Two young social media stars, dubbed the Survival Sisters, are making waves—and raising eyebrows—with their controversial content focused on firearms and survival tactics aimed at children. Their videos, which showcase everything from tactical drills to firearm handling, have ignited a heated debate about the role of influencers in normalising gun culture among minors.
Who Are the Survival Sisters?
The sisters, whose real names remain undisclosed, have amassed a significant following under their online persona, Tacticool GF. Their content blends survivalist training with a youthful, almost playful tone, featuring kids as young as 10 handling firearms under supervision. Supporters argue they teach responsibility and preparedness, while critics accuse them of glamorising weapons.
The Backlash and Defence
Child safety advocates and gun control groups have condemned the sisters' content, calling it irresponsible and potentially dangerous. "Teaching kids to use guns under the guise of 'survival skills' is reckless," said one campaigner. However, the sisters' followers counter that their lessons emphasise safety and discipline, with strict protocols in place during training.
The Broader Debate
The controversy taps into a larger discussion about gun culture in the US, where firearm-related incidents are a leading cause of death among children. While some parents applaud the sisters for demystifying guns and promoting safety, others fear their approach could desensitise young audiences to the risks of firearms.
As the debate rages on, the Survival Sisters show no signs of slowing down—leaving many to wonder where the line should be drawn between education and entertainment when it comes to kids and guns.
