John,
Here’s the reality: Nationwide, an estimated 54% of gun owners fail to securely lock all firearms, leaving 4.6 million U.S. children in homes with at least one unlocked, loaded gun.
We refuse to let this stay the norm. It’s not okay that 75% of youth suicides in King County alone were used by an unsecure firearm. That’s why we will continue to fight for comprehensive safe storage practice in our communities across Washington.
Say YES to Safe Storage by Pledging $5
We are ramping up for Washington’s next legislative session, and we want you to be assured that safe storage will be the priority in the halls of Olympia. That is only possible, however, through the generosity of our grassroots community. With your pledge, we can commit to high communication rates with legislators, more education programs in our communities, and less need to focus heavily on fundraising.
Will you help us advocate for SAFE STORAGE in Olympia this year?
We don’t have the luxury pretending that gun violence isn’t plaguing our communities. It’s time to confront what’s hitting our neighborhoods directly and with action.
In community,
The Alliance for Gun Responsibility Team
