It would be pretty difficult to conjure up a stupider anti-gun script than this. The kid actor portrayed in the film isn’t taking a firearm to school to inflict a mass shooting; he’s turning it in to his teacher so that his home can be a “gun-free zone” to foster a more “safe world.”

Via Charles C. Cooke: “[I]n the course of his little ploy, the kid breaks pretty much every law on the books. He takes a gun out of his house (not only is this felony burglary, but he’s not old enough to carry a firearm in public); he then takes that gun into a school (that’s against federal and state law); and, finally, he transfers it to a teacher without a background check, thereby breaking the very rule that progressives tell us is necessary to keep us all safe from gun violence. And for what, pray? Typically, anti-gun commercials focus in on a specific safety issue: a lack of trigger locks, or background checks, or safe-storage, for example. This one seems to feature a child who is saying, ‘I don’t want any guns in the house at all.’ This absolute approach is extreme, even for today’s class of wildly incompetent control freaks. Worse, perhaps, the child seems to believe that the public school system exists as a general service that he might use if he wishes to deprive his parents of their constitutional rights – an implication, let’s say, that is unlikely to win many converts. Disaster.”

The gist of the message? The Second Amendment be damned.
