NRA Recommends Preventing Firearm Deaths By Securing Children In Locked Safe
FAIRFAX, VA—As part of its
ongoing efforts to reduce the number of accidental deaths from firearms, the
National Rifle Association issued a recommendation Wednesday urging gun owners
to secure their children in a locked safe at all times. “Because responsible
gun ownership begins with proper storage, we advise you to keep your children
in a tamper-proof safe, especially when they have friends over and any time you
are out of the home,” wrote executive vice president Wayne LaPierre in a
bulletin to the organization’s members, adding that it was not enough to simply
place one’s children in a drawer, atop a high shelf, or underneath a bed, as
stowing kids in such locations was neither a secure nor foolproof way of
preventing a firearm accident from occurring. “We recognize that purchasing a
steel-reinforced vault that can fit every one of your children comes at a
premium, but can you really put a price on the safety of your family?” LaPierre
went on to say that gun owners could easily add an extra layer of security and
further peace of mind by keeping a separate lock on each child as well.
NRA Calls For More Common-Sense Gun Deaths
FAIRFAX, VA—In response to the
March For Our Lives protest led by student activists who survived the Stoneman
Douglas High School shooting, the National Rifle Association reportedly issued
a statement Monday calling for more common-sense gun deaths. “Now, more than
ever, what we need are more shooting deaths resulting from defending one’s
family from home invaders or getting revenge—the types of clear, logical gun
deaths with widespread approval,” said NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, adding that the
contentious national conversation on gun control overlooked many common-sense
gun deaths that both sides could agree on. “We believe that owning a gun is a
Second Amendment right, and the solution here is certainly not harsher gun
deaths. We can avoid senseless tragedies by encouraging more Americans to kill
someone with a firearm in a more defensible and reasonable way. I’m sure we all
can agree that we’d rather see a teen accidentally shoot their friend from a
deer blind or unintentionally kill their sibling after finding their parents’
rifle under the bed than turn a gun on their classmates. We’re calling on law
enforcement to kill more African Americans during traffic stops and more people
with mental health issues to use guns for suicide—the kinds of gun deaths that
we as Americans can live with.” LaPierre also told reporters that any action on
the issue should take inspiration from the kinds of common-sense gun deaths in
other countries perpetuated by American soldiers.
