A Florida entrepreneur said he had sold out of gun range targets depicting a faceless, hood-clad figure holding an iced tea and a bag of Skittles meant to look like Trayvon Martin.
"The response is overwhelming," the seller told Orlando's WKMG news team over e-mail. "I sold out in two days." The station did not identify the seller, and said it found the ad on a popular firearms auctioning website.
According to the station, the seller said that that the "main motivation was to make money off the controversy." The seller said that he was a supporter of Zimmerman who thinks "he is innocent and that he shot a thug."
Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's attorney, told the news station that he felt the targets were offensive. "This is the highest level of disgust and the lowest level of civility," O'Mara said. "It's this type of hatred -- that's what this is, it's hate-mongering -- that's going to make it more difficult to try this case."
Technically speaking, that would be a "no shoot" target since targets for training purposes with people's images either have a depiction of a weapon, or not.
Of course anti-2A people wouldn't know this and jumped right in like flies on dog poop.

Yes she did; and, unless she trademarked a faceless image, I don't see where she has a case here.

I love it when people believe gun knowledge is the sole mark of intelligence. I know zero about guns. You don't have to, to know that selling targets with a picture of a dead 17 year old is classless.
I'm not anti-gun, by the way. I am anti-moron-with-gun.
People who'd buy this obscene product are the sort of people who should be kept far, far away from firearms.
