I am prepared to watch it with my critical thinking activated.
After all it seems to be about a 9 year old getting an freaking entry level gun for Christmas.
We will take it with the appropriate grains of salt anyway, but thanks for the additional warning…
To be fair, it’s a BB gun, which are tiny metal pellets that, while possibly painful, usually aren’t super lethal and are not a useful instrument in a “good ol’ traditional” American mass shooting. They’re more often used on tin cans than flesh. A few sociopathic kids might use them to torture birds, though.
Maybe they contribute to our dangerous gun culture by getting kids involved early, but getting an older kid a BB gun isn’t as weird or comically American as it sounds in and of itself.
