Hey Katelyn. They came to my house to film with my son Charlie. We had a big gun shoot with police there for safety while the kids shot. They promised me it would be a positive piece, but after seeing the preview, I am a little skeptic. Lets cross our fingers. We support kids with guns and teaching them the proper way to shoot and respect them.
Note to katelyn; don't trust the liberal media.Comment from her FB page:
The background music reminds me of the Exorcist.
Must be an accident.
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.

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.
Wrong answer all around.Just saw a tease for this.
I'm terrified.
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.

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.
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.
Indeed, they are conflating a gang-violence problem caused by the "war on drugs" and socialist policies with accidental death of children by firearm.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.

From that trailer, it looks like they are going to scare people into going door to door asking neighbors if they have guns and subsequently put burning effigies of GW Bush in yards
