Watch the Worst Anti-Gun PSA of All Time, Which Encourages Kids to Steal, Endanger Themselves, and Get Expelled
23rd December 2014
It’s astonishing how many bad ideas the creators were able to cram into a two-and-half-minute video, which concerns a child protagonist who “doesn’t feel safe with a gun in my house.”
First, the child steals the gun out of his mother’s dresser—something no young person should ever do. Then he brings it with him to school. Kids have been shot by cops for brandishing fake weapons; bringing a real gun to school is even more reckless, and could result in serious injury or death. Last, he shows the gun to his teacher and asks her to make it go away. Any child who did this would be expelled on the spot at the very least, and could face criminal charges, regardless of any mitigating circumstances.
