Who Cares About Gun Safety?

With the news that Michael Bloomberg is launching yet another gun control group, this time called “Every Town for Gun Safety”, I thought we should have a look at who is actually promoting gun safety:

Here’s the full list of NRA and NSSF safety courses and publications.

NRA: 13 safety courses that teach how to responsibly use and store firearms. They probably have even more, but I left out the defensive use courses just to help level the playing field.

NSSF: 1 safety program for kids, at least 3 fantastic publications on firearms safety. It should also be noted that the NSSF promotes safety as the first tab on their website, right under the logo.

Everytown/Moms/Mayors et al: Their site (I won’t be linking) has a link that says “What Should Parents Do To Keep Their Kids Safe?”. When the link is clicked, it plays a YouTube video that shows a girl finding a Beretta 92, and presumably having an accident with it. Nowhere does it talk about safe storage or anything like that. When clicking a subsequent link it just asks for personal information, still nothing about safe storage or anything about gun safety.

Brady Bunch: I couldn’t find anything about safety on their site anywhere. They just seem to want my money.

Who cares about gun safety? We do. Don’t be fooled by the new “gun safety” meme. These groups don’t want anything but complete civilian disarmament.
