Protect Your Child: Gun Safety 

Hey guys, I dont like to post serious comments such as this but i saw this add on TV and it really hit me. Unfortunately about a year ago i attempted to take my own life in this way. Luckily i missed most of my head but lost a good part of my nose and lips. My dad was the one who found me and had to take the gun away before I took a second shot. For whoever it may help, if you notice your son or daughter beeing a bit quite or sad, just be safe and always put guns in a locked safe. And if the thought of hurting yourself ever even flashes though your mind for a second - talk to someone please. I dont think suicide is very selfish and please remember those who succeeded with kindness, but the guilt of succeeding or suviving is terrible and causes terrible pain to your family. My dad and I’s relationship and memories are identical to the ones in this video, he is the most loving man ever but some things just cant be fixed. I love you dad.

To me, this is a positive gun safety ad. It deals with the fact that some people want, have, and/or need guns in their lives in a realistic way rather than an unrealistic “just don’t have a gun” message, while promoting proper safety and storage. As a big pro gun guy and an avid Hunter, I approve of this ad. I have no children yet myself but if I do I’ll get a variety of safes for my firearms to keep them safe.

OMG I LOVE THIS! Was not expecting a good ending, absolutely incredible message and everything.

I think that it is hard sometimes for parents to lock up guns, some are from their parents, brothers, or friends, and they don’t have the money to get a safe. I think there should be non profit to give parents gun safes to protect children

I think this is a good psa. In australia, its required by law to have 2 different safes when you have a gun license, but thats not implemented everywhere. But also, as someone who has attempted to ykw themselves, its important to make sure teens and kids dont have easy access to things that can kill them (like guns, medications, drugs etc) because its not hard to at least try take your own life once you get in that mindset

This is why I hate bullies 🤬😡

the amount of people saying that they dad shouldnt have locked up the guns is suprising- if my dad didnt keep his guns locked up, i wouldve already kms by now

I've been close to this point in my life. I just started getting some real bad thoughts at work and thought about the ways I could take my own life, sad thing is that this wasn't even the first time I thought about it. Before I had ultimately decided to use pills and alcohol to just drift away. But going through the various methods in my head, when I thought about a gun, my thoughts changed. Before it was ruled out because I didn't want to make a mess and traumatize my family with that image. But as I thought about a gun that day at work something in me changed and I realized that the only reason I really ruled it out was because I didn't have a permit for a gun. I started bawling and broke down right there. When I got home I told my mom and she immediately started to look up therapists and she told me everything was gonna be okay and just talked to me about 4 or 5 hours about anything and everything we could think of. While I haven't gone to a therapist I promised my mom that if anything like that popped up in my head that I would immediately go to her and we would just sit down to talk. If you ever find yourself in a low point, don't be scared to talk to your family, the love and support they give you can be a literal lifesaver.

I love this PSA. I've never cried or related to a video like I have to this one. I've battled severe depression for many, many years and I've felt everything that this young man has, especially the pen + paper moment. Sometimes, I still feel like giving up, but I realize there are people out there who care. Please know that you're not alone, and that there is someone out there who cares, whether you believe it or not.

The boy seems like a really nice guy

This was a great ad - as a gun owner we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard - this was a great reminder. Thanks

What an important message. Thanks for the reminder.

I like this ad cause instead of being like "Guns evil abolish guns off the face of the earth" it's just saying guns can be dangerous in the wrong hands so get a gun safe

This made me start ugly bawling. I suffer from severe depression and have tried to attempt (it didn’t get far) but I never told anyone and nobody knows. It hurts to keep all you emotions in. Don’t keep your emotions in. Get help when you need it.

The rocket flew back down to earth and game ended the kid and the dad. Omg this is so sad...

We all have this kind of downtime. A time when we wan't to give up. That one lock door is the only thing that can bring you back from trying to put yourself down for good.

