Heckler and Koch Arms Dump
Nottingham Arms Dump | 03.11.2009 01:11 | Anti-militarism
Nottingham Arms Dump has unfolded over the last few months to bring together concerned members of the community and anti-arms trade campaigners from the city to build a 25 foot model replica of a Heckler and Koch machine gun, that will be taken in an artistic procession by the activists to the UK head quarters of the gun manufacturers Heckler and Koch, which is on Easter Park Industrial Estate in the Lenton area of Nottingham.
The aim of the Nottingham Arms Dump is to symbolically “dump” the 25 foot model gun at the doors of Heckler and Koch as a gesture to say “no to the arms trade, no to heckler and koch” and also to highlight other anti-arms trade campaigns such as Shut Down Heckler and Koch and SMASH EDO/ITT.
The group also aim to highlight the role Heckler and Koch play in the international making and selling of small arms such as hand guns, sub-machine guns and rifles.
Heckler and Koch guns have killed 1.5 million people, including children.
The aim is to act together to create a spectacle and show Heckler and Koch that they cannot hope to operate in Nottingham unharassed by our dislike of the horrific nature of their business and the arms trade across the world.
------------------------------------------
The Giant mock-rifle has been built and is ready to march!
Setting off from the Arboretum Park in central Nottingham at 12 noon on Friday the 13th November 2009.
If you can make it, on your own or with family and friends, then please join us in delivering our anti-military message to Heckler and Koch, Easter Park Industrial Estate, Lenton, Nottingham.
Cap guns and plastic guns and home made mock-guns are welcomed and encouraged, because when we “dump” the mock rifle down on the ground outside the Heckler and Koch office gates, any pretend gun will help send the message to the international dealers in death and suffering.
We also encourage creative opposition to the arms trade and other tentacles of capitalism on the day with banners and flags and posters and other methods of spreading the word against these traders in grief and injury.
We welcome those with instruments and other means of entertainment, something to keep peoples spirits up and passionate as we cruise the streets and home in on H and K!!
It will also be great to see people with their own cameras to record the event to show others in their community or around the world via the web.
PLEASE JOIN NOTTINGHAM ARMS DUMP AS WE DELIVER THE GUNS BACK TO THE DOORSTEP OF THOSE THAT SPREAD HURT AND PAIN…
