To say we are outraged would be an understatement, {NAME}. [We must continue our work to defeat the gun lobby and denounce their insidious marketing tactics towards children. Will you chip in $3 today to help us fight back against their dangerous schemes to corrupt children?]( [DONATE]( The Wall Street Journal obtained a memo from Remington’s parent company that reads: “With increasing urbanization and access to shooting/hunting areas in decline, a primary means for young potential shooters to come into contact with firearms and ammunition is through virtual gaming scenarios.” Marketing assault weapons in video games intended for young audiences is irresponsible and dangerous, much like tobacco companies marketing flavored e-cigarettes to young people. Developing minds can be easily influenced. Gun manufacturers owe it to the American people to market their products responsibly.