I once saw this add where a guy made it so he put his gun in the drawer loaded and his son shot himself and then his daughter is crying next to a broken lamp saying “I think I hurt mommy” I dunno if this is random but it really made me think

As a father Im pro gun and pro safty. I own many AR15s Shotguns and a M1A1 Thompson. I keep my firearms locked up and ammunition locked up separately and even have the guns dismantled in the safe.

I feel I have to add, an emotional advertisement isn't always the best reflection of reality. I lock my gun up, but it's easily accessible along with the magazine and ammo in case I need it in the middle of the night. when it takes 30 seconds to get your firearm and the ammo you're probably already dead.

Love this video! Such an important message that is timely and needs to be shared. Great acting and amazing work by all!

In my country,is ilegal to have guns at home.

I am sure glad the young adults never commit suicide with prescription drugs. Understand the dangers of Psychotropic Drugs and kids.

This video brought to you by sanctuary safes

I'm sad this is something me have to worry about now

thank you

Half way, I was about to blame the public school systems!

Otima campanha, deveria ter uma assim aquí no Brasil!!!

If you need a friend I’m here for you ❤

It's hard for kids with hormones pumping and their frontal lobe not fully developed to logically think through their emotions or pain, they can easily do something without thinking through the consequences

I was worried the poor kid was going to get the gun the entire time watching this I was like Parents?!?! We NEED the Parents?!?!! Did NOT expect me to feel this sad omg 😢😢😢

This is so beautiful

when his dad rolled over in bed i thought that mf was rick grimes from the walking dead for a moment

Makes me wish my dad was like that.

Man I wanna see the full movie now, this is entertaining stuff

why did i get a gun ad before thi-

This video is so awesome! That’s a touching message!!!!

Does anyone know who the kid is?

This was great ! Also hide all the meds too !

i love the video is very sad but well done !

I won’t give up

This got tears in my eyes.😢

Teach your kids about Firearms and the importance of gun safety early before the media does. Because not doing so is a failure of fatherhood and tradition.

This is a great video but not realistic if you live in a bad neighborhood. If you are in a bad area you may not have the money for an elaborate safe or the time to go unlock your safe.

Parents: don’t tell them the code to the safe.

bruh people who succeeded with knives look smart now

Makes me wonder why there are noose tutorials on RU-vid

Me and my brother after unlocking my dad’s safe and started playing real war

*I want to say this: don't feel alone in the world plus don't make yourself feel depressed. You always have people behind you and your loved ones. Remember that you are never alone.*

W. Dad❤❤❤😊

Omggg i cryyyy!!!

Damn good ad! Common sense

im crying

I think that’s really noticing the facts how parents to help kids what’s going on theme. But they could lock guns without shooting people makes the wrong choice.

I feel happy 😊 I love it

Its so hard for teen and young boys these days when it comes to dealing with bullying and mental illnesses. I became a psychologist just for this reason, because people will use that gun on themselves or others just to end the pain and its so sad

Anyone else felt this was because of middle school?

#armassim

Bro learn to open a safe like really? 2:12

I'm keepin' my guns. Also, children who are taught to shoot at a young age generally respect and treat em' safely.

This nearly Happened to my Dad! He was Feeling A little Down and decided To shoot Himself. Luckily Mom savęd him at the last Second.

“A safe and a couple pictures saved my life” bro just because the guns are locked away won’t make you any less suicidal 😂

to GOD be the Glory!!! Jesus uses whats bad and makes it good. I dont know how he does but he do

My parents are dum they just left there guns easily accessible to me not lock in a safe its just under our bed and a couple of magazines next to it

Those delinquents in the Tesla are the real losers. Not using auto drive. Smh

Remember, suicide is not the way of ending it, it will make it worse.

