Customers at a new “gun store” on the Lower East Side of New York
City were shocked when they saw what the proprietors were selling. While
they were treated to an impressive array of handguns and assault
weapons, what they learned changed their views forever.
When customers inspected their potential weapons purchases, the clerk
helpfully told them all about the firearm — including people that type
of weapon has killed. The store, of course, was a front for an
educational social experiment created by States United To Prevent Gun Violence.
“This revolver, it’s the easiest gun we have to use. It’s our most
popular one. It’s a 22-caliber, six-inch revolver,” the clerk tells one
couple. “It’s also a gun that a five-year-old found in his parents’
bedroom, went down and shot his nine-month-old baby brother with it.”
“Collectors love this one,” the clerk tells another man. “Adam
Lanza’s mom had one in her collection, too — Until he took this and
several other guns and killed her, then went down to Sandy Hook, [and]
killed six teachers and twenty innocent children. Twenty little kids —
gone.
While they may have wanted to buy a gun, “customers” changed their
minds after hearing firsthand the very real dangers presented by
firearms. “It is one of our rights,” one woman said, “but my opinion has
definitely changed. I don’t feel safe with a gun.”
