Commercial calls for children to steal their parents guns and take them to school

[Deleted]

3 or 4.. Probably 4.

I don't know gun laws in the US, but in Denmark any guns needs to be stored in a locked safe securely fastened to the wall/floor, unloaded while in storage, and stored away from ammo (Ammo can be stored in the same safe IF it's behind another lock that uses another key/combination).

Not to mention all the permits you need to not only own but also store a gun in your house.

This is pretty much the only way i tolerate gun ownership, everything else is irresponsible and stupid (like the owners)

And this is why there should be gun control, by which I mean having your firearms secured in such away that Little Johnny can't just go and pick it up, pop it in his bag and take it to show and tell, scaring the shit out of everyone.

Step 1) Steal gun, put it in your back pack
Step 2) Take it to school and turn it into your teacher. Make sure she knows you don't feel safe with it in your house.
Step 3) Enjoy living in foster care while CPS ruins your life.
Step 4) You're the reason people can't have loaded guns hidden in their houses for when or if they need it because you want to touch shit you shouldn't be touching.
Step 5) Get bullied at school because all the kids will hear about this and think you are a total knob.
Step 6) Dumb commercial go home you're drunk.

Man, mom is gonna be pissed that he stole her BB gun!

Oh look more American Liberal bias propaganda for US citizens to give up one of their rights to appease the minority that feels bad that people DIE, but its a good thing we made sure the right to kill err abort babies is just fine and dandy! To me both of these rights should never be infringed but i always find it funny when those who support abortion dislike deaths in other aspects of life.

It's pretty poorly written, but the point is very clearly meant to be that guns are bad, your children can get at them, your house and family are unsafe, and will somebody please think of the children.

The ad is not aimed at kids, it's aimed at parents. It's saying "your guns make your children feel unsafe, so get rid of them".

It's a pretty shit ad to be honest.

Where do they get the right to say these kids are afraid? I grew up with guns in my house and never once felt unsafe. I was also taught from a young age on how to handle guns.

Joe Biden probably wrote the script for this.

Children are fucking stupid, they mimic. I wouldn't be surprised if some did it after watching this poorly written commercial.

Oh, and "I don't feel safe with a gun in my house". What kind of fucking logic is that? Like, can someone explain it to me? Why would someone feel less safe with a gun in their own fucking house?

People here believe guns will force you to go on a murder spree or shoot yourself.

But if video games and music cause violence, then wouldn't the same result come from a commercial taken out of context?

[vaeevictiss]

This commercial is stupider than all of the fucks, but its nothing more than yet another way to vilify lawful gun owners. Was keeping it in a drawer with a youth around irresponsible? Maybe, but that kid is old enough to know better. I don't even have kids but my gun is either on my hip or on the nightstand next to my bed because im sleeping.

Its not hard to be responsible, but the type of people that made this don't care whether they are or not. They just don't want people to have guns.

I also keep my guns unloaded while in the safe, but the magazines are loaded on the shelf above them (still in the safe) if i ever need to ready them. Don't like it? oh fucking well, don't come over. I never had a problem with this and i'm tired of trying to "do the right thing" according to what anti-gunners; who know nothing about firearms, say i should be doing. They want to just take more and more, so fuck it, I will keep and carry my firearms in the manner which i was trained and know them to be safe.

Plain and simple, there are at least three felonies committed in this video, and the producer thinks there is nothing wrong with that.

it just like this http://www.everydaynodaysoff.com/wp-...un-Control.png (not posting it because its a huge image)

Same basic message but a lot better delivered I think.

Had to laugh.

But it's true. One should have a loaded gun (or even an unloaded one with ammo) in his nightstand. Lock it safely away, or use a quick access gun safe if you must.

And most important: Educate your kids about guns. Make sure they know they are dangerous, make sure they know what they can do.
And take them to a shooting range now and then so they know how to use and how to NOT use it, if they ever get their hands on one.

When I was maybe 10 years old, a family friend who was a police officer in California, took me to a quarry. He set up a gallon milk jug full of red Kool-Aid with a smiley face on it on an outcropping. He backed me up about 10 steps, and carefully, instructively, handed me a .38 S&W revolver and told me to take as many shots as I needed, but I had to hit the jug. I got it after a few shots, with the predictable eruption of red liquid. The lesson was pretty clear and simple -- this is what happens, this is the only reason you pick up a gun, point it, and pull the trigger, if you want to make that happen.

The PSA in question is intellectually infantile, puerile, vapid shit. What's more, it is grossly irresponsible to encourage a child to steal their parents' gun and to take it to school, probably breaking a handful of laws (and if government schools are zero tolerance on pop tart guns, they will not care about whatever poignant anti-2A crap the kid parrots, he is going to be in trouble). If a kid that old feels unsafe around the gun, then the kid should actually be taught some gun safety.

This, I think is the most important lesson. I grew up in the middle of America, in the
middle of nowhere; guns and the use of them is a very common thing around here.
Everyone was raised around them and taught proper firearm safety, care, and handling.

[One-Eyed Jack]

I'd be pissed if my child stole my gun. He would actually be endangering himself unknowingly despite his emotionally charged opinion on the matter.

[Rooflesstoofless]

So this ad starts with a kid stealing a gun and bringing it in to school, leading the audience to think that this is leading up to some kind of horrific school massacre. Then the twist is that the kid brought it in because the gun made him feel unsafe. I thought it was pretty obvious that's the point of the ad.

You'd honestly have to be pretty stupid to interpret that as "hey kids steal your parent's guns and bring them to school".

So unsafe he'd walk around with it all day and turn it in at the end of class.

Like the gun owners in government position? Since they have our interests at heart, they are exempt.

[Stormdash]

I don't think keeping the gun in that drawer was nearly as irresponsible by the parents as allowing their child to become such a simpering numbfuck as to react that way to the mere existence of the firearm. Just for scale.

“Lot of people are afraid to share my PSA!” tweeted the ad’s director, Rejina Sincic. “If you are not a coward please share #gunviolence.”

What a manipulative bitch, calling people cowards for disapproving her stupidity. Can she and her company be charged with abetting theft and gun crimes?

I would not classify a son or daughter taking something from their parents as 'stealing'. More of a displacement of goods.

He gave away the gun.
