Take a MOMent Mother’s Day Responsible Gun Owner Reach Out

I truly believe that, no matter if you are pro-gun or anti-gun, everyone should know and understand the basic rules of firearm safety. It is equally important for parents to have a discussion about guns and what to do if your child finds one. Both NSSF’s Project ChildSafe and the NRA’s Eddie Eagle GunSafe^® Program are excellent. They offer resources for parents, educators and childcare providers to help ensure kids stay safe. 

My book Toys, Tools, Guns & Rules: A Children’s Book About Gun Safety is another way you can continue the conversation about firearms with young children. With parent resources, next steps and free downloads like firearm safety rules adapted for children and coloring pages, my goal is to make talking about firearms a productive and frequent conversation.

While some, like Moms Demand Action are using Mother’s Day week to push a fear-based gun control agenda I want to encourage moms to Take a “MOMent.” Talk to your kids about firearm safety! Help them learn what to do around firearms and have an open, honest discussion about guns and gun safety. Please consider sharing my image below on your social media to help spread this responsible gun owner reach out.
