NRAs New First-Person Shooter For Ages 4+ Profits From Assault Weapons Upgrades

he National Rifle Association must have a media mole inside its executive team directing the organization to conjure up the most incendiary policies imaginable. Today, the NRA released a mobile first-person shooter game for Apples iOS, suitable for children as young as 4 years old. Just in case that didnt offend enough people, children can purchase military-grade assault weapons for the price of a pack of gum, if a simple pistol doesnt satisfy their young trigger fingers.
Apple rated the game suitable for children 4+ because the app is entirely devoted to non-human targets, like practice dummies and skeet disks. Additionally, NRA: Practice Range offers a litany of insightful gun safety tips, such as this gem: Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
But, why (why?!?!) would the NRA profiteer from the very assault weapons its attempting to protect by charging children money to purchase them? The meager amount of profit made from allowing children to purchase an AK-47 or MK-11 sniper rifle for $0.99 just cant be worth the public condemnation.
