million a year is just FLETC's use. You have to figure in every federal
law enforcement office around the country and overseas for training and
duty carry ammo.

 

*To put into perspective I shoot between 15000 and 20000 rounds a year.

 

*It's not DHS only. Every federal agency goes through training at FLETC
except FBI and DEA. They have stand alone academies that will get a
portion of that ammo too. The 15 mil a year doesn't take into account
the ammo used at their academies and that's quite a bit more. I'm just telling you what I know. If don't believe me
that's your choice.

 

*Edit: Also forgot to mention that DHS are the ones
funding (provide ammo for)the advanced training schools that the local
and state police go to as well.

Down a hole, fast.

BINGO! My first thought as well.

[Volphin]

I see the value in these targets as they mentally train you to see the threat.  They should be more indicative of the population though.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Well, the first target on the page is a pregnant woman. They like abortions. They should have named it the Roe v Wade

target. I'm confident there will be more to follow along the same vein.
