Grrr. I had a great pic to your post, but cant seem to get it to work. :(
Weird, now its working....lol
Rifles, with the long reach to the trigger are inappropriate for young children.
Young children are better placed on crew served weapons like mortars or artillery.
Why doesn’t anything like this happen to me?
I discovered Cracker Jacks in the mid-1950’s and loved them.
Okay, this story is officially bullshit. That ‘rifle’ did NOT come out of that box. And what’s with the pistol ammo and pistol magazine on the table? Were they in the box, too?
I’m just guessing, but we have a huge retired military population, being just a couple of miles from Eglin AFB main gate, and Pensacola NAS 40 miles west and Hurlburt field right here.
I’m just gonna guess that the ‘owner’ of the rifle died, and had hidden his weapon in the baby box, for whatever reason. The box was sealed with clear shipping tape, and no one bothered to look inside, believing the contents were what was shown on the box, a baby bouncer.
The relatives came to dispose of the possessions and just donated them all to Goodwill, not bothering to look inside the box....................
I am afraid its like a joke where the punch line has been botched now...
The box is bigger than what is shown in that photo. Local TV showed the weapons fit in the box easily...................
Perhaps someone was attempting to hide the AR? Break it down into the upper and lower, put in the box and shrink wrap???
A plausible take.
We see it all the time, relatives dumping their uncle’s or grandfathers stuff at Goodwills and Salvation Army. They do pick up as well if it’s a big haul...........................
I keep looking for vintage guitar amplifiers at goodwil and savers. So far, no luck. Let alone an AR style rifle.
Bet you will at least check for unusually heavy baby products there from now on..
It’s a perspective issue. The rifle is on a raised platform/table/bed/whatever , and is much closer to the viewer than the box. The box is some distance below it, as you can see from the plastic wrap the view of which is partially cut off by the raised platform.
So the box, being much more distant from the viewer on the floor, looks too small relative to the nearby rifle.
If both were the same distance from the viewer the box would look big enough.

Now we need background checks for baby bouncers. Just in case.
If it were me you’d not be reading this story. I’d keep my mouth shut and enjoy my prize!
Not just because of concerns about cleanliness but because so many products for infants have been recalled because of real safety issues.
