Using the tagline, If they find it, theyll play with it. So always lock up your guns, advocacy group Evolve has released an ad, intended to go viral, featuring young boys playing with dildos.
In the ad, a young mother is picking up her son from a play-date as the two boys race around the house. As the mothers chat, the two boys burst through the front door and into the front yard, engaging in a sword fight with the discovered sex toys in front of their startled and embarrassed mothers.
The ad comes from gun safety advocacy group Evolve, founded in the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook shootings that left 28 dead, including shooter Adam Lanza.

OP
That really is a good ad. Aimed at the mom's of the households, but still good.

(14,337 posts)1. Shit, no, as a Mom who found a gun in my backyard
after a neighborhood burglary. I did not pick it up to see if it was loaded. Oh, no, never had gun safety as adult, or I should have checked to see if it was loaded???? Screw that. Get my fingerprints all over that gun? Do they teach THAT in Eddie Eagle for ADULTS? I got on my cell phone, did not PICK UP THE DAMNED GUN, and called the cops. I also stayed there with that gun until the police arrived so no CHILD could come around and find that gun, loaded or not.
