I can imagine the shitstorm that would come down on that poor lassie's head if she wore that to school.
I strongly recommend she do so. Often.

Holy shit dude... that was fucked up.
I think you're my new hero.

Yeah, your right. Teenage girls like stuffed animals and stuff. So how about the best of both worlds?

Although, in general, I think anything with 'Hello Kitty' is a pretty good bet, there ARE some exceptions...
Follow Kregisen's advice.
Just to note, I believe post 19 and 41 were agreeing with me. I also got 5 +reps!, which I think is a record for any single post I've ever made here. There is a lot of support for the "cute" .22 - which btw, is also available as a bolt action rifle.
I really liked the other suggestions for books and stuff. For a younger person, "Help Mom There are Liberals Under the Bed!" is a good one, as is a companion book on Hollyweird influences.
As a kind of out there idea, build her a bug out bag, then teach her how to use it.
LOL!
So would you have rather had the Hello Kitty .22 AR or the voodoo doll? I'm guessing the former
So do I!!!!
You might get her a copy of "The Student Resistance Handbook" too

EDIT: Before getting her a copy of 1984 or other common books, ask her school if they are regularly assigned. Be a drag to get a copy and then be given one by the school a few weeks later.
EDIT2: You might consider some cyberpunk books like Neuromancer and Burning Chrome. They describe a distropia in which corporations rule the world. Seems to be the direction we are moving.

Get her a copy of Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Shelby's_ABZ_Book
Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book (ISBN 067121148X) is a satirical alphabet book by Shel Silverstein. First published in 1961, it is sometimes described as "subversive". The cover on some editions of the book read "A primer for adults only" while other editions read "A primer for tender young minds" instead.
Much of the humor derives from a cynical drive to give the reader misleading, harmful advice. A portion of the book originally appeared in a slightly different form in Playboy magazine. Silverstein urges the reader to keep termites as pets, play hopscotch with real Scotch whisky and give Daddy a haircut while he sleeps. He tells the reader that "Mommy loves the baby more than she loves you", and he uses the letter "E" to encourage the reader to throw eggs:
See the egg.
The egg is full of slimey gooey white stuff and icky yellow stuff.
Do you like to eat eggs?
E is also for Ernie.
Ernie is the genie who lives in the ceiling.
Ernie loves eggs.
Take a nice fresh egg and throw it as high as you can and yell "Catch, Ernie! Catch the egg!"
And Ernie will reach down and catch the egg.[1]
He defines gigolo as a woodwind musical instrument similar to the recorder, assumes the reader can eat as many as 116 green apples in a single day and states that quarantine means, "Come on in, kids. Free ice cream." He also tells kids that there is a real live pony inside the car and elves inside the TV set.
Of course this is all offered in a humorous vein; Nevertheless, some readers have been offended by the satire. Indeed, Silverstein is one of the American Library Association's most challenged authors. While some view the book's humor as directed towards adults, it was Silverstein's belief that children and elderly people should be treated no differently than anyone else.[2]

"Steal This Book" is also a classic - but might piss the parental units off...
It's also very dated... At the same time, I'd wait for something like 14-16 before giving something like this. Just because of some of the content.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steal_this_book
Steal This Book is a book written by Abbie Hoffman. Written in 1970 and published in 1971, the book exemplified the counter-culture of the sixties. The book sold more than a quarter of a million copies between April and November 1971.[2]
The book, in the style of the counter-culture, mainly focused on ways to fight the government, and against corporations in any way possible. The book is written in the form of a guide to the youth. Hoffman, a political and social activist himself, used many of his own activities as the inspiration for some of his advice in Steal This Book.[3]
...
Steal this Book is broken up into three sections, “Survive!”, “Fight!”, and “Liberate!”. Each section has several sub-chapters each pertaining to its section.
The section “Survive!” is all about getting “free” things and as its title indicates, surviving. It includes chapters on how to acquire food, clothing, furniture, transportation, land, housing, education, medical care, communication, entertainment, money, dope, and other assorted items and services. The section “Fight!” is all about the counter-culture imperative of rebelling against the government and corporations. It includes chapters on starting an underground press, guerrilla radio, guerrilla television, what to bring to a demonstration that’s expected to be violent, how to make an assortment of home-made bombs, first aid for street fighters, legal advice, how to seek political asylum, shoplifting techniques, stealing credit cards, monkey warfare, gun laws, and identification papers. This section also includes advice on such topics as growing cannabis, living in a commune, and obtaining a free buffalo from the Department of the Interior. It discusses various tactics of fighting as well as giving a detailed list of affordable and easy ways to find weapons and armor that can be used in a confrontation with law enforcement. The section advocates rebelling against authority in all forms, governmental and corporate. The third section is “Liberate!” with the chapter headings: Fuck New York, Fuck Chicago, Fuck Los Angeles, and Fuck San Francisco. The book also includes an appendix that lists approved of organizations and other books worth stealing.[8]
As the book ages, the specific details of the various techniques and advice Hoffman gives have become largely obsolete for technological or regulatory reasons, but the book iconically reflects the yippie zeitgeist.
