Oh look! It’s America’s gun industry promoting gun safety. Yet again. With this being the holiday season, unlike the gun-grabbing scolds in the Civilian Disarmament Industrial Complex, the National Shooting Sports Foundation is reminding Americans about the importance of safely handling and storing firearms.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for head hoplophobic harridans Shannon Watts and Kris Brown to issue anything like what follows . . .
With the holiday season upon us, the National Shooting Sports FoundationĀ®Ā (NSSFĀ®) reminds Americans to practice responsible safety measures at home, including safe and responsible firearm handling and storage.
āItās important to remember that the holidays can be a challenging time of year for many, and that may be especially true this yearāparticularly for those who are unable to see loved ones due to the pandemic, or who may be feeling isolated or alone for other reasons,ā said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. āWe want to ensure families are practicing safe firearm storage habits to reduce the chance of a firearm accident this holiday season.ā
Recognizing this, NSSF has launched its Project ChildSafe 2020 Holiday Safety campaign to remind Americans of the importance of firearm safety and secure storage, and provide tools to help keep families safe this holiday season. This includes safe and responsible firearm handling and storage information for current and new gun owners, home safety tips and guides on mental health and suicide prevention.
NSSF and Project ChildSafe have a variety of educational materials and resources available, including:
- AnĀ infographic for first-time gun buyers
- Tips forĀ Firearm Safety in the Home
- AĀ brochureĀ and two PSAs (availableĀ hereĀ andĀ here) highlighting firearm safety in vehicles
- An infographic detailingĀ Safe Storage Options
- A guide for parents to helpĀ Understand Youth Mental Health and Prevent Unauthorized Access to Firearms
- A resource for military families and veterans highlightingĀ The Role of Safe Firearm Ownership in Veteran Suicide Prevention
- AĀ Firearm Storage and Safety Assessment Quiz
- A video highlightingĀ How to Have a Conversation with Children About Firearm Safety
āEven though the holidays may be different this year, we want to encourage Americans to take the necessary steps to keep themselves and their families safe by continuing to prioritize safe firearm handling and secure storage,ā said Bartozzi.

I love some good alliteration!
Yeah.
It kinda has a nice sound as it rolls off the lips too.
That was a beaut!
Protect your guns. Protect your sport.
My son the fudd (a war veteran)protects my grandkids by banning guns from his home…duh. Marked as “safe” by fakebookš
Hope a bunch of kids get some gunms for Christmas this year. Sure was sweet opening that long box to pull out a wish. Times change though, here lately it ain’t been for the better.,,, Probably in the future it will be the rebellious kids who want a gunm, the non conformist.
Last several Christmases one or more of my (school-age) kids recieved a firearm. This year one of them wanted to try his hand at bow shooting so there will be a compound bow under the tree.
Its practically become a tradition that some form of lethal weapon has to be there on Christmas morning. š¤£
Keep your guns safe. Lock up the children.
LOL yup
