In light of recent child gun accidents, awareness raised
for need of Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program

Quote:
In the past few weeks, three children in Washington state have been shot
— two of them killed — because the owners of guns didn't lock them up tight.
So, who does the politicians call for help
... none other than ......(wait for it)............ the NRA !
Quote:
The National Rifle Association, education professionals,
urban housing safety officials, clinical psychologists, and law enforcement
developed the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program to teach children
in prekindergarten through third grade how to stay safe if they encounter a gun.

Since the Gun Safety program began in 1988, it has reached
more than twenty-one million children, in all fifty states.

WOW ! 21,000,000 children in all 50 states
- somehow Eddy Eagle is not working for 3 year olds.
