Is this the answer to America's gun problems?

Heard about this on the radio today.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/dec/22/psa-encourages-kids-to-steal-parents-guns-hand-ove/

A startling new anti-gun ad released by a San Francisco-based production company encourages children to commit a series of crimes by stealing their parents’ guns and turning them over to school officials, The Daily Caller reported Monday.

So, brilliant idea or what? Hey kids, steal daddy's gun and bring it to school!

I have a strong dislike for guns but that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

How about some very christian adds promoting love and peace? Like " You do not need gun anymore, love is stronger than guns", etc, etc...

LOL!!!

Doesn't seem to have been particularly well thought out!


Kind of typical of many educational policy matters if you ask me.

I hope they didn't pay their consultants too much to come up with that.

The fact that it makes no sense, maybe?

Love does not kill. Guns do.

Yes, let's pretend human nature doesn't exist and paint pretty pictures to comfort ourselves. Sounds like a plan.

Yep, I'm not a fan of guns and would like to see reasonable gun control laws established, but this is plain stupid.

Guns do not kill, the person who uses them does, get it straight.

sure so you say it is ok to have guns around toddlers and kids?

 

[JAZZGASM]

Depends on whose kids they are. Darwin at its finest.

So Americans lead in Darwin's award as well. Dang....the best in everything!

MVP's post definitely made me think of John Lennon.

I mean, I like the thought, but let's have some grown up talk, MVP.

One of my all time favorites and a song that can often bring me to tears.

I'm still alive and my dad had guns around. It's all about promoting safety and education. People need to realize that while guns are fun, and useful, they aren't toys. People need to be properly trained to use them.
