Anti Gun PSA Encourages Kids To Steal Parents’ Guns And Turn Them In To Teachers
NOTE: THE ORIGINAL VIDEO HAS BEEN MADE PRIVATE SO I AM MAKING SURE IT IS AVAILABLE HERE. A San Francisco-based production company has released a PSA encouraging kids to commit a crime by a stealing their parents' guns and turing them into teachers at school. The anti-gun ad was published Dec. 13 by Sleeper 13 Productions and features a boy who appears to be in his early teens walking up the stairs of his home into his mother’s bedroom. 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. The ad’s director, Rejina Sencic, took to Twitter to taunt those she says are “afraid to share” her ad.
