'Monumentally Stupid' Anti-Gun PSA Urges Kids to Steal Parents’ Firearms [and take them to school]
yahoo.com ^ | December 23, 2014 | Jennifer O'Neill

The controversial Dec. 13 clip from Sleeper 13 Productions in San Francisco, titled “Stop Gun Violence - PSA,” shows a teenage boy take a handgun from his mother’s dresser drawer, stash it in his backpack, and bring it to class. Walking up to his teacher after the period ends, the student slaps the gun on her desk. “Can you take this away?” the child actor asks the shocked teacher. “I don’t feel safe with a gun in my house.”

Then the messages “Our children deserve a safe world” and “Stop gun violence now” are plastered onscreen before production credits run, notably lacking any sponsors or collabor

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms even put out a press release detailing the number of crimes depicted in the piece. “We’re talking about felony theft of a firearm, illegal possession of a handgun by a minor, having a gun in a school, illegal concealed carry by a minor, brandishing and maybe one or two other crimes, depending upon the jurisdiction,” wrote chairman Alan Gottlieb on Dec. 22. “… At the very least, the boy in this video would wind up being arrested and face felony charges.” As should the creator, Gottlieb continued: “The message of this video is so monumentally stupid that if any youth does something like this after watching it, the producers should face charges.”

But the filmmaker, Rejina Sincic, told Yahoo Parenting that she stands by the piece and its message. “Kids shouldn’t have access to firearms in their homes,” Sincic emailed Yahoo Parenting, without responding to an inquiry about who sponsored the video. “Violent crimes have been committed by children who wrongfully had access to firearms. Society as a whole should take stricter measures to keep guns out of the hands of children.”

No, the video clearly shows the kid sneaking into his parent’s room to steal the gun.

It’s a propaganda piece to get your children to rat on their parents.

I was intimating that he had discvered the gun earlier when he was rummaging through his mothers belongings.

I took it that he specifically went to steal the gun.

Would recommend to re-initiate the Fresh-Air program for disadvantaged city student Youth. Only this time initiate & make MANDATORY for all TEACHERS -

GET THEM OUT OF THEIR IVORY TOWERS AND INTO THE REAL WORLD> Every summer for every 4 years they would have to spend the whole summer ON A FARM up here in the mountains and go outside every night to face the coyotes and mountain lions [sometimes a couple wolves] with NO GUN and defend the chickens with just bare hands..

Just send em outside disarmed and let them fend for themselves in THE REAL WORLD=

SOB sob TEACHERS NEED SOME EDUCATIN` BUT GOOD!

The bureaucrats would not confront parents themselves, they wouldnuse the children as human shield to do it... just like school gun free zones also have children repeating what Obama says and risk get killed by terrorists for holding views not even their own.

You know, if a Right wing group suggested kids rat on their parents for something the Left would livid.

They on the other-hand think it’s okay to rat on parents, steal their property, and take a gun to school on lark.

It would seem this would be contributing to the delinquency of a child. Is there such a thing any longer? I don’t know.

I sure wish someone of authority would determine yes and take some action against these people.

If some kid takes a gun to school and names her, her entire fortune of $125.13 cents will be forfeit. So should her freedom.

[all which has happened in the state where I live]
