Gun safety education is working to save lives:
With a firearm present in about half of all American households, a tremendous
opportunity exists to teach children a lifesaving message The Eddie Eagle
Gun Safety Program was developed in 1988 to teach children pre-kindergarten
through sixth grade what to do should they come upon an unsecured firearm.
Eddie Eagle, the program mascot, serves as a positive role model to millions of
children each year teaching a simple, yet powerful, safety message:
If you see a gun:
STOP! Don't Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult.
The Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program is a unique accident prevention program
that helps children learn that guns are not toys. The program makes
no value judgement about whether guns are good or bad, but teaches safe
behavior. It was developed with the help of school administrators,
principals, reading specialists, pschologists, law enforcement agents and
urban housing officials. Although parents have the primary responsibility
for teaching their children safe behavior, educators, law enforcement officers,
and youth leaders can play a vital role in safety education. Program
materials, available in English and Spanish, are designed for three learning
levels. Each level includes instructor guides, student activity books,
posters, stickers and an animated video.
One of the most important issues on every Amercian's mind is child safety.
That is why the NRA places such a high priority on the education of our
youth, and reaching children with The Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program is
critical. Volunteers, at a grassroots level, are at the core of this
program's success and critical to its future. Together, we can help
give children the kowledge they need to avoid accidents and prevent tragedy.
