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

gun control freaks are absolute morons.
if gun goes off in class and some kids die will the school be responsible 100%
They should be charged with child endangerment this is so stupid.
Anyone remember from history class about the “Hitler Youth” programs to turn in their parents. Hmmm…..seems like maybe history will repeat itself here in this country.
Big Brother creeps ahead. This is Just Like the policies in Nazi Germany and the old Soviet Union where kids were taught to spy & report on their parents and value The State over their parents!
obviously this is a awful idea. That said if your kid has access to your guns you should be in jail.
Find all the people that tell the kids to do this. Line them up in front of the firing squad and shoot them all!
It’s illegal and a felony to support or aid and abet the theft of a fire arm so the school officials need to be arrested
Unbelievable
That’s been I done before. Not good idea.
