Anyway, am I missing something here about shooting zombies that I should be aware of???
Zombies have hit something of a critical mass in pop culture. From high-budget Hollywood movies, to no-budget z-grade flicks, to a tv show, to video games, to graphic novels, to actual novels, to
shoehorning zombies into novels that didn't have them in the first place, zombies have been gnawing on the brains of the American zeitgeist for awhile now.
For those who are bent on preparedness, there's a general feeling that "if you're prepared to withstand the zombie apocalypse, you can probably withstand just about any kind of disaster."
What's interesting is that this concept has gone so mainstream, even
the CDC has picked up on it.
Given the prevalence of zombies in pop culture, and their perception as an "acceptable target," it's no great surprise that targets sporting zombies have popped up, and from there, ammunition for shooting them.
Ultimately, the creation of this ammo is a marketing gimmick designed to cash in on the current popularity of zombies in the larger culture.
t is funny and humorous, right up until the anti-gun people get hold of it and point out that since there's no such things as zombies, guy people must be planning to use it to shoot hungry unarmed people. Why the gun industry would hand the anti's such a great negative marketing tool in order to make gun owners look like crazy paranoids is beyond me. It may be a joke, but since people vote based on preceptions, I just don't see this ending well.
I find it amusing that for every one pro-gun person who's actually willing to go out and research what the anti-rights activists are up to, there are at least 50 pro-gun people who project their fears on them.
The anti-rights bigots are generally unaware of minor developments like this in the shooting culture, and even if they do become aware of something like this, it's highly unlikely that their actions would result in actual anti-gun legislation.
