So we defend the 2nd Amendment in many cases by making analogies to the 1st Amendment, except we don't...

I think some here are missing a key factor: Antis may use the zombie gear to ridicule gunners, but it is the serious, defense against humans gear and training aids that actually scare them.

A gun shop full of zombie targets, ammo, etc would provide smugly satisfied amusement to most of the antis I know. A gun shop full of B27s, Hostage scenario photographic targets, ammo boxes marked LE Only, and books on shooting on the move or defensive tactics against multiple assailants - now that would scare them into calling their elected officials.

So, some of you are fixating on a false threat, and suggesting that some of our own should forgo their 1st Amendment rights for our collective good... or am I missing something?
