John, Our nation's gun violence crisis is preventable, and responsible gun ownership is a critical part of the solution. Roughly 1 in 3 American adults own guns—and 4.6 million children live in homes with loaded and unlocked firearms. Giving gun owners the resources and knowledge to safely own and operate their firearms is crucial to the success of the gun safety movement and can save lives. But right now, many gun owners don't receive any training, and many of the trainings that do exist leave out critical safety fundamentals. So we're stepping in. Today, we're launching Train SMART, a new approach to firearms training created by military veterans, designed for current and prospective gun owners.
Train SMART will provide affordable courses that center gun safety in a way other trainings ignore, covering topics like secure storage, suicide prevention, and de-escalation techniques in addition to marksmanship. Whether you're considering buying a firearm or are a long-time owner, we're here to teach you lifesaving best practices for responsible gun ownership. Courses are available online, and registration is open right now! Learn more about Train SMART and share with prospective or current gun owners in your life. Thank you for being a part of this movement, and for joining us as we deliver a first-of-its-kind firearms training program that prioritizes safety. Train SMART  |
