WASHINGTON (AP) — Gun makers have taken in more than $1 billion from selling AR-15-style guns over the past decade, at times marketing them as a way for young men to prove their masculinity, even as the number of mass shootings increases, according to a House investigation unveiled Wednesday.
The weapons have been used in massacres that have horrified the nation, including one that left 10 people dead at a grocery store in Buffalo and another where 19 children and two teachers were shot to death in Uvalde, Texas.
The Committee on Oversight and Reform said some ads mimic popular first-person shooter video games or tout the weapons’ military pedigree while others claim the guns will put buyers “at the top of the testosterone food chain.”
Those sales tactics are “deeply disturbing, exploitative and reckless,” said Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York. “In short, the gun industry is profiting off the blood of innocent Americans.”

He said “chainsaw bayonet” XD XD
The dig at Baldwin was a nice touch.
AR-10s bb!
What would she and the rest of the libtards know about ‘manhood’?
Even better make your own. I don’t know if we’ll be able to buy 80% lowers thanks to the chomo in chief and the criminals at the ATF so you better hurry and order a bunch now before Aug 1
It’s not our guns,
It’s your sons.
I remember my first AR. I was reading the instruction manual, and after about the fifth “Do Not...“ I was like “What kind of sissy gun is this? An AK will take that kind of abuse all day. “
A sign of manhood? It’s one of the easier-shooting rifles around in terms of recoil.
Now, a 300 Winchester Mag is more of a “rugged dude” kind of gun.
Or a 50 BMG.
Press in a few roll pins, put in some springs, and hope they don’t sproing across the room...easy peasy. Now, building an AK....that’s a different kettle of fish.
