Today, we’re kicking off the first annual SMART Week to spread the word about the critical importance of secure gun storage! Change happens every day through meaningful conversation with friends, family, neighbors, and community leaders. As we prepare for the school year, let’s normalize conversations about gun safety and spread the #BeSMART message far and wide.
