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

Well, let’s see:
1. Theft of a firearm [felony]
2. Unlawful concealed carry [felony]
3. Carrying a gun onto school property [felony]
4. Possession of a handgun by a minor
This hysterical screed masquerading as a PSA should give us an insight into the situationally ethical moral compass and the relative intelligence of our worthy opposition.
Actually 3 felonies. …stealing, bringing gun to school, and teacher receiving stolen property!!!!
Impeach and prison
This would be a huge mistake. Opening these doors will cause problems all around. The Anti Gun FOOLS need to leave the people alone!
multiply by 0.7, if you are using modern scores and 1.4. if you are using the older 140 scale.
The old 112 is now 160.
I would pull my kids from these schools. Imagine, teaching kids to steal guns…What morals are they teaching anyway.
The trouble is, a highly intelligent mind often overlooks simplicity, expecting something complex and engaging.
destroy your framily trust forever and benefit no one theft is theft and kid can be charged and gun at school handing to teacher and shot by teacher …..no more mistakes ..be loyal to land people and constitution ..only regimes except theft and tyranny as correct
They know better,family first,country second
