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

Michael McClendon Hollie King McClendon is this why homeschooling is trending upward lol…..sheeesh
not a right or left thing its the government agenda
So how many school children will die with this latest stunt? Do ya know many people keep guns loaded? So, they have just solicited untrained minors to handle weapons; to transport them to school; to steal. Nice, really nice.
VERY WRONG !!
poisoning the thoughts of children
what our children r being taught not only to steal but go against their parents as well as if parents r the enemy owning a gun. what is the government up to ?
but if they carry, the school goes into shooter panic mode?
Liberals are the enemy of freedom. Using the youth like Adolf Hitler to further their cause.
Probably Michael, not only is the child carrying an illegal weapon (for his age) it’s acknowledging that theft is ok, even in the home, and furthermore, why is the child privvy to where the gun is hidden? Smacks of idiocy I would think.
