[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Schumer calls for FTC probe into marketing of ‘JR-15’ (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 1/22/2023 11:28:49 PM EDT

US Sen. Chuck Schumer said an Illinois-based gun manufacturer could be breaking the law for peddling a smaller and lighter version of an AR-15 aimed at an audience of children.

The Senate Majority Leader called Sunday for a federal investigation into WEE1 Tactical’s marketing and advertising of a “JR-15? that includes statements from the company that the weapon is “geared towards smaller enthusiasts.”

The company’s website also shows a small child operating the weapon with an adult, Schumer pointed out.

Schumer’s calls for the Federal Trade Commission to get involved comes after ten people were killed by gunfire in California over the weekend during a mass shooting at a dance club.

“The last thing we need to be doing is shrinking deadly weapons of war and marketing them to young children,” Schumer, a Democrat, said in a statement.

During a press conference, he called the “JR-15” a “disgusting name” and said the FTC has the power to take a “hard look” at the company.

Someone needs to tell this dumb fuck that kids can’t purchase firearms. So it really doesn’t matter who they’re marketed to.

Fuck these people are dipshits.

Make it a Schumer-47. Basing it on a commie gun is more appropriate.

My 6 year old daughter is getting pretty good at remembering the 4 rules.

I'll probably take her to the range this summer and start her on airsoft and move up to a .22 if she's good about staying behind the line, keeping the muzzle downrange, etc.

Her older sister learned when she was 6 or 7.

Teach them that guns aren't scary and can be used safely if you follow the rules. Teach them young so you get ahead of the indoctrination in the schools and media.

I came here to say "in before crew served weapons meme."

Also, Schumer is ableist against little people, they have 2A rights too!

AR is a great platform to teach women and kids to shoot.

Maybe if they sold more of them. The shooter would have been stopped. They should be able to have short barrels with no stamp too.

Schumer is the same idiot who wanted to go after Duracoat for selling orange colored finish for guns. He’s a sensationalist dickwad and he’s also the jerk who said the Constitution is “not a suicide pact” having sworn an oath to abide by it.

The JR-15's are a scaled down AR in .22lr

I think they are great

I bet skulls with binkies don't seem like a great idea after you get reamed by the FTC

Schumer is a piece of shit, regardless

Their rifles are fun af! They didn't have the AK at the range when we were there, but the JR-15 was a hoot to shoot!

They aren't marketing to children like some 8 year old is walking in to a gun store to buy a rifle you beta male moron.

I’ve been wanting to get some smaller rifles to teach my kids on…..I was thinking something like a savage rascal or Henry mini bolt etc…. I didn’t know this little AR existed….now I want one.

I was thinking along the lines of dealing with a federal investigation, possibly hefty legal fees, and whatever findings or fines the FTC makes up. Hopefully they just ignore Chucky's grandstanding

So Chuck is trying to deny smaller guns for smaller people. Sounds like an ADA violation to me. Some midgets should get together and file a class-action lawsuit.
