Wow...a bit of an irresponsible message if their hope is to stop gun violence. How many "accidents" would this spawn, let alone the obvious legal offences

They're lucky that gun didn't go off when dropping it on the desk pointed at the teacher, since the kid obviously doesn't know how to handle a firearm. And yeah, schools are zero tolerance, so he's be expelled and arrested.

+Gabriel78h Or when he picked it up, finger immediately on the trigger.  Very irresponsible video.

My biggest concern is that this will be distributed to people who don't know better and think this is a good suggestion; and innocently pass it on. This is a total "snopes" moment.

+Jeff McDonald If the kid is scared with the firearm in the house, he is likely unknowledgeable about operation. That would mean the firearm is likely loaded, with the safety in a questionable state, the whole time.

And he picked it up with his finger in the trigger too

If my child stole my gun, I'd press charges and send his faggoty ass to jail.

No likely to it.  Even 25-30 years ago our handbooks stated we'd be expelled if we came in brandishing a piece on school grounds.

how can i spam the like button? this comment needs about a billion likes more.

Also bringing a gun to a gun free zone.

+acorvettemaniac1976 Ignore this comment.

+Luke Putman to be clear i meant the comment. i will add it to my post. sorry for the confusion. and that too.

+acorvettemaniac1976 Thanks for clarifying. It's good to know you're actually not stupid. :)

+Luke Putman i should be thanking you, i didnt think it be seen that way. i taught it was implying the comment. thanks for helping me see that error.

Let's not overlook the fact that the teacher may be guilty of receiving stolen property.

In a better America, where the 2nd Amendment taken literally is a sufficient gun control law, kids could take a (voluntary, of course) field trip to a gun range for a gun safety course.

+Jeff Cave And while it's likely loaded as you point out, it's also rattling around inside a backpack unholstered with the trigger guard uncovered (likely among random school supplies). No telling where/at whom it will be pointed when it negligently discharges. There are so many levels of irresponsibility and dangerous behavior here it's hard to list them all...

+John Smith that makes two of us

Top four I can name off the bat, 1) removing the gun without permission is felony theft. 2) carrying the gun around all day is carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, 3) taking the loaded gun to school is a violation of federal statute prohibiting firearms on school grounds, and 4) transferring the gun to the teacher is an illegal firearms transfer in violation of federal statutes as there is no paperwork and no background check.

So kudos to the anti-gunners out there, you've created a video that encourages underage children to violate at least three federal laws in one fell swoop. Next up i imagine you'll advocate they start selling crack to kindergartners so they can donate the money to drug shelters. What a bunch of morons.

 Yeah, but the problem with that is it makes logical sense.

No kid would do that. Clarification; no kid who's parents have guns in the house don't feel safe knowing their parents can protect them, those kids are taught safety and respect. So, only in an alternate Hollyweird reality does that make sense.

Let's let our guard down when we're the most hated country in the world, and we're being downgraded, bankrupt, and #2 economically to do China. No need to defend the police against execution-style jihad in NYC. Nah. Guns are da-a-a-a-angerous. Sheeeeeeple don't neeeeeed guns. 

+Trixie #greatandpowerful  Sorry, I don't mean to treat you poorly. Just, what part about that makes sense?

+Scott Corrigan
 LOL I was being sarcastic. I agree with you.

Oh, hahaha. Zing! U had me going.

NOTE: this isn't a second amendment issue I'm addressing. I don't live in the US, and have no real opinions on US Constitutionality. I am more concerned about the legal, and (even more importantly) safety issues involved.
