I doubt he&#8217;d be proud of the sensationalist tabloid content they make. Since 1976, they&#8217;ve been using ridiculous headlines to draw readers&#8217; eyes &#8212; they invented clickbait before you could click. This time, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/11\/25\/a-nauseating-christmas-gun-ad-killed-my-holiday-spirit\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-york-post-anti-gun-clickbait\" title=\"New York Post Anti-Gun Clickbait Aims To Rile Readers -- It Worked\" target=\"_blank\">the content<\/a> is as ridiculous as the headline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>A Nauseating Christmas Gun Ad Killed My Holiday Spirit<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>John Crudele posted an editorial in the business section on Monday reacting to an email he got from Henry Repeating Arms advertising their AR-7 rifle for the holidays, &#8220;Nothing says &#8216;Merry Christmas&#8217; Like An AR-7.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You and I know that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.henryusa.com\/rifles\/u-s-survival-ar-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-york-post-anti-gun-clickbait\" title=\"New York Post Anti-Gun Clickbait Aims To Rile Readers -- It Worked\">AR-7 is Henry&#8217;s .22 LR survival rifle<\/a>. It breaks down and all the components fit inside the water-tight stock. Like the AR-15, it was designed by Eugene Stoner at ArmaLite and its predecessors were used by the Air Force as survival rifles for plane crews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AR-7 is a semi-auto .22 rifle and it&#8217;s generally marketed as a highly portable survival gun. The kind of thing you&#8217;d bring on a camping trip or a rafting trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"296\" title=\"New York Post Anti-Gun Clickbait Aims To Rile Readers -- It Worked\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AR-7-NYP-Levi-Sim-1-1024x296.jpg\" alt=\"New York Post Anti-Gun Clickbait Aims To Rile Readers -- It Worked\" class=\"wp-image-119010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AR-7-NYP-Levi-Sim-1-1024x296.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AR-7-NYP-Levi-Sim-1-150x43.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AR-7-NYP-Levi-Sim-1-400x116.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AR-7-NYP-Levi-Sim-1-768x222.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AR-7-NYP-Levi-Sim-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This is the gun Crudele is disgusted by. Basically a  big boy&#8217;s Red Rider BB gun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crudele was raging about it because the AR-7 could be used to &#8220;kill a lot of people&#8221; and doesn&#8217;t belong under the tree for Christmas. He says its compact form and lightweight would make it easy to sneak into schools or movie theaters to &#8220;kill a lot of people.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He never shows a picture of the AR-7. He just shows a wall full of large semi-auto rifles at a gun store &#8212; AKs, ARs, and various other &#8220;black&#8221; guns adorn the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, he had to use that picture because if anyone saw the actual AR-7 they would see how ridiculous his premise is. It&#8217;s basically a big boy&#8217;s Red Rider BB gun. But it could &#8220;kill a lot of people.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypost\/status\/1199169905528123392\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-york-post-anti-gun-clickbait\" title=\"New York Post Anti-Gun Clickbait Aims To Rile Readers -- It Worked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">The post on Twitter <\/a>has more than 1,600 comments, and none that I read on the first several pages were in support of the author&#8217;s opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He wrote, &#8220;There was also the boilerplate comment about how the company hoped &#8216;your loved ones never actually find themselves in a life and death situation&#8217; and would only need the gun for target shooting with friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this line, he&#8217;s implying that the life and death situation Henry was alluding to is some kind of active shooter situation. Of course, Henry means the gun can be handy in a bush plane in case you get stuck in the backcountry longer than expected. Not that it could help you survive the zombie apocalypse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Crudele, it&#8217;s companies like Henry who are creating fuel for the gun industry to burn itself. &#8220;Companies like this give people who don\u2019t like guns a reason to continue their dislike for them.&#8221; On the contrary: it&#8217;s misleading articles like his that plant the idea that people should dislike guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guy received a marketing email from Henry Repeating Arms. That means he signed up for their mailing list. The right answer to this email would have been to hit the &#8220;unsubscribe&#8221; button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, I doubt the New York Post will lose very many of its four-hundred thousand subscribers over Crudele&#8217;s article. Fortunately, that&#8217;s fewer than half the number of subscribers to GunsAmerica. He and his followers are just part of a noisy minority.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are you hoping for under the tree this Christmas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***&nbsp;<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A misleading editorial suggests a marketing email represents all that is wrong in the firearms industry.
