In the United States, an American company markets small and light weapons, to teach children sport shooting. And that is controversial.
The Wee1Tactical company markets small and light weapons, to teach children sport shooting. And you have to believe that it pleases when you look at the comments under the publications: “definitely need to get the kids these” (I absolutely have to buy some for the children).
For Wee1Tactical, the rifle is “the first of many weapons that will help adults introduce children to the sport of shooting safely”, and that they will be able to buy their child a rifle “like mom and dad’s gun. “. The JR-15 (for “Junior”), 80 cm, less than a kilo, was marketed in mid-January for 389 dollars. However, the adult model, the AR-15, is the weapon most used for mass killings that have taken place in the United States, particularly in schools. It is the symbol of the debates about firearms in the country.
“The arms lobby is doing everything to continue to amass profits”
The AR-15 was notably used in the Las Vegas shootings in 2017, the deadliest in recent history in the country with 58 dead, or Parkland High School in Florida (17 dead) in 2018.
The Newtown Action Alliance, a pro-gun control group, condemned the gun lobby and gun manufacturers for “doing everything to keep making profits”.
Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the organization Violence Policy Center, which fights gun violence, the methods of American gun manufacturers to attract young people also denounces in a report guns painted with bright colors – pink, red, orange or purple metallic – popular with young audiences, and lighter to handle.
