For you or I, it might not be that shocking, but I really do think kids need to see this kind of stuff...violence is so overly glorified in our society, that it hardly even seems like a big deal now. Using guns should be a big deal.
Good points but does this commercial do that?

The message at a surface level is that stuff looks really cool when you shoot it.

Fart is it not possible that a kid could want to go out and try shooting some other stuff too to see how cool it looks.

I think the ad totally misses the mark (pun intended)
