Learn the SMART way of keeping children safe from firearms.
(Secure, Model, Ask, Recognize, Tell)
When guns aren’t properly stored, tragedy can strike—whether it’s a child finding a firearm and injuring or killing themselves (intentionally or unintentionally), or someone stealing it and using it to commit a crime.
Firearms are the leading cause of death for children in the United States.
BeSMART For Kids believes we all want kids to grow up happy and healthy.
We each have the right to make responsible decisions about how to protect our homes, families, and communities—including whether or not to have a gun in our home. If we can prevent even one child gun death or injury, it’s our responsibility to do so.
