    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.

      Yeah, I’m sure these toy guns are the real reasons shooting sprees are routine in the US
