Firearms are the leading method of suicide. Putting time and distance between a person in crisis and firearms saves lives. In this story, a father is always there for his son as he grows up and faces real challenges of life. The father is watching over him even when the son is considering suicide. Protect teens and help prevent suicide by locking up guns and ammo in secure safes or moving them off-site until the crisis has been adverted. Zero suicides is the only acceptable number.
If you or a loved on are considering suicide, please call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK [8255]).

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.
Just had to hit me in the feels, I do have slight depression signs but not enough to do that or even hold a knife to myself, instead I just make fun of myself and laugh it off but hope you are doing great and haven't thought about that a second time. I'm bad at these replys so hope it didnt come out in a bad way
Many things are happening in my life I plan to do I don’t wanna go through the pain so I only think about it
dude breathing in 480p now lmao
Did you just say suicide is selfish
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.
I will not ever keep all my guns in a safe especially because of some shitty video it would take to much time to go grab it if someone broke in
@@THEWARDEN809 you’re the reason why anti gunners have a platform
@@THEWARDEN809 bruh
bozo
@@THEWARDEN809 I never said all of my guns. I’ll always have one ready, but I’ll do like my dad did when he had me and keep my loaded home defense gun somewhere out of reach of children. My hunting guns and recreational ones though, a safe is wise, if only to prevent possible theft or a disaster. I carry a loaded gun every day though and that wont change.
OMG I LOVE THIS! Was not expecting a good ending, absolutely incredible message and everything.
im not expecting a good ending for you. mark 3 months from this day onto your calendar.
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
U shouldn’t own a gun if u can’t afford to be responsible for it
@@heyitsvienna7910 yeah lol
@@heyitsvienna7910 you shouldn’t have children if you can’t teach them not to disrespect your fire arms. Criminal busts in. Has a gun. I start fiddling with the safe, he clubs me in the head. I am incapacitated, then I hear my kids being raped/ murdered, while I sit there, powerless going…man I shouldn’t have put it in the safe…. Have a gun safe for burglary sure, but have one out, we’ll hidden, easily accessible, and loaded so you can protect your family at the drop of the hat. We got massive droughts. Inflation is getting out of control. Once people start getting hungry you better hope you have a gun out of your safe because that’s when the looting, murdering, and stealing starts happening, never underestimate a hungry person.
@@heyitsvienna7910 right like what a bunch of bozos
You don't need a gun safe my parents never had a big gun safe my dad took the bolts and firing pins out of every riffle and gun that he was not using as his conceal carry or only put them back in the riffles only to go shooting at the range or hunting other then that all the bolts was out of the guns put in a lock box and always hid that lock box in his office at work or on his trunk under the trunk Mat by spare tire and that's all it takes guys just tale out the bolt or firing pin and gun doesn't work its free takes a few minutes and will work to prevent suicide or even a accident happening to your kids
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

Get help, get on medication, and make a life for yourself. Killing yourself is never the answer.

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.
I hope you are OK now

i scream laughed at this comment at 2am
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.
That's so responsible. Thank you.
Great to see someone pro safty ❤
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.
THANK YOU Kids are going to commit suicide. Guns just make it easier. But gun safes also make it easier for the criminal to kill you before you can get your gun loaded and have his way with your daughter before killing her too. Bad shit happens. I’d rather the responsibility land on me rather than Fate and causality. I will control my destiny. My gun is 5 feet away, unloaded but ammo is attached to the gun ready to go. Don’t anyone dare break into my home. A rental that conveniently has a door that could be kicked in as there is no dead bolt. This is such a bullshit conjecture argument.
@@BasedRoots I feel the same way. It may not be right to have a gun ready (for safety purposes), but at least me and my family will know it’s there in time of need and danger. And *Family* is the most important thing in life. May the good people stay safe🙌
Preach it. By this logic suciced must not happen in Australia in GB. But actually after Australia stupidly gave all their guns to the government the suciced rates across the bored remained exactly the same just different manors of achiving the end goal.
I have personally been deterred from using prescription drugs like that because they are often unreliable and can cause a lot of pain instead of the desirable (painless) death. Guns are a surefire (the pun was unintentional at first but I am not sorry) way to get the job done quick and fast. Not saying that you shouldn't be very careful with prescription drugs, but removing guns as a safety threat is very helpful.

