It is a known fact that every gun in the hands of a child must first pass through the hands of an adult. Here in America, one out of three homes with children has a gun, many kept unlocked or loaded. Every year thousands of kids are killed and injured as a result through homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings.
With our PSA Every Three Hours, were highlighting the impact of gun violence on kids, parents, and the medical community to encourage the frank conversations about guns that can save kids lives.
We all know that children are naturally curious. And we also know that guns are dangerous, especially when they arent stored as safely as possible. And our hearts breaks when we hear the stories about families devastated by loaded, unsecured guns that result in unintentional child shootings.
Every week in this country, one child under the age of 14 dies from an unintentional shooting. But together, we can prevent these senseless tragedies.
With the launch of our new PSA Toys, we wanted to share with you a powerful tool to raise awareness and normalize the common-sense safety steps that can save our childrens lives.
