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

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor should get this individual a heap of jail time!!!
That teacher is encouraging this child to commit a crime, and should be arrested………….
Communist tyrants prefer unarmed subjects to armed and informed citizens. Gun control is never about public safety. It’s always about control.
sounds like hitler’s germany
Their stupidity is showing(ANTI-GUN PSA)..kids are taught NOT to bring any weapons to school and especially NOT TO STEAL!!!
steal is the opperative word anyone receiving the guns is therefore guilty of receiving stolen property jail them
So basically they are encouraging kids to steal!
What a bunch of stupid idiots to tell them to do so.
Kids are being expelled from school for pointing fingers to look like a gun and what are the schools going to do when a kid brings one of their parents guns to school? This is insane!
This “PSA” makes me sick.
