PSA Video from Sandy Hook Parents

[RedStickChick]

Watch the whole video, and then leave your thoughts behind.

This is dumb. That is my thought. Carrying around a gun magazine (American Rifleman was it?) or looking at gun websites should not flag anyone as being a potential crazy...

I get it! They want kids to help schools violate the First Amendment.
All this trouble after rich white kids are murdered by a criminal. A lot more poor black kids are killed in other cities, but no one cares about them. I am tired of hearing about dead children who were not supposed to die because they had silver spoons. I do not have any sympathy for them.

 

[323MAR]

Obama's drone strikes in Pakistan killed over 180 innocent children. No one cares because it was only Arab Muslim kids. They were not rich white kids.

Know the signs?

I suppose if my employer looked through my search history and saw 6.5 Creedmoor ballistic data, then they could deduce that I'm gonna conquer the world, right?

 

[CatCam]

I watched it -- I take away from it to be cognitive of what's going on around you, there is a difference in somebody who has a liking for firearms as opposed to someone who wants to use (insert weapon here gun, knife, sticks and stones, etc.) for bodily harm/death.
The video did a poor job of showing what to look for.

 

[Fred_G]

Total BS IMHO. Wonder if they heard this song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqdbULQ-c6Q

 

[Gator 45/70]

Sorry, The unicorn music shut me down after 10 seconds.

Preventing gun violence before it starts, that reminds me of that Tom Cruise movie where they arrested people before they committed a crime.

I agree.

I watched the entire video (Although the music was making me want to ring out )

I didn't see anything really wrong with the premise. I agree with CatCam that they wanted to promote situational awareness that the execution was a bit flawed.

I never can seem to get my links to embed quite right.

I loled. That was dumb.

 

[oleheat]

Awful. The message they're sending did wake me up.


We have far too many chick folk singer wannabes flooding the market.

100% agree. And these damn companies keep putting them in their commercials thinking it's trendy.

Maybe my memory slips away sometimes, but as I recall the Sandy Hook shooter was not a troubled student retaliating on his schoolmates. Someone help me remember please? Maybe if this video was produced by the students of Columbine High in 1999 it would be a little more in the same ball park. I understand the producers of the video want to get a message across about recognizing signs of things to come, but that should start at home.

At least it's not a video about taking our guns away or a gun registry

Taking our guns away - I don't own any.
Registry - Louisiana is one state that doesn't do that.

Don't look them in there eyes, they have no soul.
