"WASHINGTON — The company that manufactures the gun an 18-year-old used to kill 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School markets its weapons to teenagers with advertising material featuring rapper Post Malone, the video game “Call of Duty” and the Netflix hit “Squid Game,” an advocacy group alleges in a federal complaint filed Friday.

The complaint, filed by the legal arm of Everytown for Gun Safety, says Daniel Defense is violating Federal Trade Commission rules by marketing assault weapons with violent and militaristic imagery that misleads consumers — especially young men — to believe they can use the weapons for combat-like missions.

“Daniel Defense preys on at-risk young men to sell an aggressive, hyper-masculine, and militaristic fantasy and, by extension, the very real weapons that make a perverted version of that fantasy possible,” the complaint says."

" . . . that misleads consumers — especially young men — to believe they can use the weapons for combat-like missions."

I thought it was the government that said they were "weapons of war"?

You know . . . the kind of weapon that would be used on a "combat-like mission".

Most likely Daniel Defense was just quoting the politicians.

These guys are an extension of the DNC and weaponized deep state.
