Followed the link to the PSA video from another David Codrea post on FB, linking to his to his regular The War on Guns blog page.

From David Codrea:
Let's hope MILM there washed those things, so the kids don't pick up anything else.
How very "progressive" the propaganda masters are, putting those things in the hands of child actors. I'm sure they'd dismiss that concern as an uptight, repressed conservative just being a prude.
I note there is no message on "Teach children to respect privacy and property boundaries" and "Teach development-appropriate firearm and other safety lessons."
The forehead-palming thing is, I'm seeing some, who should know better, expressing appreciation for the "cleverness" of the bit, and believing it to be an effective "safety" message that shouldn't be knocked. Congratulations on helping professional illusionists. employed by an "evolved" breed of disarmament advocates. succeed in their sleight of mind.

What do you expect from a society that cares more about the breeding and training of their dogs than of their children ?

The clever thing here is that they are taking a position that is very hard for the gun rights lobby to oppose. After all, does anyone disagree with the position that when a firearm if not under your immediate control it should be secured? Michael Bane just talked about the need for safes in one of his podcasts.
Of course, the ad gives the false impression that such accidents are common, when they are not. It also omits the fact that such incidents have been dropping for over 100 years. However, most Americans don't know this.....

Yep.
Indeed clever.
It sort of side-steps the 'point' of teaching to leave ALL things alone that one's not supposed to mess with by throwing the 'guns' out there with a technically unarguable point. One could apply the same rule to many things...from power tools to kitchen knives.
