Guns for Tots

April 30: 2-year-old Caroline Sparks killed by her 5-year-old brother with his Cricket My First Rifle marketed to kids, Cumberland County, Ky.

This particular incident gives the whole game away. Nothing but evil is behind marketing guns to five year olds. These guys belong in the same circle of Dante's inferno as the guys who came up with Joe Camel.

Re: Guns for Tots

I don't think anybody has to "market" guns to five-year-olds. There is plenty of demand.

Apparently there is some impetus (like wanting to make even more money) to market guns to kids because they do exactly that. Despite not "having to" gun manufacturers do so anyway.

Here’s How the Rifle That Just Killed a 2-Year-Old Girl Is Marketed for Kids – Mother Jones

quote:
The Pennsylvania-based maker of Crickett rifles, Keystone Sporting Arms, markets its guns with the slogan "My First Rifle." They are available with different barrel and stock designs, including some made in hot pink to appeal to young girls

If the revolution comes, these guys ought to be first up against the wall.

(P.S. Are you another Douglas Adams fan?)

I am, but my freshman chemistry teacher used to use that expression **** years before it turned up in the 'Guide'.
