Recently, I viewed an ad on television promoting a plastic “automatic shooter” that fired 9 mm Nerf bullets. The ad showed adults shooting each other in a backyard setting. I believe that this type of toy provides an unacceptable opportunity for people to “practice” killing other people.

For those who are drugged, demented or drunk, it is a short step to replacing the Nerf bullets and shooter with real bullets in a real gun.

Please contact the store manager wherever you find these “death toys” and ask them to be responsible and pull these from their shelves.
