The firearm industry has for the last two decades provided more than 100 million firearm locking devices with new firearms sold and through its award-winning Project ChildSafe<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>&nbsp;program\u2014the largest and most comprehensive firearm safety program in the country. The industry\u2019s educational materials are widely distributed to gun owners by firearm manufacturers, retailers, instructors and others nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs an industry that prioritizes firearm safety, it is extremely good news to see this record decline in gun-related accidents,\u201d said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cIt\u2019s gratifying to know that our industry\u2019s gun safety efforts, including our long-running Project ChildSafe firearm safety education program, are contributing to helping save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With approximately 100 million gun owners in the country, the data demonstrates that firearms can be safely owned and used and accidents prevented as long as secure storage guidelines are followed. \u201cSecurely storing firearms when not in use is the No. 1 way to help prevent accidents, thefts and misuse,\u201d said Bartozzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Safety Council data showed that for 2018 there were 458 firearm fatalities, accounting for less than 1 percent of unintentional fatalities from all principal causes. In the last two decades (1998-2018) accidental firearm deaths have declined by 47 percent. \u201cEven one accidental firearm fatality is one too many,\u201d said Bartozzi. \u201cWe\u2019re aiming for zero, and this is great progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With reports of many people purchasing their first firearm due to safety concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, Bartozzi reminds new gun owners to use the safety device that came packaged with their new firearm when their gun is not under their direct control, to strongly consider using an additional safety device such as a lock box or lockable gun case, and to take advantage of the many gun safety resources at\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectchildsafe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-accidents-reaching-record-low-level\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Accidents Reaching Record Low Level\">ProjectChildSafe.org<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=chMQqClsLMQ&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-accidents-reaching-record-low-level\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Accidents Reaching Record Low Level\"><strong>this video<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on the 10 commandments of firearm safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, with so many children at home because of COVID-19-related school closures, Bartozzi encourages parents to take time to have \u201cthe talk\u201d with their kids about gun safety and to use tools such as the McGruff on Gun Safety videos and a video on how parents can talk to their children about gun safety on the Project ChildSafe website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more at\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectchildsafe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-firearm-accidents-reaching-record-low-level\" title=\"NSSF: Firearm Accidents Reaching Record Low Level\">ProjectChildSafe.org<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Project ChildSafe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSSF, the trade association of the firearm industry, launched Project ChildSafe in 1999 (originally as Project HomeSafe). Since 1999, the program has provided more than 38 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That\u2019s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home.
