NATIONAL SAFE DAY

June 4 and National SAFE Day hold the power to prevent tragedy from repeating itself. One in every three households in the United States has a gun stored somewhere inside. With the help of The Brooklynn Mae Mohler Foundation, we are committed to ending senseless child deaths through education of responsible gun ownership. We hope this National Day also empowers parents to ask about guns where their children visit.

#NationalSAFEDay

One in three households has a firearm. If one of those households has a gun, you have the right to know if the gun is secure. The life of one innocent child is not worth challenging the odds of possibility. There are many ways to secure a firearm and still allow for fast access. There is no excuse to place easy access above child safety. 

What does SAFE Stand for? 

  • S- Secure all firearms in the home.

  • A- Ask the question about unsecured firearms in the homes your child visits.

  • F- Frequently talk to your children about the dangers of firearms. 

  • E- Educate and Empower others to be SAFE.

STAY SAFE ON NATIONAL SAFE DAY 

Parents, whether gun owners or not, need to take steps to educate children and to ask the question when in homes where their children visit. Security of firearm storage is vital to the safety of children and is the responsibility of the gun owner. You have the right to ask the questions that will protect your child and their friends.
