Right now, there are practically no federal restrictions on advertising deadly firearms to minors. So what does the gun lobby do? Advertise to minors. They prey on young people with products like the “JR-15,” a smaller version of a weapon more appropriate for a warzone than in the hands of children. It's downright immoral, and it's dangerous. Guns are the leading cause of death for children and young people and it's because of the firearm industry's free for all. It's time to put an end to it.
Sign our petition to demand that congress pass the Protecting Kids from Gun Marketing Act, which would direct the Federal Trade Commission to create rules to prohibit the marketing of firearms to minors.
