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

Sounds like Cuba, where teachers urge children to report any relatives or friends complaining about food shortages or government treatment
what is the worse thing a law abiding citizen could hear ? I am from the Government, and I am here to help !!!
Just like Hitler using kids to further their agenda!
They don’t care if the kid shoots himself or others- let alone our 2nd amendment rights!
Take a gun to school, thats against their law
Telling kids to go against their parents. THIS IS HORRIBLE!! Whatever happened to teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic the way it used to be taught……….correctly!!
picture this…kid comes home. scene shows his mothers dresser drawer hanging open and clothing items scattered about where she was desperately trying to find her gun.scene shows three thugs gang raping the mother and a fourth grabbing the kid and proceeding to slit his throat. caption is ” how safe do you feel now?”
This is cald stilling
Lol… Commit a federal crime of stealing a gun! Smart logic!
Yes, boy Michelle, tryed to brainwash children into reporting there parents vocabular and racial reaction to there teachers. Spy and rat on your parents. That is what Common Core is for, Brainwashing.
