Program: Be SMART for Kids – Keeping guns away from kids Jill Chisholm and Suzanne Sancillo spoke on the need for securing firearms so they don’t fall into the hands of kids who can use them to injure or kill themselves or others. Firearms are the leading cause of death among children. Clever, curious children can find hidden guns. More than half of stolen guns are taken from cars. Be SMART and protect your family: SECURE all guns in your home and vehicles, MODEL responsible behavior around guns, ASK about unsecured guns in other homes and vehicles, RECOGNISE the role of guns in suicide, TELL your friends and neighbors to be SMART. They provided information on various devices available for securing guns individually or in numbers, in homes or in vehicles. |
