An ad released by relatives of those lost in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting uses story and misdirection to make an all-too-real point: You can stop gun violence, if you know what to look for.

The spot, titled “Evan,” engrosses viewers over a one-minute-and-40-second love story with a chilling twist. Since releasing on YouTube Friday, it’s garnered 2.5 million views and countless floored reactions:

Using selective framing and focus, the ad shows the subtle signals that potential shooters often reveal and casts viewers as those close to them who can easily miss such red flags. A sentimental folk song sets the tone for a budding romance that unfolds with expert pacing. Then it all comes to shattering halt.
 
Yes great ad really. Look for anyone who doesn't fit in, likes guns, and is just plain different you need to act because they're a school shooter. They should be investigated removed from school, and if they happen to ask for help ruin their life.

Nothing meaningful other than be suspicious of a certain type of teen. Profiling is okay if they're white.


This ranks up there with the one they did where they suggest kids steal their parent's firearms and bring them to school.
 
Gun shots stun people too. You should watch some of those!

Nevertheless, this sort of thing does happen IRL and is preventable if the signs are noticed.
 
After the 1999 Columbine High School massacre there was a lot of debate over who or what was to blame -- violent video games, a general violence culture, high-school bullying, etc., etc. -- but, one thing is undeniable: It would not have happened if it had been just a little bit more difficult for two emotionally disturbed teenagers to amass a small arsenal of firearms and ammunition without some responsible adult taking notice.
 
Bullies play a huge part. Inroads are being made against bullying but we need to step that up.

Get rid of guns, stop bullying and better fund mental health. Sounds easy anyways!
