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

Wrong color shirt, BROWN is the color of gov’t kids!
charge the child with a theft and the teacher with party to a crime
They learned from Hitler well.
sue the teachers
I am not into guns, but I am hearing loud warning bells with this ‘request’, sounds scary and sinister. Who expects children and minors to do their bidding like this? Asking children to steal anything, especially a weapon and carry it to school?? No, no, this is definitely wrong, and one should be very suspicious.
He’s one of obama’s buddy’s like sharpton etc. that’s why nothing will happen to him.
God says in His Holy Word that in the last days that children will turn on their parents and parents will turn on their children! One of the prophecies!
Obama’s regime, Hitler wannabes. They make me sick.
The democratic party is now the Communist party. No doubt about it!
Just sickening !!
