The Love Gun

I wanted to spread a message of peace, love and caring. I wanted to tell the world we should never raise a fist against our fellow man and that harming others physically, judging them unfairly or damaging their possessions and property are horrendous crimes.
I decided to use a quote from the bible to do this. I wrote ‘let he who is without sin cast the first stone’ on some beautiful, smooth, white stones. I had collected these stones one at a time from a beach, every time I received a smile or kind word from a stranger.
I then had to come up with the fastest and most democratic way to get this message out to as many people as possible, as it was probably the most urgent message mankind needs to hear. Or at least in the top five. I built a cannon to spread the message of love. I called it The Love Gun and fired the stones into the streets of London.

Unfortunately there were some initial problems with misjudged trajectories. Too high and the paper weights gained too much height and became dangerous if they landed on anyone, too low and they shot into the walls and windows of many nearby buildings and cars. I decided this was the lesser of two evils and so went for the low trajectory.
