STOP THE VIOLENCE

In keeping with the effort to stop the violence in our communities,
Nine-o-Six Multimedia is currently asking parents of small children to
get rid of their toy guns.

Because toy guns kill millions of toys every year

We have created a TOY GUN DROP BASKET and want kids to drop their toy
guns in our basket. In exchange we will give them a FREE NON-VIOLENT
TOY.

Whatever it is, I hope you give me two of them. If you truly want to see violence, put a single Barbie doll between my two girls.

We plan to travel to different events and create a mindset of
non-violence by promoting this cause. It is our hope that parents
educate their children about the dangers of gun play and that guns are
weapons of destruction.

Or, if you're a wheelchair bound invalid in a rough neighborhood, an elderly woman walking down the street, one man against many, or a woman of slight build, it's an equalizer to the thugs who wish you harm.

And heaven forbid you educate your children about guns. With no exposure and no education, they are more likely to handle a firearm and hurt themselves than rather know to leave it alone and go get an adult (who, if not properly trained could hurt themselves as well).

In addition, when you purchase any Nine-o-Six
Multimedia product, a portion of those proceeds will be donated to an
organization supporting the efforts of non-violence.

I would assume Nine-O-Six considers themselves such an organization.

This effort needs support. We are asking for TOY donations to help
fill our TOY CHEST. Anyone wishing to donate TOYS to this effort can
contact:{ed. - no free ad for you!}

We are asking that donated TOYS are in good condition and are not
weapons or toys of violence.

Does this mean baseball bats?

Do your part. Help stop the violence destroying our community.

By turning in toys? Why not help by pressuring politicians to keep violent criminals locked up rather than blaming harmless toys? Kim's essay comes to mind here.

And I bet it would cause this group to lose sleep if they knew that I don't plan on buying my girls toy guns, but rather real ones so they learn proper use and safety.
