I had a teacher who absolutly hated the gun control commercials where you see little timmy climbing into his parents closet and then you hear bang and the screen goes black and writing comes up that says x number of kids were killed last year due to handguns.

What he wanted to see (and me too) was a commercial that showed someone breaking into a house he climbs the stairs and you see a women laying in bed as her door knob turns then the theif walks in and the lady pulls a gun as you hear bang and the screen goes blank. Now the writing says x number of violent crimes were prevented last year due to handguns.

I agree. Such a commerical would espcially make an impact if it also included the x number of rapes prevented due to armed women.

Or better yet, has writing that informed the viewer that the dead gangbanger represented the majority of the 'kids' killed each year.
