If you’re looking at it morally, I think I understand your confusion.
This isn’t so much a comment on the moral horror(that does fundamentally exist) as it is utter shock at the reckless marketing of pretty toy guns that children will like in a country with such a horrifying real problem of children and adults shooting each other.
All this gun does is make you comfortable pulling a trigger.
It’s entirely absurd to market cute toy guns as anxiety relievers to the children living in the worst gun violence circumstances in the world, where they are literally a constant risk of being shot in a supermarket or library or school.
It’s the height of practical insanity and cultural irresponsibility that these are being sold.
Also how is this being exclusively associated with the US?
I mean I get it, we like guns and this is the US version of Amazon, but it’s not like we have these toys in every household. And it’s not like other countries don’t have guns present in their culture (video games, movies, etc.).
They are most likely produced in China and are definitely going to be uncommon.
It’s like making a post “the US has 80-gallon drums of lube no joke”. It just feels like rage bait with an anti-US agenda
Who’d’a thunk a bunch of angry (self-styled-)commie trolls who got punted off Reddit and decided to make their own, with Marxist blackjack and Marxister hookers, would eventually deteriorate into this shit.
What a weird overtone of moral outrage this has, considering your comments. But admittedly, the user reviews are fucking gold as a non-American.

Yeah, I’m sure these toy guns are the real reasons shooting sprees are routine in the US
Eh, doubt it.
Interesting take, though, I’m sure they don’t help.

“Rage bait with an anti-US agenda” describes a lot of shit on Lemmy.
