Perhaps if he had, he'd still be alive just like the person who claims to have secured himself from him. Duh.

In light of recent child gun accidents, awareness raised
for need of Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program

In the past few weeks, three children in Washington state have been shot
— two of them killed — because the owners of guns didn't lock them up tight.

So, who does the politicians call for help
... none other than ......(wait for it)............ the NRA !

The National Rifle Association, education professionals,
urban housing safety officials, clinical psychologists, and law enforcement
developed the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program to teach children
in prekindergarten through third grade how to stay safe if they encounter a gun.

Since the Gun Safety program began in 1988, it has reached
more than twenty-one million children, in all fifty states.

WOW ! 21,000,000 children in all 50 states
- somehow Eddy Eagle is not working for 3 year olds.

Stop. Don't Touch. Get an adult.

Pretty straightforward, even for the average 3 year old.

Eddie Eagle is a very basic firearms safety program.

Locking up a gun doesn't make it safer. Learning to respect one does.

Around 75 children under 5 die in firearms related incidents.

350 children under 5 drowned in bathtubs, pools, hottubs, and other water sources in the home.

How's that campaign to ban water going?

Were any of the owners of the guns that killed these kids members of the NRA?

One was the daughter of a police officer.
I don't know if he was a member of the NRA.

ETA: He was one of two gun owners that had CCL's

If he'd asked to be shot, the other guy wouldn't have shot him? Like reverse psychology or something? What are you on about?
