Since 1993, the sculpture has been the symbol of The Non-Violence Project, a nonprofit organization that promotes social change through violence-prevention education programs.
There are 31 copies of the sculpture around the world, the most famous and visited one - at the UN Headquarters. Allegedly, this one in Malmö along with the New York one are the originals. There are several non-official copies as well, some of them showing a different type of a gun but all of them united by the knotted barrel theme.
