Every year, 350 children living in America under the age of 18 gain access to a firearm and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else, like a sibling, parent, friend, or another person.

The campaign asks parents and caretakers to ‘Be SMART’ and take these simple steps:

- Secure all guns in homes and vehicles
- Model responsible behavior around guns
- Ask about the presence of unsecured fi****ms in other homes your child visits
- Recognize the role of guns in su***de
- Tell your peers to Be SMART

Be SMART raises awareness that secure gun storage — storing guns locked, unloaded and separate from ammunition — can save children’s lives. Learn more and join us.