I'm sad this is something me have to worry about now
People have been shouting themselves since guns came about it’s hardly a right “now” problem
You should probably worry about your English more.
thank you
Half way, I was about to blame the public school systems!
Not talking about the video, the school system SUCKS. Did you know 2 school shootings happen a week in the world? 2 PER WEEK.
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 personally am the other way around, when my lows are low, i get these thoughts but then a spiral comes where i want to do it, but then i think about my family and their reaction. It makes me more sad but then i never think about it again. It may work for another kid!
Depression makes you feel that your life is hopeless and that your relatives will be better off without you.
It’s more kids are to soft in the old days parents would have guns laying about for anyone to use for emergency’s that is how it should go back to being and all the pussy gun safety people need to leave the country.
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 😢😢😢

Man I wanna see the full movie now, this is entertaining stuff
why did i get a gun ad before thi-
s ad? Idfk, because you wanted to?
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.
Or the time to unlock it. If you can’t afford a safe you probably can’t afford a good deadbolt. They will be in your face faster than you can hurriedly try to fiddle with a lock. Bad information. Safes are for theft, not for protection. With a sledge hammer, I could B&E any gun owners home and slaughter them faster than they can open a safe guaranteed.usually only takes one good wack and you can open any deadbolt door.
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 KZhead
There aren’t?
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.
@Kamiya B Most country kids shoot all the time and don't bushwhack public buildins', only inner-city depressed kids shoot stuff up.
@Kamiya B Actually, if you correctly teach a kid bout a firearm from a young age, teach em' how to use, tell em' what they're really used for, and get out and shoot with em' it builds responsibility.
This advertisement isn't saying "get rid of your guns" or "give them up". It just encourages parents to safely lock up their firearms if they have a suicidal child. It's not the only method of suicide, but it's by far one of the easiest.
@@satanstea6666 lol a zoomer that doesn't know what boomer means.
@Kamiya B yeah or not you'd end up with someone like me when I was 13 that played with knives because my parents never allowed me to use or even hold it and then accidentally stabbing my hand (nearly lost a finger). It's always good to teach children about the danger of weapons if you have it in your home, no matter what the weapon is. For me, it's my dad's knife collection. If you forbid a kid from doing something, they're just gonna wanna do it more. If you're wondering how I stabbed my hand. I stole one of my dad's knives and tried stabbing some stuff. I found an empty water bottle and tried to stab it. While holding the bottle, my hand is directly at the other side of the knife. When I apply too much pressure, it went through the entire bottle and accidentally stabbing my hand. It was only like half an inch away from my thumb. So, I could've lost my thumb .
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 😂
Suicide is often impulsive, and the person may get better.
@@Ravie3no it’s not, most suicide cases are planned out heavily. Also did you ever consider the fact you can kill yourself with literally anything? A gun and a car are both ways to do it, and it the short story the kid has a car. This is a stupid psa, it focuses on guns when it should focus on the suicide itself
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
SAME LOL

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.
You can’t be around a teenager 24/7. The lesson is that the dad kept his guns locked up when he had even the slightest suspicion that his son could be having suicidal thoughts.
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.

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.
don't end it
The fact that gun accesblity has 0 impact on suciced rates probably wouldn't matter right
Suicide by gun is the leading cause of teen death in the USA
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.
Its the fact that school shootings,mass shootings,shooting themselves,etc happen because of people having easy access to a gun,some people are good and use it for good reasons but when we have people that have easy access to a gun and plan om doing something horrible and when that situation happens way too often thats when its a really big problem that needs to be fixed asap
Time to bust out the razers and rope boys.
But no, not having access to a gun made me happy again!
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.
No. Firearms are handy in many cases.
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.
