Dear Top Toy Manufacturers - Mattel and Fisher-Price, Hasbro, Lego, Tiger Electronics, X-Box –A Company of Microsoft, Playmobil, Lewis Galoob Toys and Playmates:
Please stop the manufacture and sale of toy firearms and games of violence and combat. Stop including guns in otherwise benign toys. Stop encouraging and enabling children and teens to kill as a part of play. Pretending to hunt down people for slaughter is intolerable. Help parents convey the message that firearms are dangerous and killing is wrong.
You have the opportunity to promote a safer world for all of us. Please make the choice to do so.

The focus of this campaign remains squarely on the impact that simulated violence has on the development of our children. I have been carefully reviewing the concerns shared by those who have signed this petition. Your perspectives serve as a vital reminder of the urgency behind our request for industry change.

STOP THE VIOLENCE. Kids are watching this stuff and it isnt okay.
Enough with the guns already. My grandson plays these shooter games and it really changes his mood. Kids should be outside playing tag not sitting in front of a screen pretending to kill people.

About time someone said something. Toys shouldn't be teaching kids how to be violent. Way too many realistic looking things out there now.
