Gun Control PSA

Gun Control Ad Tells Kids to Steal Their Parents’ Guns and Bring Them to the Worst Possible Location

Gun control advocate and independent filmmaker Rejina Sincic has created what she calls a PSA aimed at “reducing gun violence in schools and communities.”

The video depicts a teenage boy sneaking into his mother’s room, taking a gun out of her dresser drawer (who knows if it’s loaded or unloaded), putting it in his backpack and then taking it to school. After class, he waits for the other students to leave then puts the gun on the teacher’s desk and says, “Can you take this away? I don’t feel safe with a gun in my house.”

Certainly nothing could go wrong in that scenario, right?

Bearing Arms points out:

In the real world, such an act would result in the boy facing numerous felony charges (exact charges depend on state laws) possibly including weapons theft, unlawful possession of a weapon by a minor, illegal concealed carry of a weapon, carrying a weapon onto school property, assault, and brandishing.
There’s also the very real chance that someone could be hurt or killed by an accidental discharge of the gun.

Imagine if teenagers really did follow Sincic’s advice en masse? We would have hundreds of guns showing up, potentially loaded, on school property. The students would face expulsion from school.

If your goal as an activist is to create a cultural shift, encouraging children to steal their parents’ property, endanger themselves and others, and break multiple laws is not the way to do it.

The 'gun' in the video is an airsoft gun.

But yeah, these people are pretty damn dumb.

Natural selection........

how many felonies would a child doing that be committing?

[Christian Liberty]

Are they literally advocating that kids do that? Wow...

"retarded" doesn't even begin to cover it. These ads are advocating that children steal their parents weapons and give them to the State. The ad makers, any kids who follow them, and any teachers who cooperate with them are evil scumbags. Tod is right. "natural selection" indeed. I wouldn't cry for the kid if he went to prison. (Although the right thing to do... and this is the best part because it destroys the dreams of gun controllers, is that the kid should have to buy his parent two guns...)

I think if this actually happened that she would be arrested and charged for something like inciting to riot.

I don't think you can try and encourage people to break the law like this. Especially minors.

Isn't this what Adam Lanza did? How did that turn out?

[brushfire]

They love them some drama. Of course, how is the kid handling the firearm safely? He learned all about firearm safety in school, right?

No reasoning here folks, only drama.

Right out of George Orwell. Turning parents into police for inappropriate thoughts is next I guess. Sieg Heil!

This needs a sequel where the kid and his father are tied up while watching the mother being raped before all three are executed.

The poor kid would have been shot and killed before he took ten steps into the school in many school systems. They did provide a great "out" for some psycho kid getting caught entering school with a firearm. He or she is carrying it to turn it in.

Note that all the names in the credits are Indian. (As in India). Sadly they were never taught what Ghadhi actually thought about gun control.

Kids, report your parents to the government. Your parents aren't your family, your government school teachers are your family

Does every thread have to be about the cops anymore?
