    Do you really think this is an appropriate gun for children to learn to shoot with? Given everything going on with gun violence in our country today.

    This is insane. The radicalization of political beliefs continues to cross over into things like guns. Your politics are no longer your opinions, they're who you are. And you nuts aren't going to change who you are. 

    A child can't know that gay people exist, but they can get a fucking JR 15. Sounds like grooming to me. 

    Not even sure that this is the typical right wing grifter (the easiest way to make money on morons). This is literally just gun nuts being insane. 

    You could have been more creative with the J for Jesus, but liberals having no sense of humor prohibits that.

    If I was one of you people I would have said that JR stood for Junior Republican!  ...or Jesus Rules!

    Bet you like those huh? lol

    The J for Jesus is ironic because conservatives are often Christian and yet they go against Jesus' teachings at almost every turn.

    But don't worry, they'll find some obscure passage to explain why Jesus actually wanted everyone to have a gun and open carry, or why you should hate those that are different than you, or why you shouldn't help the poor, or why you should close your borders, etc etc 

    It's an additional level of irony. 

  • Again, gun culture is becoming politicized and therefore radicalized. 

    Show this JR 15 and accompanying advertising to any other developed nation and they'll tell you that's why we have a gun problem. 

    The NRA and others have been so successful on turning this hobby into the core being of who individuals are that instead of doing literally anything to help prevent gun violence we've increased the spread of guns. Amazing. Awful. Sad.

    I don't think a skull decal determines whether or not a gun is appropriate for a child to learn with. 

    Are you upset because the gun looks like an AR-15? Do you realize that the round that it fires is a .22LR? Which is an appropriate caliber to teach to a child. If the gun looked like the pic below, would that be more acceptable to you?

    You're clearly not interested in guns as a hobby. But your obsession with them is out of proportion to 1 - the danger they pose to the country/society and 2 - your understanding of them.

    Maybe we can enlist some drag queens to teach gun safety to kids?

    Bonus question - why is the rise of gun ownership awful?

    so, woodpecker - do you want trans to not be allowed to own a gun?

    wouldn't that save lives, according to your warped "feelings" ?

    don't you want to DO SOMETHING???

    no, you don't.

    You shouldn't be surprises. Guns are everything to the nut jobs.

    I do, loved them.. the cigarettes were pure sugar and the cigars were chewing gum (pure sugar) but I don't smoke..

  • I think AR-15's for children is a great idea. Now that they are arming teachers, maybe they will let the kids take their JR-15's to school as well. What could go wrong?

    Yes, that we're making and marketing this for children. Marketing this as a JR-15, playing off of an AR 15, just seems dystopian. It's sad that our country has gotten to a point with guns that this is seen as a normal thing to do. 

    Unless children are now on the front lines in conservative Americas never ending war with wild boars.
