"That is a nice target. BTW: Citizens of the Peoples' Demokratic Republik of Massachusetts are not allowed to shoot at targets that look human. The whiney liberal Democrats who run the place passed that law several years ago."
""It is, without a doubt, one of the most idiotic laws I've ever heard of -- and I've heard of a lot of idiotic laws. The state, not surprisingly, is Massachusetts. The law, the brainchild of Democratic Rep. Christopher Hodgkins, says that state-licensed gun clubs "shall not permit shooting at targets that depict human figures, human effigies, human silhouettes or any human images thereof, except by public safety personnel performing in line with their official duties." Violation of this law could result in revocation of a club's license and a fine of no less than $1,000 and no more than $10,000."
"In defense of this absurd law, Massachusetts Acting Governor Jane Swift has said its purpose is "to stop target practice that arguably increases the practicer's capacity to shoot human beings." She has also said: "A target depicting a human is not a symbol. Rather, it is an object that permits a person to become more proficient at using deadly force on a human being.""
Then there was this jewel from an idiotic appeals court:
"Echoing this assertion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit declared: "A person who has practiced shooting at a human-shaped target will likely be more proficient at shooting humans than a person who has had to practice at a circular target.""
i should hope so. Now i made myself puke.
