[ATTW-L] ethics in the gun industry

[Dragga, Sam]

Jump start your class discussion of ethics in technical communication in the gun industry with a visit to the website of a new corporation selling guns for children, Wee 1 Tactical (www.wee1tactical.com<http://www.wee1tactical.com>).

Note the information about the JR-15, a lighter version of the AR-15 (automatic rifle) designed especially for “young shooters” but claiming to be safe.

Note also the corporate logo: two skulls, each sucking on a pacifier. The “boy” skull has a yellow spike of hair and a green pacifier, while the “girl” skull has yellow pigtails and a pink pacifier.

I imagine a lively conversation.
