Media Malign Firearm Manufacturer For Selling Gun That Encourages Adults To Teach Kids Safe Shooting

Democrats and corporate media teamed up this week against a gun manufacturer to make fun of it for selling a gun to teach adults how to safely shoot and handle a firearm.

There’s nothing inherently illegal about gun manufacturer WEE1 Tactical’s all-black JR-15, a 2.5 lb .22 long rifle designed to function “like a modern sporting rifle.” In fact, the JR-15 is one of the best introductory firearms available once it goes on sale later in the year.

Seven Democrat senators remain, however. Renew Their demands that WEE1 be punished by the Federal Trade Commission for marketing gun manufacturers are a direct threat to their rights. “assault rifles” “deadly weapons of war” For young children.

Corporate media are all too happy to promote the anti-gun narrative. Amplified the senators’ Besorgnization With inaccurate Negative headlines.

It does not share parts with ARs, but uses.22LR as a recreational round that produces low recoil and low noise. This allows for safer shooting and greater accuracy. Schaefer claimed it instead “physically operates similar to the AR-15” So that children who are interested in shooting sports may familiarize themselves with modern sporting rifles as well as the.22 LR caliber, which is rapidly increasing in popularity.
