John,
As COVID-19 changes the world around us, the nature of gun violence is shifting, too. Kids may not be traveling to school anymore, but the dangers of gun violence still exist.
More kids than ever are now home for the rest of the school year, but social isolation, online bullying and threats of self-harm continue. And on top of that, too many kids are living in homes with unsecured guns that put them at even greater risk. That's why we need firearm safe-storage policies in place now before it is too late.
Please, sign the petition now to demand safe storage laws to keep children and families safe.
Unsecured firearms at home lead to devastating outcomes for the children who find them. But we can prevent tragedies at home, just as we can prevent them at school. Promoting safe storage ensures we can keep children and families safe from gun violence as they spend more time at home.
Thank you for your commitment to keeping children and families safe.
Sincerely,
Nalini Ramachandran
