Prevent Gun Violence.

Every child deserves to grow up safe—in their home, at school, and in their community. We can all play a role in preventing gun violence:

🔹 Ensure secure storage and safety checks so firearms don’t fall into the wrong hands.
🔹 Store firearms securely to help prevent shootings and accidental shootings.
🔹 Talk about gun safety and take steps to protect children and families.

Protecting our kids starts with creating safer communities. Let’s choose prevention, responsibility, and safety.
