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

Funny are teachers so dum they dont know that felany that the teacher can go to jail there self for this lieing to kids is not a crime but gun theif is and the one that caused the crime will be hunted down and put in jail
Real dumb idea from left wing liberals & gun grabbers.
What those people are doing is a crime…And they need to be prosicuted for it..
THAT is why you purchase a METAL GUN LOCKER with a combination lock on it….
this is beyond idiotic who ever is responsible for this should be arrested every one involved in it
they were putting lives in danger including the child
Just like what happened in Germany and Russia. Wake up prople.
Not in my house. My siblings know the value of a gun. Everyone caries, everyone !!!!
What a stupid bunch of people.
How come they are not charged with aiding and abetting in a felony?
