A target really doesn’t say much of anything.  It is neither overtly pro or con on the
issue of guns.  Honestly, I would hope that this piece causes people to
pause for just a moment and think about so many toys being given to
innocent children and so many soldiers fighting for causes in which they
may or may not believe.  I hope the piece bears witness to “too many”
… as in too many guns, too many plastic soldier toys, too many wasted
lives.
