Be SMART, a program of Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, was launched to raise awareness that secure gun storage—storing guns locked, unloaded and separate from ammunition when possible—can save children's lives. Be SMART emphasizes that it's an adult responsibility to keep kids from accessing guns, and that every adult can play a role in keeping kids and communities safer.
There are thousands of Be SMART volunteers in your communities and neighborhoods that are delivering the Be SMART message across the country in all 50 states. Learn more at BeSMARTforKids.org.
