Yes. What is it going to be purple with pink polka dots.
Lots of ways improve gun safety with kids. This isn't it.

A small step up from the Roy Rogers cap guns I played with as a kid. Maybe I'll draw the line at ones that use live ammo. I can think of three kids in my small rural town that were killed playing with their dads' guns during the 50s and 60s.
The US gun culture seems to be a runaway train. I'd like to see the gun crowd take a step back for once instead of pushing it forward. Just my opinion.
Correction: Two of the three kids were killed playing with guns at friends' homes, not with their dads' guns.

It's a compact ar-15 wtf is the problem? Are youth model bolt guns, pump, single shot etc... a bad idea? If I hadn't already bought all 3 boys there own AR. I'd be looking at these.
Wood stock semi-auto ruger 10/22 good
Vertical grip, black semi auto .22- bad

The rollmark is tacky at best, and the lettering is not very crisp.

I'll agree the crossbones with the pacifier I'd do without but not the concept of a compact ar platform for young shooters.
That sure is cheesy, ha!
These days this kind of marketing will probably help them move more units than if they had marketed it just as an “AR platform for young shooters.”

Yah no doubt the marketing is dumb at best.

Nice rifle, terrible marketing concept if the intention is to normalize black guns as tools, not “assault rifles.”

Get rid of the cartoons, call it a "compact" rifle, and chamber it in 5.56.

Those pacifiers are ridiculous and offensive. If I want wanted to start my kids off right on the path to being bad asses I would at least prefer the graphic to have a kid holding a severed head (zombie of course to keep it cute)

I only let them shoot HE and incindiary rounds for maximum visual stimulation. Keeps their short little attention span’s engaged for a longer time.

I’m a no on the paint jobs, just because I’m sure my three year old would immediately point out that binkies are for babies.
I don’t believe guns for smaller shooters are a bad thing, no matter their color, shape, or grip style. It’s the marketing that makes these wee ones seem like a parody of the industry.
