It’s no secret that the NRA<\/a> doesn’t agree with the gun legislation President Obama has endorsed in the wake of the Newtown school shooting<\/a> in December. However, a political disagreement isn’t the same as a threat, even when the topic is gun rights. To prove this, the NRA has gone to great lengths to distance itself from a few of the more disturbing aspects of the U.S. gun culture.<\/p>\n

This week, BuzzFeed is reporting<\/a> that the NRA has asked Zombie Industries to remove a specific mannequin target from its booth at the NRA Annual Meeting last weekend. A booth-worker for the company told the publication that an NRA representative asked them to remove the mannequin because it looks too much like President Barack Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zombie Industries sells mannequin targets styled to look like zombies. The targets are life-sized and “bleed” pink goo when shot. The questionable mannequin is dubbed the “Rocky Zombie,” and does resemble the current U.S. president, despite being a bright shade of green.<\/p>\n

Zombie Industries sells over a dozen different zombie mannequin target models, including a boar, a wolf, a kangaroo, a clown, a “nazi,” and a “terrorist<\/a>” that greatly resembles Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n

The company’s zombies were featured last year in an episode of the Discovery Channel reality TV show Sons of Guns<\/em>:<\/p>\n
