In a PSA created by the San Francisco-based production company, Sleeper 13, children are encouraged to steal their parents gun, take it to school and turn it over to their parents.
This not only encourages children to break several laws, but puts their safety at risk.
The boy is shown opening the drawer to his mother’s dresser, where a handgun is hidden.
The boy takes the gun from the dresser and leaves the room. The ad then flashes to his school. Sitting in a classroom, the boy ventures up to his teacher’s desk after the rest of his classmates have left.
The tension building in the scene breaks, and the boy produces the gun from his backpack, slamming it on his startled teacher’s desk.
“Can you take this away? I don’t feel safe with a gun in my house,” the boy says.
What the ad-makers are encouraging is highly illegal and invites danger.
The boy would be guilty of weapons theft, illegal concealed carry and carrying a weapon on school property.
The ad’s director, Rejina Sencic, took to Twitter to taunt those she says are “afraid to share” her ad.
Lot of people are afraid to share my PSA! If you are not a coward please share https://t.co/q2sisRKCN1 … … #gunviolence

That was hilarious! Great voice over!
ANYONE that is proporting to do this should be removed from the USA. They are STUPID and wanting to make kids thieves and they HAVE THE LOWEST OF MORALS THERE ARE. In other words they are on the same level as Terrorists and people like Hitler and odummer
If their kid has access to the gun and ammunition. Then Then the parents are all ready stupid and irresponsible… Also an unsafe gun owners. If the kid can steal it so can criminals…
This is ridiculous.
Libs are STUPID!
This has “set-up” written all over it for both the student and Parents
Whoever came up with this idea for these kids to do this should be hung IMMEDIATELY!!!!
That’s beyond retarted!!!!
and when the kid gets to school the police shoot him dead. Lesson learned.
KEEP EM LOCKED UP PEOPLE ! !
