I think it's in horrible taste, no matter what it is, but the context could be a mitigator, if only slightly.

The Zombie Paris I can get behind...the target I find horrifying.

I came across this which might be the context--pretty ugly.

The Eureka Gun Club has 50 or 100 packs of 'Trayvon Targets' for sale at the range.
Over the weekend they sold out of 1000 targets with 4000 more coming on Tuesday.
Kids 10 and younger get a free target and a NRA button.

I hope the NRA gets a lot of pushback on this, if they know about it.
FWIW: I m NOT against responsible gun ownership at all.
