Be SMART

The Be SMART campaign was launched in 2015 to promote responsible gun ownership in order to reduce child gun deaths. Whether you’re a gun owner, or you know someone who owns a gun, there is a role for everyone in the conversation around secure gun storage. Be SMART is a framework that parents, caretakers, and community leaders can follow to help keep their communities safe. Ultimately, you can help prevent kids from accessing firearms by storing them securely, and encouraging others to do the same. Here's how to Be SMART 

S: Secure all guns in your homes and vehicles. M: Model responsible behavior around guns.A: Ask about unsecured guns in other homes.R: Recognize the role of guns in suicides. T: Tell others to Be SMART
