WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and fellow Democrats are demanding that the Federal Trade Commission clamp down on a gun manufacturer for marketing a mini assault-style rifle to children.
Illinois-based Wee 1 Tactical is selling a small “JR-15″ that can shoot up to 10 rounds, modeled on the infamous AR-15 often used in mass shootings.
The gunmaker, which has a logo that features small human skulls sucking on pacifiers says its weapons’ “small size, lightweight rugged polymer construction and ergonomics are geared towards smaller enthusiasts.”
