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.

calfoxwc Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 well, I had a .22 I was allowed to carry with me on my many hours exploring our 147 acre farm. Fifth grade. In the sixth grade, I got my first 12 gauge shotgun for Christmas, still cherish it. What you dishonestly omit from your hostile crap - is that the jr-15 is just a .22. It looks like an AR-15? I personally object to that, but one company pushing the limits of common sense doesn't give you legit basis to do your typical woodpecker crap - throwing into the forum and slurring a few hundred million? gun owners who probably think it was a bad idea on that decision. Where are the FACTS? oh yeah, you think your fake arrogant feelings are facts. thay are not. Personally, given the fake hostility of the times, I don't aporove on the jr-15 even if it was only a toy. so take your fake in-other-peoples-faces offense up your beak. again, btw, you are misusing the word "grooming", apparently redefining it to coincide with your feelings. neurotic much? overcompensate much?

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 So you are upset because the cartoon skulls were male and female gendered? I can see how that would piss you off. Is it too much of a bad pun to point out the fact that you have been triggered?

Kids have been shooting guns since guns were invented you knucklehead. lol Grooming to become what? And when you take into account the latest call by Trannies to arm themselves, I'd be more concerned about those sissy ass freaks possessing guns than kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vambo Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Junior Shooting Sports https://www.legion.org/shooting The American Legion Junior Shooting Sports Program is a gun safety education and marksmanship program that encompasses the basic elements of safety, education, enjoyment and competition. Who Can Participate? In shooting sports, you don’t have to sit on the sidelines: Anyone under 18 (or high school seniors no older than 20) can participate. Physical ability and size are no match for mental toughness and discipline in this co-ed skill sport. Why Shooting Sports? After demonstrating knowledge of safety techniques, you will join the centuries of Americans who have mastered marksmanship for survival and sport. But the appeal doesn’t stop at our nation’s borders — the best marksmen from around the globe vie for Olympic gold. In fact, 2002 American Legion Three-Position National Champion Jamie Corkish won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics. As you become a better marksman, you’ll gain responsibility, confidence and self-reliance. To hit your mark, you will also have to improve your ability to concentrate. Plus, you’ll develop a skill you can enjoy and hone throughout your life. What Will We Do? You’ll practice and study with your Legion affiliated club, but get to compete as an individual. Beginner: Safety First All participants start with rifle safety and fundamentals. The Legion prides itself on safety. There has never been a rifle-related injury in Junior Shooting Sports Program history. You’ll learn the right way to handle, load, aim and fire a rifle. Intermediate: Build Skills Once you have mastered the basics, you can take air rifle courses from the National Rifle Association or the Civilian Marksmanship Program through your club. These will help you develop your skills, set personal goals and work to achieve established performance standards. Advanced: Compete With Others Your club may hold competitions among its own members, or it may host or attend regional matches. The two basic kinds of competitions are postal and shoulder-to-shoulder. In a postal match, you and fellow participants shoot at targets and then mail them off to be scored. Shoulder-to-shoulder matches are in-person and scored in real-time. The American Legion Junior Three-Position Air Rifle Tournament begins with postal matches. The best 30 junior marksmen from across the country earn an expense paid opportunity to contend for the National Championship in Colorado Springs, Colo. In the same facility where Olympians train, those junior marksmen will compete in a shoulder-to-shoulder match for the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MLD Woody Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given everything going on with gun violence in our country today. 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.

Neo Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
