I got a call from my kids' school back when the older one was in 2nd grade, asking if I had guns (kid had mentioned helping me with ammo).
"Yes"
"How are they stored?" I was asked
"Properly."
End of discussion.
Funny that they never asked about Drain-O or sharp knives.

Looks like fear mongering... If they slander Katelyn Francis that would be a shame... and pretty disgusting.
Despite the number of children who die in firearms accidents every year being incredibly small... more gun owning families certainly can and should take preventative measures. If this show focuses on educating your children, rather than just doing the same old guns are icky thing, that could actually save a life, but I remain skeptic.

I got a bad feeling about this!
OK, here are your options:
1. NRA's Eddie Eagle Program is not mentioned during the program.
2. NRA's Eddie Eagle Program is in fact mentioned but then belittled, misapplied and is presented as an ineffective, nonsensical program to promote the evil culture of guns (most likely, IMHO).
3. NRA's Eddie Eagle Program is in fact mentioned, honored, and properly used as an effective, kid-minded, gun safety program.

That was the first thing that I thought...these wouldn't be issues if we didn't make guns a mystery and educated children properly from the start.
QFT
I remember in the late 80s and early 90s "if you find a gun, don't touch it, tell an adult" being taught in my grade school health classes and seeing PSAs during Saturday morning cartoons. Guess that fell by the wayside.
I remember growing up and my family telling me that if I touch one of the guns behind the door or in the bedside drawers, they will make me pick my own switch off the weeping willow tree. Then they would follow up with, "But, If I ever want to see or touch one, just ask and we can go out back, or you can clean one."
Hell, I wish that I could find pictures of the house with the glass gun cabinet sitting next to the Lay-Z-Boy in the family room full of guns.
Wrong answer all around.Just saw a tease for this.

Do you have guns?
None of your business. Anything else I can help you with?

I would've asked them if they called other parents to ask how they store their kitchen knives, household cleaners, gasoline, etc.
No worries... I can relate. My dad was Army reserve and a disciplinary coordinator for a school in Dorchester at the time. The strict teaching at home to establish a good, solid foundation in firearms safety was there for us, but there were others who weren't so lucky. There used to be alternatives for this education, but not anymore it seems. That's all I was saying.
These are kids that have had no exposure to guns, so of course they are going to be curious if they happen to come across one. I feel like educating children in gun safety is more important and more effective than the old, "Don't touch that because i said so" adage.
The kids know I have them. They're locked up and the ammo is locked up (separately) and not accessible to them. I've told them if they ever want to handle them to just let me know and I'll bring them out and supervise while they satiate their curiosity. However if they ever see one out, either by accident, or at a friends house, they are to tell an adult immediately and not touch it. I'd like to think if I left something out and set up cameras to monitor them, that they would leave it alone.
It would be an interesting experiment to cross reference the actions of children who's parents have educated them about gun safety and children who's parents have not. My guess is that it would be a big difference.

You're doing it right! For hundreds of years people had loaded guns and small kids in their homes and there was no epidemic of kid shootings!
Boys in particular are curious animals and if something is forbidden, that is taken as a challenge!
Therefore it is IMPOSSIBLE to kid-proof guns! The only solution is to gun-proof the kids with education . . . an anathema to the anti (and gov't) crowd!
There is still no epidemic... there are very few fatalities due to firearms accidents. This is not to say we shouldnt work to reduce that number further thriugh education... but its a tiny number.

Indeed, they are conflating a gang-violence problem caused by the "war on drugs" and socialist policies with accidental death of children by firearm.
Completely different issues.
They are usually counting everyone under 25 as "kids" too...
More lies and drivel from the lying drivel machine.
I was asked this once...once. My response was "How much money do you have on you and where do you keep your underwear?" Needless to say, I don't talk to these people anymore.
I like how the media tried to slander the Eddie Eagle program by having kids do the program and then putting guns in toy boxes and seeing how the kids reacted under secret camera. because, you know, I store my guns in the toy box...
