Pawtucket bash takes aim at gun violence

PAWTUCKET -- The Attorney General's Office is hosting the 8th annual Toy Gun Bash tomorrow afternoon at Payne Park on West Avenue.

The yearly event aims to discourage gun violence by allowing children to destroy their toy guns in a machine dubbed the "Bash-O-Matic" that "crushes, smushes, smashes, and otherwise bashes toy guns like nobody's business," according to an announcement today by the attorney general's office.

In addition to "gun bashing," there will be free food, games, raffles, and a 3-point basketball shooting contest featuring Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch.
