They are encouraging parents to ask other parents if there is an unlocked firearm in their house. The Brady Campaign alleges that thousands of children are killed annually.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/askingsaveskids.org\/partner-resources#partner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From their web text <\/a>that they are suggesting supporters use:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>In America, one out of three homes with children has a gun, many kept unlocked or loaded. Every year thousands of kids are killed and injured as a result.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When one examines the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/deaths.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC&#8217;s National Vital Statistics Report &#8211; Deaths: Final Data for 2010<\/a>, which tracks mortality and the cause of it, we see that 62 children under the age of 15 died as a result of an accidental (negligent) discharge of a firearm. Thus, the Brady&#8217;s claim that &#8220;every year thousands of kids are killed&#8221; is an outright lie. See Table 10 on Page 40 for the confirmation of this.<\/p>\n<p>As part of their campaign, the Brady Campaign has been releasing a series of YouTube videos and PSA videos. The one below is called &#8220;Conversations&#8221; and talks about awkward conversations. It tells parents to ask if there is an unlocked gun before letting their children go over to play.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9hIO7h5HPgc?list=UUpgGt5QCcZboG-tyu8HTAJA\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I can suggest a better question to ask before letting little Jimmy go over to play with little Billy and Bobby.<\/p>\n<p>Have your children been through the <a href=\"http:\/\/eddieeagle.nra.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eddie Eagle Program?<\/a> If not, why not? Unlike anything put out by the so-called &#8220;gun safety&#8221; (sic) groups, it is a proven, <a href=\"http:\/\/eddieeagle.nra.org\/awards-resolutions.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">award-winning<\/a> program that has been shown to be effective in reducing accidental deaths of children with a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that locks can be defeated. Proper training like the Eddie Eagle program will help protect kids, locks or no locks.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brady Campaign to Stop Gun Violence (sic) has started a campaign called &#8220;Asking Saves Kids&#8221;.
