Seems weird to me that a "public service announcement" would advocate breaking so many laws

On the other hand, that's pretty much what gun-control freaks do -- they don't  realize how many laws there are to control guns already, and they don't believe that the Second Amendment even counts. So they give us steaming heaps of poo like this and think it is advocating a good way to deal with guns:


Charles C.W. Cooke at National Review is able to disabuse us of the notion that anything this kid is doing is a good idea -- or even legal:

Moreover, in 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.

I don't know why gun-control types think every gun is bad under all circumstances unless it is wielded by the government. Aren't these the same people who are marching in the streets over recent grand jury decisions not to indict police officers over the deaths of suspects the officers encountered? The same people protesting and claiming that the police (writ large, by the way -- all police) are racists who are just walking around looking for minorities to kill are also arguing that only the police should legally have guns. I believe this is known as cognitive dissonance.