I don't believe in mandatory lock up laws, what good is a defensive tool, if it's locked away. HOWEVER. This ad hit all the right aspects of good firearms ownership. The Dad taught his Son about firearms and safety at a young age, he noticed something was wrong and took the Son to seek help, when it was learned that there might be a problem "then" he locked the guns away from the person having the issues. If you live with someone who is going through depression or has expressed suicide ideation, then that person needs to have Zero access to firearms. More ads like this please, most just blame the gun as causing all the problems, people switch off and disregard it as propaganda. Though, more than a gun safe, that kid obviously wasn't being helped, if even after a "talk" with a therapist he was still going to go through with suicide, maybe something 'more' than a talk. If you're worried about your kid enough to no longer trust him around firearms. Why then leave him alone at home. Generally depression and thoughts of suicide don't just go away on their own. If you or someone you know has thought about, or talked about suicide. Call 988 the National Life line, they can help you, or give you support and resources to possibly help a loved one.

i fucking love this vid soo relatible sep the parents :(

This is beyond belief, how are you supposed to protect your family when you need the guns? The parents failed to raise their child properly and to respect guns and his own life. And I see some people trying to argue that he's not selfish, that boy is beyond selfish for trying something like that. Also, just locking guns in a safe, which if he tried, wouldn't have been a problem to get through by force; those guns would not prevent a kid from offing themselves, as there's so many options for a guaranteed success. P.S. sorry for the long comment, wanted to say more but this is enough.

I am very fortunate. I'm able to afford guns, two guns safes. And I know gun safety. I've taught kids how to be safe with guns that aren't mine. That I will tell you. I was bullied as a kid and I was a tall, pretty much lanky kid you would think wouldn't be bullied. One kid who bullied me was short and basically psychotic and that basically drove me almost to suicide. So. This film had an impact on me. I had nowhere to turn to. The kid was just crazy. And anyone who's in that situation, understand. Seek help. There's more help out there, saying guidance counselors. Clergy, whoever. Don't give in to stuff like that. You have a good life to live. Don't give in.

If the population of the USA all killed each other with firearms, well, I’d be sorry, but not surprised. Just ask your local NRA representative not to fund lobbyists in Canada, or other countries. A very strong majority of Canadians want a hand gun ban, a semi automatic ban, multi round magazines. We have, for the most part, nothing against long guns for hunters, farmers, trappers. We have 1/8th your firearm homicide rate. We would like to reduce it to 1/120th your rate, as the UK has. In the UK, pop. 67M, there are ≈35 firearm homicides a year.

Or just a crazy idea from a French citizen, don't own firearms! It's really that simple!

nah

Crei que iba a atacar al colegio

Bridge: Am I a JoKe To YoU?????

You made this about gun safety but I cried

Don’t play the blame game.mental illness is front and center.

Jokes on you because i dont have an dad to protect me for wanting to end the life im living.

The fact that gun accesblity has 0 impact on suciced rates probably wouldn't matter right

Children dying from them accidentally shooting themselves isn't the guns fault, it's the person's fault because someone had to pull that trigger.

Time to bust out the razers and rope boys.

Thank god for the islam that tought me and my familly that selfhurting is haram💙💙

Meanwhile in India A for Apple 🍎 B for ball .....

Don't get a gun in the first place !!!!!

Thus, the State must protect its people, keeping weapons away from its citizens.

May God bless you and your family and help you Give your life to Jesus Christ and repent. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray Amen.Jesus Christ loves you. Give your life to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness for ALL OF YOUR SINS. Even the ones committed in the past and repent. He’s coming soon. Please pray and repent.

RU-vid delete my coment for pro guns opion Nice.

Even safer thing, don't have a gun !

In other words, don't buy guns you don't need it

Make a difference: don’t own guns

I dont even cry in these called ,,sad videos'' or whatever they are called but man...this?...this was too much it was too sad.

Don’t be soft about guns you teach them young and in the old days people would have a gun hanging about in case of emergency where anyone could get it. That’s how it should still be

I was worried the poor kid was going to get the gun the entire time watching this I was like Parents?!?! We NEED the Parents?!?!! Did NOT expect me to feel this sad omg 😢😢😢
