A striking new series of PSAs produced by the organization Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America seeks to illustrate what the organization's founder calls "the absurdity of our country's current lax laws and weak regulation of guns."

The first ad, released today, contrasts Trina Schart Hyman's illustrated version of Little Red Riding Hood with an assault weapon, asking viewers to guess which has been banned in the name of children's safety. Two school districts in California, Culver City and Empire, banned that version of Little Red Riding Hood in 1990 because its protagonist brings her grandmother a bottle of wine.

The ads, part of a campaign called "Choose One," were designed by GREY advertising agency.

In a press release, the organization (formerly One Million Moms for Gun Control) also announced that founder Shannon Watts would join Vice President Joe Biden on a Monday afternoon conference call about gun safety that is open to the American public. All week long, a series of "Stroller Jam" demonstrations are set to take place at senators' offices across the country, including one in front of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday that will be followed by planned meetings in the Senate.

Over email, Watts told HuffPost Parents: "We wanted our ads to reflect the absurdity of our country's current lax laws and weak regulation of guns. This is not the time to be pragmatic -- after the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, it's time to sound the alarm."

In a HuffPost blog earlier this year, Watts wrote:

The morning after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I founded One Million Moms for Gun Control. ... Much like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) was started to address the deadly dangers of driving while intoxicated through public education programs and lobbying for stricter state and federal regulations, One Million Moms for Gun Control was born to fight for common sense gun control regulations.
