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

Obama’s police state and Communism!
It doesn’t matter what the kid wants. They don’t pay the bills.
That is teaching kids to steal. how disguesting.
What a bunch of morons teach them something useful.Stealing is wrong and children handling weapons without parental supervision is dangerous. Stick to math and science and the like.
this stupid, theft. If A child did this they could be arrested for theft
Come get it yourself…. good luck.
This was a sick and corrupt thing to do!!!!!!!
the movie :Idiocracy” comes to mind … so if someone has an I.Q. between 135-150 +/- , how would you rate them ?
Supporting a criminal act…. And the kid shows up at school with a gun and the cops kill him for it or send him to prison. Right.
Germany used these same tactics in the Early/mid 30’s , right when Hitler came to power
