Illinois gun manufacturer WEE1 Tactical launched a scaled-down version of the infamous AR-15 assault rifle so they could capture the children’s gun market. Dubbed the ‘JR-15’, the children’s gun operates just like the normal version but includes more kid-friendly ergonomic features. Ana Kasparian and Wosny Lambre discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

“Gun control advocates on Wednesday sharply condemned an Illinois-based company for recently unveiling the JR-15, a long rifle inspired by the AR-15 but marketed for children.

Although it is under 2.5 pounds and 20% smaller than the standard version, the JR-15 “operates just like Mom and Dad’s gun,” WEE1 Tactical said in a statement. The weapon “functions like a modern sporting rifle,” but its “lightweight and rugged polymer construction and ergonomics are geared towards children.”

WEE1 Tactical launched the JR-15 earlier this month at an annual trade show sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which is based in Newtown, Connecticut—where a gunman with an AR-15 murdered 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.”

  1. You leftists keep bringing up school shootings as the excuse to ban rifles, then turn around and make it seem like handguns are reasonable to own.

    Annually there are far less murders with rifles (typically below 500) compared to murders committed with handguns (usually 7,000+).

    According to your own logic you should be demanding that handguns are banned just as much as rifles, if not more so. Why don't you though? These active shooter situations that happen in schools usually are in more affluent areas, and include white victims often times. That 7,000+ with handguns usually happens in inner city ghettos amongst gangs, and usually includes "POC." Notice how you guys never bring up the latter? Why's that?

    When little Spencer or Chelsea gets shot in their classroom or at the mall, you guys cry bloody murder. When little Tyrone or Sheenika gets hit as a bystander during a drive by……….. crickets.

    The irony is you guys are the ones constantly screaming about racism. Projection much?

  2. I love tyt but you really have to educate yourselves on guns, this is kinda embarrassing.
    It’s not okay, I just think you should actually debate with someone who’s pro ‘xyz’ otherwise it’s just biased

  3. Cenk has also actually been alive since the beginning of human existence, he was a major part of ancient Egypt and even killed pharaoh as the satanist order needed Moses to prevail, although my former master Lucifers order needed Cenk to stay low-key throughout periods of time so that he would not have been easily spotted throughout our planets history, the major time period the order had him impact was ancient Rome for he was one of the most mighty gladiators in ancient Romes history, the order needed him to to rise through the ranks of the Roman empire to help it crumble so they could set up for the next stages of history, the order had Cenk hide for thousands of years so he couldn't of been spotted throughout the timeline until they had him slowly rise to power in the US political scene, he purposely chose the young Turks name which was named after a massacre to stir up controversy for the satanist order in the Democrat political scene to purposefully make the Democrats look bad, he chose Ana Kasparian specifically as she was the one daughter of Jack the ripper who he had hide throughout history as the order needed her to carefully join his channel the young Turks so that she could help Cenk in making the Democratic party look bad by giving misleading and often false information, but she and Cenk are not immortal, Cenk every thousand years has to take blood baths so that he can consume enough power to stay alive and Ana Kasparian similarly had to as well, but as a vampire she needed the blood often as she is not of the same Egyptian dynasty as Cenk is, now Cenk and Ana Kasparian are doing the orders work by turning the Democratic party into SOCIALIST puppets to do as they are told and to do it solely for the sake of the country, they are preparing to purposefully make the Democratic party look horrible so that Biden will lose the next election so that the anti Christ can reveal herself as the first woman's US president in our countries history, yes I said a woman as my former master Lucifer has already taken over the church long ago so that he can falsely mislead the Christian masses into thinking it will be a man and that they will be in Israel, the order needs to take over the trade center of the world first but that will be started by puppet Biden who is also a vampire who has been alive half as long as Cenk has so he can start WW2 with Russia to prepare for the orders overtaking of the world, Putin is also part of the order and is going to purposefully lose and sacrifice himself so that the anti Christ can overtake Russia and then turn the entire world into a utopia to prepare for the 7 years of peace, please get right with yawee as it will be too late for you and the rest of the world if you are not raptured in 2023

  4. This is a warning for all who will heed it and coming from a former satanist, these two fools are the puppets of my former master Lucifer, they have sold their souls long ago to him, Cenk has been part of my former masters order for decades, he is a cannibal who feasts on the blood of his enemies and consumes their flesh and bathes in their blood, Ana Kasparian is a vampire who is the head of her order appointed by my former master, they are trying to force the vaccine on you fools so you take the mark of the beast, do not be fooled by their trickery and antics, they are children of Satan, Ana Kasparian feasts on the blood of her enemies, turning them into vampires as well hense why she hasn't aged, you have been warned so get well with yawee and do not trust these two fools

  5. Liberal tears are delicious. And the best part? All of this negative press will indeed INCREASE sales. That's what always happens and you people are too stupid to see that. The AR15 market is where it is today because of you idiots! And then you buy the lie that the NRA "sells fear."

    Lol Keep doing what you're doing! The American gun manufacturers thank you!

  6. Capitalism at its best. People will do Anything to make a living and get rich. Especially with the conditions Americans live in now. Kill the American dream get ready for desperate people doing Anything, even deplorable things to get their needs met. Our screwed up values also create this, when we value highest the rich and celebrities. Teenagers these days just want to be famous rich stars so they care nothing about stepping on children’s dead bodies to get their dreams. A lot of youth find it unattainable and suicide. Love and compassion is the answer always.

  7. The two things you missed were that this is a 22lr and that this has a special safety specifically meant to be used by a supervising adult. 22lr rifles have existed for kids for ages. I fired one as a boy scout. The existence of this rifle (or heck, the AR15) isn't the problem as much as the laws we have just make it way too easy to legally get a gun. I mean a 17 year old can just be given a rifle in some states and be allowed to "defend a store" with no adult supervision…

  8. I don't understand why this channel goes out of its way to mock guns, gun owners and gun culture. There is nothing wrong with a child learning how to shoot a gun as long as they adhere to gun safety. I have several relatives and family friends that hunt for sport. It's a way of life. It's not like its a bunch of idiots screaming into the air and shooting wildly. Why does it matter if a kid learns how to shoot a gun?

  9. Americans who are against the gun culture of America can change it. Vote in lawmakers who promise to vote for tighter gun laws. It's in the voters hands. But how many don't even bother going to vote..

  10. TYT forgot to mention some features that this firearm has. First, it is chambered in .22LR. This is a much smaller, less powerful round than what ARs are normally chambered in (.223 rem). Although I will mention that .22LR are still deadly. Second, the company made the safety even safer by making it so that it is difficult for children to switch off. Third, this gun is shipped with a ONE round magazine. This is so that children can learn how to load and operate a rifle without the danger of them being able to shoot multiple rounds. You can purchase 5 and 10 round magazines so that when you child is more competent you can teach them how to use those.
    So again, TYT fails to do their research and fails to report on all the relevant information and only feeds the emotion driven left.
