The Campaign Against Toy Guns
In the wake of the Newtown tragedy, more attention is being paid to toy guns, an issue that gained prominence beginning in 1987.
Santa Monica activist Jerry Rubin says a personalized merit award will be sent to children who write to him about why they don’t like playing with toy guns.
Rubin says his anti-toy gun project used to reward children who sent in their toy guns with teddy bears in exchange, but stopped after he ran out of the 5,000 donated stuffed animals.
