Gun safety groups and California’s governor have sharply criticized an Illinois gun manufacturer for unveiling a rifle designed specifically for children, reports say.
The JR-15, or Junior 15, is designed to be “smaller, safer, lighter” than a regular AR-15, gunmaker WEE1 Tactical said in a November press release announcing the gun’s launch.
The child-oriented weapon is roughly 20% smaller than a full-sized AR-15, but the manufacturer claims it “operates just like Mom and Dad’s gun,” according to the press release.
The WEE1 Tactical press release notes: “We believe that this introduction early on will produce a deep respect for firearms that continue and last for a lifetime of safety.”

Shotguns come in “youth” sizes. My wife has a 20 gauge in that size.
