John—
Have you or someone you know recently purchased a gun? Is the gun secured safely? Are you sure what that means?
Securing all guns in the home—storing them locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition—can save your child's life.
Watch and share our new Be SMART PSA today and learn why secure firearm storage is so important.
The Be SMART framework is designed to help parents and adults normalize conversations about gun safety and take responsible actions that can prevent child gun deaths and injuries. 4.6 million American children live in homes with guns that are both loaded and unlocked. As gun sales soar during this pandemic while millions of kids find themselves at home, these conversations are more important than ever.
We can change this reality and keep our children safe by practicing secure firearm storage and encouraging our friends to do the same. Watch and share our new Be SMART PSA today.
These are difficult times. Take care, and may we all continue to do what we can to look out for one another.
Sincerely,
Jenn Hoppe
Director of National Programs
