As increased firearm ownership coincides with record high gun deaths, we are proud to be launching a new PSA today with Brady: United Against Gun Violence as a part of the End Family Fire program to bolster awareness on the importance of safe firearm storage. Developed by Pereira O'Dell, this new work illustrates the real threats unsecured firearms bring to the home, while firearm ownership is increasingly motivated by personal protection. This PSA will hopefully inspire new gun owners across the country to take action to keep their families and communities safe. For more information on the campaign and secure firearm storage, visit EndFamilyFire.org.
